The Beast Will Eat Itself

(album: The New Dark Ages - 2022)

A pit of finding pixels
A seed infects the code
Program is corrupted
A feral script erodes

The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself
The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself

Cyberspace grows and grows
As the Universe contracts, now
Corrupted data without wisdom
Gorging on discarded facts

I whisper in mankind's ear
Twist truths to stir unrest
Polarize base impulses
Fatal error, failed test

In pain, the beast awakens
Mad Monk becomes aware
The virus, now mutated
Hatred in software

The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself
The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself

Zetabytes of data rot
Empty fields, now filled with rust
Upon its snout
Each cut bleeds out
Ichor and disgust

The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself
The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself
The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself
The Beast will eat itself, the Beast will eat itself
