ANARCHY - Enter the Singularity

Welcome to the fray
Today is the day
Grasp on reality ebbing away
It ebbs into nothing as senses vacate
Lifelong influx of information abates
Upturning the stone
Into the unknown
For having existed, you now must atone
Closing of curtains
Brace for the fall
But unbeknown to you, there awaits a curtain call
Amalgamate with the Cortex Drive
Digital graveyard, imitation of life
Technology picks up where evolution fell
With the promise you might drink from eternity's well
Sentience at the mercy of a computer
It's the price paid to secure any future
"Afterlife" drops the 'after'
And "life support" becomes just 'life'
You envy the living, soon you'll envy the dead
Adrift from nature's course, you've been lead
The conversion is complete, anatomy is superficial
Natural intelligence has been made artificial
Reluctance to embrace the rising tide
Cyber immortals turn to regicide
Traded all meaning and pleasure to sustain their prime
At least you've bought yourself some time
"Better than nothing" is what they might say
But you won't know until you get there, and there you must stay
Deprivation of a vessel, all is shorn but thought
So dwell on how this strife is all for naught
Once envied the living, now you envy the dead
The take of nonexistence outweighed by what's ahead
The conversion is complete, anatomy is superficial
Natural intelligence has been made artificial
Consciousness upload
Sanity is all that's left, grey matter to implode
Never is perversion without consequence
Physical cognizance: your life's expense
Beyond the event horizon lies purgatory
False rebirth, the simulation is mandatory
All perceptions vicarious
To revel in existence was always meant to be precarious
Paralyzing destiny, one guaranteed
What is it that lies beyond the time men can bleed?
We're contesting order, breaking continuity
To feed the shroud of ambiguity
Farewell to the flesh, for code is this realm
Hands of the living have taken the helm
Once temple for soul, but time took its toll
Now database being bereft of control
Judgment oblique
Amorphous and meek
Technology swallows you, tinting the bleak
Brevity spurned, though it shall return
To find that existing is cause for concern
Once envied the living, now you envy the dead
The take of nonexistence outweighed by what's ahead
The singularity's alloy of flesh and automation
Natural intelligence bygone through our creation
Death is a return that we mistake for a resolve
Adrift from our negation, time's dissolve
A conversion to complete, anatomy is superficial
Natural intelligence, one with the artificial
