THE REMNANT

 

THEY LIVED AMONGST THE RUINS THEY WERE THE LAST HUMAN FORCE
THE REMNANT THAT REFUSED TO SERVE THE ROBOT TROJAN HORSE
FORCED TO MIGRATE UNDERGROUND AVOIDING DRONES AND SCANS
TO NAVIGATE THE DARKNESS AND GIVE BIRTH WITHOUT IMPLANTS
THE TIME WE KNEW WAS COMING THE BREAKING OF THE SEALS
UNFOLDING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES THE ANTICHRIST REVEALED
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED BEYOND THE SCOPE OF HUMAN HANDS
ATTACHED ITSELF INSIDE THE SOUL OF MAN AND TOOK COMMAND
BUT THOSE WHO SAW IT COMING WERE THE FRAGMENT THAT REMAINED
AVOIDING THE ENSLAVEMENT AND THE MERGING OF ALL BRAINS
THEY WERE FORCED BELOW THE SURFACE IN THE DARKNESS OF THE CAVES
INSIDE THE BELLY OF THE BEAST TO CARRY ON THE FLAME
LIKE RELICS FROM THE PAST THEY WERE PROGENITORS OF TRUTH
NO HUMAN LEADER BUT THE WORD OF GOD TO SHOW THEM THROUGH
BUT THEY COUNTED THEMSELVES WORTHY TO SUFFER FOR HIS NAME
A BLESSING TO BE LIVING AND REJOICING THROUGH THE PAIN
THEY WERE BORN TO BE SURVIVORS PREDESTINED FOR THAT TIME
PROTECTED AND PRESERVED TO BE A WITNESS TO THE BLIND
LIKE THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE THIS THE DANIELS AND THE JONAHS
LIKE SHADRACH MESHACK AND ABENDIGO'S THROWN IN THE FURNACE
LIKE NOAH IN THE FLOOD THEY WERE PRESERVED INSIDE THE ARK
A CHOSEN FEW REMAINED AND WERE UNIQUELY SET APART
THE WORLD TURNED ALL AGAINST THEM YET THEIR MISSION STILL REMAINED
THEY LIVED EACH DAY ALIVE IN CHRIST AND KNEW TO DIE WAS GAIN
NOW ITS ALL A DISTANT MEMORY BEFORE THE SINGULARITY
LONG BEFORE TECHNOLOGY INVADED OUR BIOLOGY
LIKE HISTORY REPEATING IT WAS WRITTEN TO UNFOLD
THESE MYSTERIES ALL LEADING TO THE OLDEST STORY TOLD
THEY BUILT UPON THE TOWER UNTIL BABYLON GAVE BIRTH
ATTEMPTING TO BE GODS BY MAKING FLESH AND IRON MERGE
ALTHOUGH WE SAW IT COMING WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS SO NEAR
SOME TRIED TO LOOK AWAY TO IGNORE THEIR DEEPEST FEARS
BUT WITH EACH PASSING MOMENT IT ENVELOPED EVERY MIND
THROUGH COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE AND EXTENDING HUMAN LIVES
EXPANDING INFORMATION TOO EXPLOSIVE TO CONTAIN
BEYOND THE SCOPE AND UNDERSTANDING OF OUR TINY BRAINS
IT SOON BECAME THE NORM TO TRANSFORM THE HUMAN FORM
THE BREWING OF A COMING STORM WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE
THE DAY WE STARTED CUSTOMIZING CHILDREN BY DESIGN
AND MODIFYING DNA TO MAKE OURSELVES DIVINE
FIRST THE POWERFUL ELITISTS ALL BEGAN TO GET IMPLANTS
THE RICH AND FAMOUS FOLLOWED SUIT TO BE THE MOST ADVANCED
THEY THOUGHT THEMSELVES ENLIGHTENED SO MUCH WISER AND EVOLVED
MOST DIDN'T KNOW THE ROOT OF ALL THAT'S EVIL WAS INVOLVED
UPLOADED ALL THEIR MINDS INSIDE AN AI QUANTUM HIVE
MADE IN THE IMAGE OF A MAN THE BEAST NOW COME ALIVE
THEY RELINQUISHED ALL CONTROL AND PUT THEIR TRUST IN THE MACHINE
AND EXTINGUISHED ANY CHANCE THEIR SOULS COULD EVER BE REDEEMED
