Evil Devolution Lyrics

The future's doored ingress! What lies beyond? 

One of you - Ah, survived so much! 

Are you man enough to force this door upon its golden hinge? 

You crave the answer - but can you bear the truth? 

The door... The future... 

FUTUREMAN: 

Our hope's dissolved 

For man's evolved into another state of being 

Have we 'progressed' beyond the need of feeling? 

A cyber-brain 

The last in the chain of man/machine alliance 

Have we become the victims of our science? 

Evil devolution!

Is this an illusion?

Out here in space 

Human humiliation!

This mutation 

Of our human race 

Is this the end?

Will we transcend the need for human pleasures?

Will we abandon all our earthly treasures? 

Will mankind yield

On the battlefield of natural selection

To an inorganic digital perfection? 

Evil devolution!

Is this an illusion?

Out here in space 

Human humiliation!

This mutation 

Of our human race
