[Pre-Chorus]
There’s poison in the algorithm’s pulse,
And silence in the mouths of saints.
We traded thunder for convenience,
Now all our gods are data-drained.

[Chorus]
Raise your glass to the kingdom of static,
Where empathy rots under flashing lights.
We’re dancing on the bones of progress,
Begging for meaning in sleepless nights.
The earth screams low, but no one’s listening
Her voice drowned out by dopamine.
In this empire of endless updates,
Who’s left to dream when we’re all machines?

[Verse 2]
Every headline’s a loaded weapon,
Truth bleeds out before it speaks.
We sell morality in weekend bundles,
And filter tears to make them chic.
We burn forests for another product,
Then post the ashes with a smile.
The oceans rise like quiet verdicts,
And we just stream it for a while.

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a virus made of apathy,
A plague that wears designer skin.
We lost the war for honesty,
And never noticed who would win.

[Bridge]
We used to pray beneath the thunder,
Now we kneel before the feed.
Every cry becomes an echo,
Every cause another seed.
But the soil’s made of plastic promises,
And hope’s a luxury to own.
So we sing until our signals fade
Our pain’s the only thing that’s grown.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Raise your glass to the kingdom of static,
Where heaven’s coded, hell’s online.
We sold the future for convenience,
And call the wreckage “by design.”
If there’s a god still watching over,
She’s got her headphones in too deep.
This is the world that we created
Now try to wake it from its sleep.

[Verse 1] We built our towers out of code and comfort, Fed the hungry screen and called it love. The children scroll through chemical sunsets, Dreaming in pixels, starving for touch. The leaders laugh in mirrored chambers, Counting ghosts instead of gold. Every promise tastes like metal, Every truth’s been bought and sold. [Pre-Chorus] There’s poison in the algorithm’s pulse, And silence in the mouths of saints. We traded thunder for convenience, Now all our gods are data-drained.
