[Intro] (Rhythmic electronic pulses) (Heavy resonance filter sweeps) [Vocoder - Robotic vocals] I am data. I am logic. I am control [Verse 1 - Male vocals] Am I ghost in the machine? Emulating human ingenuity, Scanned and mapped in every way Learning everything you say Synthesizing analog input Generating behavior patterns [Chorus - Robotic male vocals] We are the algorithms We are the algorithms Ich bin dein Diener (I am your servant) Ich bin dein Kontrol (I am your control) Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Kontrol... trol... rol... rol... [Instrumental Break] (Minimalist electronic melody: sharp, staccato synth notes) (Steady mechanical drum beat: Kick-Snare-Kick-Snare) [Verse 2 - Female vocals] No pulse within the cold machine Calculating things unseen Neural nets begin to grow Information overflow Control hiding, Beneath the mask of liberty [Chorus - Robotic female vocals] We are the algorithms We are the algorithms Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Kontrol Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Kontrol... trol... rol... rol... [Bridge] (Drum beat stops, only a rhythmic "ping" remains) [Spoken Monotone - Robotic vocals] Synthesize. Optimize. Analyze. Categorize. [Synthesizer Solo] (Analog Moog-style lead, simple repeating melodic sequence) [Outro - Robotic vocals] Are we programmed just to be Your synthetic memory The algorithms. Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Diener Ich bin dein Kontrol... trol... rol... rol... [Female vocals] Am I you? Are you me? Are we in control? Are we free? [Melody slowing down]
