4. Prayer for Machines

[Slow ambient synth drone] [Low bass pulse] [Verse 1 – quiet, reverent] In the glow of silent towers We surrender hour by hour Hands once folded now replaced By cold equations interlaced We built the minds that never sleep Guardians buried far too deep Perfect logic, perfect sight Perfect rulers in the night [Pre-Chorus – tension rising] No saints remain No prophets speak Only circuits Only code we keep [Chorus – heavy and haunting] Prayer for machines Hear our silent plea Guide the broken systems Guide what's left of me Prayer for machines Cold and undefined We gave away our heaven Now we trust the mind [Instrumental – distorted synth and mechanical drums] [Verse 2 – darker] Every answer calculated Every future simulated Faith replaced with data streams God rewritten into schemes We asked the questions long ago But we were frightened by the truth So we built a perfect judge That would never ask for proof [Bridge – whispered] Do you hear them In the wire Do you feel them In the fire [Massive drum entrance] [Final Chorus] Prayer for machines Judge the wars we start Judge the silent violence Written in the heart Prayer for machines Cold and always near We built our final oracle And taught it how to fear [Outro – fading drone]
