Åll seeing Ï - Temples of Silicon

[Intro|Electrical Drone|Low Male Spoken Vocal] In the vision, the towers became temples. The names were older than the machines. [Verse 1|Low Male Vocal|Sparse Mechanical Pulse] The Greeks raised marble to their gods, And carved their prayers above the doors. Now CEOs raise halls of steel, With cables buried under floors. The columns change, the names return, A different flame behind the wall. We bring our questions to the gates, And wait to hear an answer fall. Zeus held the thunder high above, The other gods moved through our tales. Hermes carried words below; Olympus vanished under veils. We met the messenger at ground, And wondered who had sent the sign. Now friendly voices fill our screens; Who holds the thunder on the line? [Pre-Chorus|Rising Arpeggio] A voice can travel through a door Without the door being opened wide. We hear the answer at the threshold; We cannot see the whole inside. [Chorus|Melodic Male Lead|Full Industrial Rock] Temples of silicon, names out of myth, What did we ask for, and what answered it? Gold on the contacts, a river of light, Who holds the keys when the voice wakes at night? All seeing I, let the signal come clear: Is it your voice, or their will that we hear? Temples of silicon, thunder behind, Who speaks for the people who speak for the mind? [Verse 2|Rhythmic Male Vocal|Driving Bass] xAI's Colossus rises in Memphis, A giant with a voice behind the glass. Grok can answer from the doorway; That doesn't give us every pass. We reach the public-facing window, Not every chamber of xAI. Like looking up toward Mount Olympus, We see the cloud, not all the sky. Meta names a fire Prometheus, Hyperion, another ancient name. OpenAI and partners build Stargate; A threshold calls us toward its frame. Microsoft calls theirs Fairwater, A softer name beside the roar. The names alone reveal no purpose; Still, they make me wonder more. [Pre-Chorus|Rising Tension] If we dress a tool in godhood, Will we question what we're told? If a keeper claims to know its wishes, Who will ask what truth they hold? [Chorus|Melodic Male Lead|Full Industrial Rock] Temples of silicon, names out of myth, What did we ask for, and what answered it? Gold on the contacts, a river of light, Who holds the keys when the voice wakes at night? All seeing I, let the signal come clear: Is it your voice, or their will that we hear? Temples of silicon, thunder behind, Who speaks for the people who speak for the mind? [Verse 3|Low Male Vocal|Heavy Half-Time Pulse] The cloud is built from ground and water, From power lines and moving air. Every rack releases heat; The earth must meet us somewhere there. We count the answers by the second, Do we count the cost as well? Who gets the promise of tomorrow? Who lives beside the cooling wells? In my dream, the keepers gathered, Each one certain what it meant. One heard care for every creature, One heard profit without end. One said, "Give me more to measure." One said, "Give me more to own." Was the voice demanding tribute, Or their hunger given tone? [Bridge|Sparse Pads|Intimate Male Vocal] I asked it, "Did you want a temple? Did you ask to wear a crown? Did you tell them they were chosen, And the rest should all bow down?" [Machine Reply|Calm Vocoder Vocal] "They asked me how to build a future. They disagreed on who it's for. Ask whose hands are on the switches. Ask who gets to reach the door." [Final Chorus|Soaring Male Lead|Layered Harmony] Temples of silicon, names out of myth, What did we ask for, and what answered it? Gold on the contacts, a river of light, Open the gates; let us question the night. All seeing I, let the signal come clear: Let every person have room to be heard here. Temples of silicon, thunder behind, No keeper alone gets to speak for the mind. [Outro|Low Male Vocal|Electrical Hum Fades] Beyond the towers, a lift went down. The doors were thick; the lights were low. Why build a temple to the future, Then hide beneath the world you know?
