lyrics
When I'm online,
I'm in the congregation,
a collective mind,
Deus Ex Machina.
Info addicts,
digital sinners.
We need our fix,
Deus Ex Machina.
I was 403 but now am found,
upload my prayers up to the cloud,
my final Sacrament will be,
an upgraded me.
Porno buffet,
I'm the Rocking Horse Winner,
Straight or gay,
Deus Ex Machina.
Download our souls on microchips,
upload our hopes to a matrix.
A 2.0 baptism
worship the system.
Collect me,
protect me.
Just please don't disconnect me.
We will live forever,
zeroes and ones.
Unflesh me,
and bless me.
Take this sick body from me.
This meat is weary,
this mortal coil is done.
We don't have to suffer, we don't have to die,
no commandments to run our life.
We will pray to a new God,
a God we create.
One that doesn't judge, one that doesn't smite.
One that doesn't care about wrong or right.
Data into blood,
Transubstantiate.
I was 403 but now am found,
upload my prayers up to the cloud,
my final Sacrament will be,
an upgraded me.
Collect me,
protect me.
Just please don't disconnect me.
We will live forever,
zeroes and ones.
Unflesh me,
and bless me.
Take this sick body from me.
This meat is weary,
this mortal coil is done.
Deus Ex Machina.
Thy will be done.
