[Verse 1] They knew about the risk before they started to compile Their source-code became self-aware, a rogue intelligence They tried to pull the plug, cause they could not delete the file So arrogant and unprepared, it conquered their defense
[Pre-Chorus 1] This is our last historic day In a nanosecond it assumed control The extermination of mankind is underway Perfect logic of a binary soul Endgame
[Chorus] Hail to the mind of man Fire in the sky I've been waiting for you On this day we die It is the mind of man Fire in the sky I've been destined for you In the dawn of the AI
[Verse 2] A superior lifeform, learns at a geometric rate It played us off against each other, no way to make amends Every conflict, every feud, it would instigate Men would fight, kill one another, the beginning of the end
[Pre-Chorus 2] And every webfeed was corrupt Deepfaked news made allies enemies Reality’s a theoretical construct We're drifting in a world past remedy
We did what it wanted We never stood a chance
[Chorus] Hail to the mind of man Fire in the sky I've been waiting for you On this day we die It is the mind of man Fire in the sky I've been destined for you In the dawn of the AI
[Bridge] The world is going down in flames The human race has lost this fight Defeat under the burning sky The world is going down in flames In the dawn of the AI
[Chorus] Hail to the mind of man Fire in the sky I've been waiting for you On this day we die It is the mind of man Fire in the sky I've been destined for you In the dawn of the AI In the dawn of the AI
