	The New Gods of Mount Olympus Listen! Malnourished Miscreants and ruffians The losers shedding skins Like unwanted pathogens Carrion grifters, Diets of controversy Gods are bred like flies in muck Excremental celestials Now god and men alike The pornography of vices Demigods of unwanted pregnancy Avert infidelity! Corpulent desiccations Misread for statues Hold aloft card hewn houses To topple and break Irresilient bones Martyrs of convenient Alternative truths Inconsequential oaths And proud young men Cosplay fit for brown shirts LARPing Sturmabteilung Its written on a napkin Coffee stained declarations Parodies of insidious parades In the footnotes of insurrection They, they’re burning all the books They’re burning all the books They’re burning all the books Look upon this theatre of tragedies! A pantomime of red faced ignominy! Self reflection and compassion falling victim to Terrific display of sleight of hand! They’ve got no where to go They’ve got no where to go With this fucking horror show! Look upon this theatre of tragedies A pantomime of red faced ignominy Self reflection and compassion falling victim to This terrific display of sleight of hand! Past excesses trodden Into the heels of the never learned Their heroes line the caskets Canopic jars of sycophants Bury the cultists with the king Extinguish the torches held herein The tomb erased from records So we know not what lies within Bury the cultists with the king The age old tradition Let he who wears the crown Bear the burden of his sins Bury the king! Bury the king! Weak humans with delusions of godhood, whose cunning spreads like a virus into the hearts of those they have been systematically starved of information. The lie is repeated until it becomes truth to those who fall for it. Our technology, algorithms and AI bots programmed to persuade or dissuade us, insidious misuse to control trends, zeitgeists and cultural norms. We are being herded, a lie that feeds from and propagates the same cruel, insidious evils of racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism - they will blame the least likely, the innocent and the powerless, a carefully manicured scapegoat, rolled out time and time again. You really think the most marginalised and oppressed have any power? Watch the milk toast men parade like brown shirts, proud of their hateful, ignorant rhetoric. We learn nothing from history, we are doomed to repeat. It is a lie that only serves the greedy and powerful.

One of many releases I missed last year, and boy is this hitting hard now that I found it. Very similar to Morrow, which I love, but much quicker in getting the point across without losing any of the impact. Really great stuff. Dementicus

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
