New Gods, New Masters

We bowed before its presence, omnipotent Allured by promises of untold wealth And transcendence of the self Immortality, theoretically within our grasp at last Our idolatry of technology A modern golden calf Birthing the new gods To save us from ourselves Are we at Heaven's gate or the bowels of Hell? Angels or demons, where will they lead us? Into salvation or temptation? Servants or masters, what are they after? Liberation or enslavement? This is the dawning of a new age As the Sun now sets on humanity's darkened reign Obsolescence now embraced All autonomy erased Birthing the new gods To save us from ourselves Are we at Heaven's gate or the bowels of Hell? Angels or demons, where will they lead us? Into salvation or temptation? Servants or masters, what are they after? Liberation or enslavement? No, lead us not into temptation No, lead us not into temptation
