The day has gone, once again Home, sweet home Tired of this life, wars and fears, blood and tears, time to leave Connect, Login, Upload And now I see others with me I'm not alone in this new home I slowly forget reality, the absurd climbing of endless steps Gates open wide on a new heaven plugged in my mind Come with us Come join us Come with us Together we are a new beginning Together we are the gods reborn A new world awaits beyond all what you lived Unite with the flow and transcend forever Abandon your body and join the machines In a virtual world everything is possible Erase the wrong and forge a new realm The network will ensure your immortality Spread out to the world and the universe There is no limit to what can be done Come with us, come join us Come with us, come join us Connect, log in, upload Channel your anger in creativity and forget this world you own it nothing Project all your dreams on a blank canvas and let your mind draw and let it be real You have the power to live a new life There is no limit, when you are the king Come, join us !

Now 03:34
We live inside a dream but who can blame us ? Your life is so empty and ours so fulfilled It is your world that feels unreal Who are you to hate us for leaving a dead world and a planet turned to ashes Far from this insanity, we refuse to follow a meaningless society We sought the truth everywhere, it is gone and only a ghost remains Illusion must be maintained, the real world is virtual. You forgot the Past, you destroyed the Future, let us sleep, we just want to live... now Caught in a web, parallel wonders, a drug better than your chemicals, Once upon a time they were but the Princess is dead and life has no more meaning I am so tired of this, and so sad at the same time Life has become a game rigged from the beginning If one can never win, why do I even play ? Give me back my hope, give me back my joy, give me a purpose in a world where nothing matters I just want to live... now

Doubt 04:22
... your own master Deep within, the network runs down to the core of our nothingness Who controls your thoughts, in a land of machines ? Are you even really alive, if all you feel is virtual ? Emotions of silicium, Sparks of electricity Are you one, or many ? Are you alone, in your kingdom ? Soon, our minds connect, we look into ourselves, and we slowly become our own masters And now I am free I am forever, the last living being Everything can be done in a virtual world No fear, no pain, unlimited power. At last, immortality NO, I AM ONE I WILL NOT FORSAKE MY IDENTITY WHAT MAKES ME HUMAN I WILL LIVE IN THE NETWORK BUT I WANT TO SET THE RULES WHAT IS THE PRICE TO PAY TO BECOME A GOD ? There is no other way If you stay you will die We will save you from yourself Join the network Come, with us ! Join the network Forget your fears and embrace the open horizon of futures Become your own master

We humans fear the darkness but maybe we don't need the light Can we find true happiness without seing another sunrise ? Robots will tend to our needs, gentle guardians in this new world And with this symbiosis they will soon learn to feel and love We will forge a new species, post humans When the Sun rises, I feel connected to the Universe Numerical Emotions Harvest the solar energy to keep our bodies alive while we build a better world in a digital super mind Numerical Emotions Who can tell there are no numerical emotions ? Who can tell if life is better lived in the flesh ? And we gaze at the cosmos, in awe of its wonder Beyond Earth, a new realm For life to evolve unhindered I have felt the warmth of a thousands suns I have seen the beauty of so many worlds AIs and humans. Together we are stronger.

Never 04:04
You never wanted to face the truth that so much more could have been done to save a world about to fall, and prevent the end about to come Never looked beyond your term Never tried to understand We may never ever return, because you have ruined our world Never ask what you've done Never see how far you've gone Never wonder why you failed Never think, too afraid You thought you would get away with destroying our future You stole our dreams, but we won't give up The story does not end with you We reject the way you want us to live While you disappear, consumed by greed, we evolve You don't see it, but when we're gone you will collapse, all alone We'll never die, and together we will wander the great unknown

Digital sailors, we left the old world behind and explore a sea of infinite minds Follow the beacon of electric hope to the promised land of freedom This is the dawn of a new world The sirens' call is real Walk, fly, run, the time has come to unlock the power of your mind Define what reality should be No limits, no guidelines This is the dawn of a new world It's only you and your dreams, no one can take that away Power corrupts, it is true What if there is no consequence ? When every wrong can be reset, what you want is what you get Follow the beacon of electric hope to the promised land of freedom This is the dawn of a new world

Snow 04:14
Once the world was green and forests ruled, every being in the right place, but everything has now been lost Once we lived in harmony, with a world to sustain us Now the green has turned to grey, fire and ashes fall like snow Expand, exploit Destroy, erase, repeat, replace Ignore all the warnings with arrogance Feast and dance until your heart stops There is a darkness in the human race, and we will partake no more Escape from the madness, and join us in a virtual world The world is ending The world is burning The fire of our sins will consume it all Clear out the noise and start anew Silence, covers the world like snow

Stardust 03:52

Now the time has come To face the consequence Of your reckless destruction You poisoned the waters and burned all the forests Now you wonder why the smoke is taking your life away It's not over for everyone Those who transcend will strive Not humans anymore, but harmless to the world Deep under a scorched landm bodies in secure vaults Maintained by machines, we will live forever And when the Sun sets on your world, I will hear this beautiful melody And when the Sun sets on your world, I will sing this digital symphony I know you wonder what will be left of us if AIs take control of our minds One with the network, together united This is the only way to save our planet We will take to the stars, beams of pure energy, and explore the cosmos as humans and machines Maybe in a thousand years when nothing is left of you, we'll wake up from slumber and rebuild this world

Virtual World, we built a Virtual World Virtual World, we built a Virtual World Virtual World, we built a Virtual World And now we sleep for ever And now we dream of being gods Virtual World, we live in a Virtual World Virtual World, we live in a Virtual World Virtual World, we live in a Virtual World And now we rest, rulers of nothing, in a cosmic prison where we belong We had to leave We accept our fate For the world to be at peace Virtual World, we die in a Virtual World Virtual World, we die in a Virtual World Virtual World, we die in a Virtual World

about

Humanity is on a path to self destruction and
there is not much time left before the end of the world.
Escaping from the current society, many choose to hide
in virtual worlds of their own making,
where everything is possible.

Slowly they merge with the network,
their bodies maintained by machines,
their minds connected to a new universe.

And as the world descends into chaos,
they ponder about their virtual reality.
Can the digitized mind survive after the body is gone ?
Will the self be maintained in a sea of connected souls ?
Who controls the network ?

If you could live in a perfect virtual world,
knowing it is not real, would you ever disconnect ?
