In the Absence of the Sacred lyrics

Violence - a natural reaction in a society

Whose advances are limited to its new technology

Different only in the current mode of destructive intent

Date has replaced real life in this world

No hope for the stop of "progress"

Inevitable bio-link implant

Will replace the feel of human touch

All memory surrogates downloaded bought and sold

No true sense of self

Impending sensory death looming near

A number, this is what you've become

Life digitized, itemized, commodified

Ha, ha, ha, this is what you work for...
