Xenogen III: Technophelia

lyrics

"Oh,
what a noble mind
is here
o'erthrown!—
The courtier’s,
the soldier’s,
scholar’s, eye,
tongue, sword,
Th' expectancy and rose
of the fair state,
The glass of fashion
and the mould of form,
Th' observed of all observers,
quite,
quite,
down!
And I,
of ladies most deject
and wretched...
That sucked the honey
of his music vows,
Now see that noble
and most sovereign reason
Like sweet bells jangled,
out of tune and harsh;
That unmatched form
and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy.
Oh, woe is me,
T' have seen what I have seen,
see what I see!"

In this technophelian madness
of virtual descent,
I'd trade my skin
for bliss.
No balance of the spheres.
No harmony of angels.
The fall of man.
No nature.
We are abstract engineers,
detached imagineers,
cutting off from this
manipulative mold.
Recreate beauty,
Become artificial.
An aesthetic dimension
from this wasteland.
"If nature is unjust,
change nature."
If nature is unjust
we will change nature.

"Blasted with ecstasy.
Oh, woe is me,
T' have seen what I have seen,
see what I see!"
