Hope and Turmoil / I Am the Virus

Music: Ville Koskinen
Lyrics: Ville Koskinen

Fast-forward to the future
Post-humans have created godly computers
Endless computing power
running simulations of universes

I am the victim, test subject
Human among the programmed zombies
Something was always a little off
So real and yet so vague

You think you're my god
but I'm ready to strike down the walls
of this false world

I am the virus you'll never erase
I am the man whom the gods will kneel and pray
Kneel and Pray!

*** System overload, preparing for emergency shutdown ***

(Solos: Pettersson / Virnes)

*** Re-installation complete ***

The more I stare at this world
the more see-through it becomes
Overloaded the CPU
and proceed with fooling the AIs

My creators better prepare
This is the eve of re-installation
Hidden codes declaring me god
Their little world is being torn apart

Master of virtual worlds!
