Prologue
During the Singularity, human life will be irreversibly transformed
the intelligence that will emerge will continue to represent the human civilization.
Future machines will be human, even if they are not biological.
We will multiply our effective intelligence a billion fold by merging with the intelligence we have created.
(Ray Kurzweil)
1 Verse
Existential Risks Are Calculated
Nano Patched Realities Are Contemplated
Remedies Devised
For Systems Compromised
An Altered State Of An Endlessly Expanding Universe
1 Bridge
Descending on down
Into The Abyss
What lies beyond?
What will we miss?
Into the black
There’s no turning back
1 Chorus
We’re at the Edge of Time
Transmissions lost to those we left behind
On a journey through our minds
The Event Horizon leaves us blind
So, boldly go where no one’s gone before
It’s a countdown to a Singularity
It’s a countdown to a Singularity
2 Verse
Mind of matter
Particles scatter
Along a thin red line
At the edge of the world
We wait to be hurled
Through predetermined shifts in time
2 Bridge
Spiraling down
Into the void
What’s left behind will be destroyed
Into the black
There’s no turning back
2 Chorus
We’re at the Edge of Time
Transmissions lost for those we left behind
On a journey through our minds
The Event Horizon leaves us blind
Boldly go where no one’s gone before
At the Edge of Time
Transmissions lost for those we left behind
On a journey through our minds
The Event Horizon leaves us blind
Boldly go where no one’s gone before
Never knowing what we’ll find…
It’s a countdown to a Singularity
It’s a countdown to a Singularity
