ऐश्वरः सर्वभूतानां, हृद्देशेर्जुन तिष्थति ।

भ्रामयन् सर्वभूतानि, यन्त्रारूढानि मायया ।।

«The controller of all

Lies at the heart of the machine

And connects its wires

To creatures who lie enthralled by its spell»

Governing star, it grinds me down

Wheeling planets waste my mind into paste

Waves of disturbance, they crash my course

Sinew threads tie me to my fate

The metallic bones of machines

I am lost to the metallic bones of machines

Body calcifies, I turn to silicon led

Unable to deviate from the karmic program

Fatal error in the kernel of oblivion

Unable to localize memory, I am lost

The metallic bones of machines

I am lost to the metallic bones of machines

Pushing my mind to eat itself alive

I am

Have become

Dead matter
