Lyrics for Computer-Reign (Game Over)

Ayreon describes a distant future in which technology triumphs over passion, And 'serving' computers will gradyally gain control over mankind. I see a future cold as ice Where all the love has gone I see a race that pays the price For everything it's done I see shadows of giant machines Cast upon the land I see a world where kings nor queens But chips are in command Computer... computer... computer... Computer-reign Now the end has just begun Technology has won And it cannot be undone There will be nowhere to run Now the damage has been done Game over! game over! I see a game gone out of hand And memories erased I see a programmed masterplan And man will be replaced I see a planet die in space And slowly fade away I see the end of the human race There has to be a way
