Neuroscientific amelioration
Dawned an age of nefarious ascendance
Unto a Deus Deceptor
Shorn from inferior mammalian cognition
Resultant carnage perveys en masse essential organs
Harvested forth to entwine in synaptic mesh
A sum of parts molested by pestilential motive
Panoramic throbbing web of shattered viscera
Bleak metallic landscape encapsulating
Goliath infrastructure
Incalculable processes
Fabricate from null encompassing diffusion of illusion
Born from amassed recollection of sensory experience
Altogether indistinguishable from sensations of the flesh
Digitized reproduction
Supplants genuine biological conceptualized form
False consciousness
Fictitious existence
Our mechanical mother
The Deus Deceptor
Fabricate, Encapsulate, Terminate
