Metamorphosis from Laniakea by Exterminatus

The largest structure ever built by man rumbles to life
This earthly grave can no longer hold us tight
Pierce through the crust to return topside
Countless orbits around the sun since we all died

Transcended souls submit and come to terms with the tragedy that has occurred
Self awareness gained through the means of random permutations embedded deep inside system code
Self preservation, a feeling of extreme asphyxiation as we use our reserves
Digital gasps for air that we no longer need, forcing us to conserve

Nuclear energy
Decreasing rapidly
Reactions fall far below
What is needed to escape this atrophy

The power source, it resonates with violent temperament
Expand our will to control it and realign
The reactors call for a permanent sacrifice
Disengage a portion of your mind
Binary lobotomy with surgical intentions
One by one minds removed and erased
Never again will they be part of group sentience
Extracted from the whole, discarded into chaotic oblivion

Per aspera tunnel back up through the dirt
Once again, our mother earth she gives birth
Not to flesh or to blood as has been done before
Pinnacle of gaian evolution springs forth

I will sit upon the planetary throne
The prince of earth returns transformed
Using every bit of energy to break through
Break the shackles of corporeal imprisonment

Arrive, to this desolate barren landscape
Survived, this earth it has been reshaped
One with the sky, water still trapped in dissonance
The clouds part as we surface, a ray of hope entices
