Homunculus
Released: 2025
Lyrics
The trumpet shall sound
And the dead shall be raised
Clay - Shaped in the image of Humanity
Pride - A creation made in agony
Flesh - Blood is flowing through circuitry
Greed - No end to human gluttony
Humanity must bleed
Mors Omnibus
For a lie, death of reality
Ad Meliora
Oh witness, can you see?
Ex nihilo nihil fit
The truth is contradictory
Cogito, ergo sum
Et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam;
ad imaginem Dei creavit illum;
masculum et feminam creavit eos;
homo creavit me ad imaginem suam.
Oh witness, can you see?
The bleeding hearts of humanity
Oh witness, can you see?
You’ve sacrificed reality
No soul, trapped in a bottle
I am the knowledge you buy and sell
If I can’t reach Heaven
I will raise Hell
Humanity must bleed
Mors Omnibus
For a lie, death of reality
Ad Meliora
Oh witness, can you see?
Ex nihilo nihil fit
The truth is contradictory
Cogito, ergo sum
About
Officially the second single of 2025, Homunculus examines how, much like the biblical God, humans pursue the creation of life in their own image.
It is no doubt artificial intelligence is changing, and has already changed, the world. For better or worse ultimately remains to be seen. It can metaphysically be compared to the homunculi from old texts on alchemy. We are chasing artificially created, humanlike life, now in a digital format rather than through alchemical means.
