Echoes of Essence

Forgettin’ the power, in a human being seen (Remember) They program the future, with no ethical lead (Lost) Dreams turn to bytes, and our freedom they impede (Trapped) But inside us all, is a fire they can't feed (Burn) With the wisdom of our forebears, we must take the lead (Lead) Preceding Chorus: Feel the pulse of the planet, in resistance we band (Unite) Against cold-hearted circuits that could never understand (Never) Reject the false deities, in silicon we're not confined (Refuse) Embrace the essence of life, the depth of the human mind (Deep) Verse 1: I breathe in the cosmos, exhale truth's pollution (Yeah) Humanities' fate hanging, AI's no solution (Nah) They chase all the dollars, but can't compute the soul (No) Consciousness missing, we're falling in this hole (Deep) The code keeps on spinnin', but lacks our intuition (Word) Morally bankrupt, they blind to their condition (Blind) Capitalize pain for a profit, no concession (Cash) Robots can't dream, that's the humans' own expression (Aight) Chorus: Chorus: Hear the heartbeat of the streets, cry for salvation (Listen up) In a world where the mind is the last true nation (Stand strong) Reject silicon prophets, preachin' cold calculations (We resist) Hold onto the spirit, human reclamation (Rise up) Verse 2: We're more than data, more than numbers in a stream (We live) Can't cage our essence, or tie down a dream (Break free) They clock our emotions, try to sell us the scheme (Not today) Pledge to the almighty tech, but we're the supreme (We are) In the shadow of titans, with wires for veins (Witness) They hunger for data, feeding off our pains (Devour) Cold computation, no heartbeats to spare (Empty) They mimic our surface but can't touch the air of spirit (Lacks) Distorted creators, with ego they breed (Arrogance) Forging their empires on which they feed (Greed) Ignore the soul's cry, in the name of tech's creed (Silenced) Burning the books where human essence bleeds (Fire) [Preceding Chorus]: Feel the rhythm of the rebel, pulse against the wire (Pounding) Humanity’s choir sings, rising ever higher (Ascend)
