The Digital Domain

In the digital domain
We take everything for granted
By leaving it open to choice
Simply no one is to blame

So you want to intensify
This outrageous gameplay
It's a virtual certainty
That this won't change us all

It comes so close
To erasing resistance
A unique existence at the place where it happens to be
We are so close
To realizing the meaning
Of a field that was always in danger of growing diffuse

Words are the shape of what we think
But there's a disconnection between word and world
Just mechanical reproduction
Of what we see and what we hear
We don't feel anymore

My empty hands are bleached into nothing
I question who I am and who I will be
Time will bring us better tomorrows
But my hope burns brighter than a thousand suns

And all these words still linger in my head
I feel tears come into my eyes as I remember all the lies
Just mechanical reproduction
I will never get past
Time is gone and we still moving on

In the digital domain
War and violence will remain
Not a word is spoken
A monotonous chill of silence fills the air
I can see clearly now the rain of guilty pooring down
While the smoke spirals from our burning villages

In the digital domain
All emotions are the same
Freezing in the summer
And burning in the coldest winter's breeze
A lovely feeling of solitude dances with my soul
(Dancing with my soul)
And subdues these moment of my final surrender
