The Abysmal Eye Lyrics

Relentless and inexorable
This menacing creation
That we ourselves conceived
With covetous verve and credulity
Something this intensely profound
Can never be allowed
The fabric and all that holds it
Will all burn
It will all be torn down

To contain it in its lair
Pandora's quantum prison
In wave after wave
It will see us fail

Consign to oblivion
This thing we cannot grasp
Bury deep this entity
Unlearn it ever existed

This is our omega
Factitious nemesis
The great dismantler
Of our dominion

If ever there was a reason
Maintain this greatest lie
That never did we look
Into the abysmal eye

I think this is about how humanity\'s plight can seem interminable. We commit the same mistakes over and over. We do what we do, and we don\'t change.

My Interpretation

I think the song may have something to do with artificial intelligence. That is the impression I get from the lyrics "This menacing creation that we ourselves conceived".
