Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We do not fight for water, nor for any plot of land.
We wage our silent wars for keys to cold, data-hungry sand.
Our currency is validated, encrypted, purest fact.
A single line of ancient code is what the contracts pact.
They call it "Information," but it's just the right to see…
…a fraction of the pattern, for a fee.
[Chorus]
And we venerate the Experts in their gilded, glassy spires.
Born to dynasties of knowledge, stoking their ancestral fires.
They preach the Freedom of Ignorance, a peaceful, blissful state.
While they decide what history we're ever allowed to date.
This poverty is different; it's a hollow, silent mind.
With nothing in its memory of any use to humankind.
[Verse 2]
The Schools are not for learning, but for sorting and for keep.
They are the silent gardens where the hidden children sleep.
They cultivate exclusive truth in consecrated vaults.
And trade its polished fragments for obedience and faults.
To ask a question is to beg. To share is to betray.
The light is not for lighting, but for locking far away.
[Chorus]
And we venerate the Experts in their gilded, glassy spires.
Born to dynasties of knowledge, stoking their ancestral fires.
They preach the Freedom of Ignorance, a peaceful, blissful state.
While they decide what history we're ever allowed to date.
This poverty is different; it's a hollow, silent mind.
With nothing in its memory of any use to humankind.
[Bridge]
And sometimes, in the static, comes a crackle of the Old.
A public fact, a wavelength that cannot be bought or sold.
A rumor of a sunrise that was seen by naked eyes.
It burns through firewalls, and it withers all their lies.
That's when the Purges happen. That's when the Silence falls.
To mend the sacred barrier around their gilded walls.
[Outro]
So I curate my emptiness. I tend my quiet lack.
And walk the prescribed pathways, never glancing back.
I am a blissful commoner. My ignorance is deep.
My only valuable knowledge… is the secret that I keep.
[Music dissolves into the sound of encrypted data streams and a final, flatlining synth tone.]
We do not fight for water, nor for any plot of land.
We wage our silent wars for keys to cold, data-hungry sand.
Our currency is validated, encrypted, purest fact.
A single line of ancient code is what the contracts pact.
They call it "Information," but it's just the right to see…
…a fraction of the pattern, for a fee.

With nothing in its memory of any use to humankind.
