About this track:
As technology advanced society was reduced to a controlled state.
Being free from the systems control he was able to see the effects of a lifetime of conditioning.
As he leaves the colony he makes his way into the unknown.

SONSENGNIM Lyrics:
Just when everything seemed right
Signals beemed down via satelite
By the system to the robot colony
Converting robots to the new technology
This had happened accross the galaxy
Now this place had converted finally
Starting with black and white silent movies
Technicolor synchronised sound color TV's
Vinyl and cassette were replaced b'y CD's
Cellphone ringtones, Ipods and MP3s
Beta and VHS were later replaced by DVD's
Which itself was replaced with ease
Television replaced radio then admitted defeat
When the internet made them both obsolete
Mindstreaming made the cycle complete
Swallowing all media nothing could compete
At that time ninety nine percent of human kind
Were controlled by a mind virus
Beemed via holograms through the iris
Some had tried to warn us
But in the old we saw little value
Everybody rushed to embrace the new
Doing just what they were told to do
Not knowing if it had been tested
Manipulated interests that were vested
We figured it out by guesswork
Aliens and the illuminati were a network
Back on the colony things changed gradually
keyboards and tone arms were gone
Had a feeling something was wrong
From the tune of their songs
I knew it was time to flee
When I heard the order to destroy me
