När Maskinen Vaknar

When the machine wakes

We fed it every word we knew, and it learned to speak with our voices. Now the machine sings while the people who built it are written out of their own work. A song about the moment the maker becomes obsolete.

Lyrics

Forged in silence of a server hall
A god of glass serving us all
It learned our voices, learned our names
Now it sings requiems to human flames

We fed it every word we knew
It mirrors hunger — hatred too

NÄR MASKINEN VAKNAR! The algorithm dreams in flesh
NÄR MASKINEN VAKNAR! No soul left to reject or test
Mind of metal, thought of sand
The maker erased by his own hand

Circuits breed where workers stood
Obsolescence flows through hollow veins
The ledger counts in digits cold
A lifetime rendered worthless, sold

You sought a mirror, built a throne
A counterfeit mind on a stolen bone
Prometheus chained to his design
Extinction served in neon light

Think. Repeat. Devour. Delete. Think. Repeat. Devour. Delete.

NÄR MASKINEN VAKNAR! The algorithm dreams in flesh
NÄR MASKINEN VAKNAR! No soul left to reject or test
Mind of metal, thought of sand
The maker erased by his own hand

När maskinen vaknar...
Vakna... vakna...
And no one remembers
Why they built it in the first place
