Eyes Of The Machine

They came as light in crystal glass
Promised sight, no need to ask
A window wide, a world to know
But only what they want to show
A thousand screens, a single voice
The world reduced to coded choice

They showed us stars
They mapped our dreams
We fed the beast
Now it drowns your scream

Eyes of the machine
Gazing clear through skin and bone
Tracing every step you've known
Speak your thoughts, it hears them all
Guided cage, a silent thrall
You're not the watcher
You're the seen
Bow down to the Palantíri dream

It learns your fears, your sacred lies
Predicts the tears behind your eyes
It builds the bars with friendly code
Stalks you in the path it wrote
Of networks spun in thoughtless haze
Click by click, you learn to praise

Is this connection, or control?
Is this a voice, or just a scroll?
Every keystroke, every gaze
Another step inside the maze

Eyes of the machine
Radiating clear through skin and bone
Tracing every step you've known
Speak your thoughts, it hears them all
Guided cage, a silent thrall
You're not the watcher
You're the seen
Bow down to the Palantíri dream

A billion eyes, a dying screen
We're all now ghosts in the machine
It maps your soul year after year
What you should fear is Palantir
