In the Absence of the Sacred Lyrics

The song In the Absence of the Sacred is performed by Lamb of God in the album named New American Gospel in the year 2006 .



Violence, a natural reaction in a society
Whose advances are limited to its new technology
Different only in the current mode of destructive intent

Data has replaced real life in this world
No hope for the stop of progress
Inevitable bio-link implant
Will replace the feel of human touch

All memory surrogates downloaded
Bought and sold, no true sense of self
Impending sensory death looming near

A number, this is what you've become
Life digitized itemized commodified
Ha, ha, ha, this is what you work for
