The Neon Megapolis Lyrics

The world's currency is blood
And the rate is high!
In the Neon Megapolis busy days go by!

Pumping rhythms buzz in the ear -
Overwhelming tone.
I come home exsanguinated,
Putting my headset on!

All we are well-fed lambs!
All we got is VR!
Neon lights in the nights,
Full of temptations and sacrifice!

Pedaling through the nights,
Giving blood through the days!
Caressing my own dream
To become immortal myself someday!

Hope that I will pass the test
And pay all the debts,
My heartbeat is getting slower -
Being among the best!

Reaching all the KPIs,
Meeting all deadlines.
I've got a right for mistake -
Nine attempts to die!

I dream that someday I become one of THEM,
I become free from all the bloody taxes.
So now I pay, and I play, and I play
Virtual life is where my conscious lives now!

It feels like a game,
Feels like a chain,
Digital chains
On my throat!

Feels like a pill
Killing the pain!
Who is to blame,
When I reload?

Is that real -
All that I feel?
Interlaced -
The wires and the veins!

But I play
And I pay,
When it costs
The last drop of my blood!
