Tardigrade Inferno - Clockwork God (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Tardigrade Inferno’s official music video for ‘Clockwork God’ from the album ‘Burn the Circus’ available October 10th, 2023. Lyrics: My clockwork is supreme It is Turing complete It’s better than the flesh Because the bodies tend to bleed I’m making a machine With cog and torsion spring A human-like construction that can Talk, and dream, and feel, and think Everything we know Leads us to the next The mind is the contraption That has grown too complex If only I could make A god from the machine Multiply complexity until It gains form and will First, there was the God Almighty From the God came Soul Eternal Then the Soul commanded body Body made the cog From the cog I’ll make a body With the spring I’ll make a mind When the mind grows almighty Then I’ll make the Clockwork God I’m spending days and nights on my impossible invention I left my mind open for divine intervention While artificial humans will be sure someone’s focus For me, it’s but a step to my divine magnum opus The forward march of science gives us all that it can bring But all that I will need is just a chain, a cog, a spring And while the copper parts grow exponentially in size I fear there is one thing that I have yet to realize First, there was the God Almighty From the God came Soul Eternal Then the Soul commanded body Body made the cog From the cog I’ll make a body With the spring I’ll make a mind When the mind grows almighty Then I’ll make the Clockwork God Cos’ everything miraculous Can be expressed with calculus Got nothing but my sweat and blood To reverse engineer the God But I’ve spent years with no success There’s no solution, it makes no sense A blank space sits amidst my scripts I’ve tried it all, but nothing fits What if there’s no god almighty? And there is no soul eternal? There is brain and there is body And there is a cog From the cog I made a body With the spring I made a mind Will the mind grow almighty And become a god? I need more parts to make a god Than there are atoms in the world There is less copper than I need My perfect vision is incomplete The revelation came to me The God is but a fantasy There is no God, the image’s fake The only God – the one we make First, there is no god almighty And there is no soul eternal There is brain and there is body And there is a cog From the cog I made a body With the spring I made a mind There is nothing that’s almighty So the mind prays… To the Clockwork God DOP – Evgeny Zimin, Dinar Nurgaliev Gaffer – Stepan Lvov Make-Up Artist – Alina Belyakova
