Beyond the Veil

Song about 'The Matrix', based upon the film of the same name. It depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside the Matrix, a simulated reality created by intelligent machines. Believing computer hacker Neo to be "the One" prophesied to defeat them, Morpheus recruits him into a rebellion against the machines. It reflects the Gnostic world view that reality is not what it seems, that humanity is imprisoned in a false reality controlled by a false creator, the Demiurge
