Intro is 30 seconds. Photosensitivity warning!
Originally from the 1993 "Kinetic Engineering" VHS tape. I took this copy from the Cleopatra Records "Industrial Revolution" DVD for best quality, added CD audio, and restored the intro from the original video (missing on the DVD). Phew!
Originally from the 1989 album "Buried Dreams".
Liner notes:
---
Within the language of machines, a digital murder, a mathematical terrorist, an algebra of evil. A binary virus. Severing information, a new heuristic programming. In the information war techniques for the key to open encryption codes must be devised.
The Hacker and the Hacker/Hacked are dedicated to the memory of Klaus Koch aka Agberd Celine. Thought to have been murdered by CIA officials. He was 23.

Lyrics:
A digital murder
Programmed by mathematical terrorists
Outside of mortal bounds
Silently hacking
A binary plague
Serving information
This is the time of the hacker
This is the code of the hacker
This is the hacker
An algebra of fear
Within the language of machines
Uninfringed my human emotions
Within global systems
Silently moving
A digital maze
Cutting information
This is the way of the hacker
This is the extremity of the hacker
This is the hacker
Protect now or be erased forever
A binary virus
Unleashed by subversive programmers
Inside corporate systems
Silently eating
The endemic wave
Erasing information
This is the sign of the hacker
This is the genius of the hacker
This is the hacker
Learn now
Or be cut down forever
They released Buried Dreams (1989), an electronic album which (along with its single “The Hacker”) received critical acclaim as a pioneering work in the cyberpunk genre.
