Flight of the Murkbots
02:26

Let's mark the time when it all began
Before all it all floated away
The trust and the love and the innocence
From a brighter day
Murkbots come from the land beyond
With treasures of answers sought
The people of Zacron 3 rejoice
For the robot throne
Wings of alchemy, indeed
Oh, splendor of flight
Technicolor fireworks blaze the moonlit night
The ex-communicated king
He watches the procession from afar
An oath to destroy the people
Zacron 3 will die
Insectile, feline, tendrils
Glowing black orb eyes
Townsmen bow, the young and old
Fealty of the blind

Dance of the Murkbots
02:18
|

|
" Behold the majesty of our new rulers."
" Pledge your fealty."
" Presenting the Dance of the Murkbots."
"The townsmen slept in bliss,
Unware, unpoliced
The old king in pact with the bots
Poisoned the goodnight's feast
To awaken in the 'morrow
As tired, soulless beasts
Damned to roam and hunt flesh
Could not be saved by the priests."

Betrayal of the Murkbots
05:26
|
|||
|
When we awake from slumber,
Our blind eyes only see
Old king returns to throne
Snarling hysterically
Murkbots are reprogrammed
To perform the king's bidding
Galactic allegiance
Is broken, gone away
The people's tears have moulted
The soul a tubercle
Morphological process
Betrothed hypocrisy
I feel changed
I feel antennae
Cannot unmake
Humanity's last breath
Genetics preordained
Kaleidoscope of death
A pixelated rage
Our claws emerge
From a heavy metathorax
I feel changed
I feel antennae
Cannot unmake

Curse of the Murkbots
05:03
|

|
Cold is the gift of belief
In a breath, with a death
It's a gift that we came to believe
Mold to the masters, indeed
Overwrite, in a fight, cannot hide
It is our destiny
The horror scape
The opened gate
The blood doth reign
On wings of hate
Of the martyrs indeed
Born in flight, terror might, a delight
Spreading disease
State of the nation's decree
To revolve and evolve and dissolve
The concept of me
The pain of change subsided
The new directive abided
Our love exchanged for violence
The cursed collective
The pain of change subsided
The new direction abided
Our love exchanged for violence
The cursed collective

Let's mark the time before it all began
Murkbots arrived with insect hope
Scorned King of Old conspired the reprogramming
To meld the thinking of the fold
The weight of Love, inevitable grief
Have shed from hardened hearts
A precious loss
Murkbots depart by light of blood red moons
We see saviors eclipsed in starlight
No more shall we crave the promise of freedom
Our hearts are gone, we become one
