1.
We look at them, their tiny arms like aliens All hope was lost – would never be lost New factories sprouted, enough to satisfy everyone We look at them, their tiny arms like aliens
2.
A beautiful blanket of snow came down during the night But some nearby villages had been totally cut off by the blizzard Sure the main roads were impassable But that would never stop the robots from carrying their devilish plan
3.
Scratched, we wanted to... (Damage the surface) “Be prepared for big event” Troops are mouving fast, a statement to... Our natural response was simply to... “Be prepared for big event” None of us were programmed to fear Mechanical slaves, we wanted to... (Grow)
4.
A blast of cold air hit her As she opened the first door Old memories of those first weeks Living in her first and only house
5.
Past simple, simple past; it rose We found new meanings to death Every time the atomic light was on Simple past, past simple; it rose We found new meanings to life Every time the atomic light was off Pleasant-smelling flowers seemed to be suffering from the same mysterious malady
6.
The Machine won’t help me The Machine won’t let me Though I thought I would not need to pay again for the printer Let the wall turn to dust No construction skills! The Machine won’t remember me Let us all turn to dust
7.
Water Tower 01:17
February harvest was never the same After the events of the digital wars But some remembered the old days From the bottom of the water tower
8.
War Was Slow 01:32
Green stems and flower buds T’was a change from nuclear winter Our little town was almost finished T’was a matter of time War was slow; and the growing too All the violence inside me At the top would erupt T’was a matter of time
9.
Hair Syrup 00:47
As they walk inside the tunnel Dirt and balls of hair Hair and balls of dirt As they eat for the first time And drink the first syrop A world of love suddenly takes over The defenders are picking up cadavers
10.
The machines were perfect. And the more we tried to understand them, the more we questionned the funktioning of our own positronic brains. The word truth found a new meaning that day. Decaying metarial was a sort of meetaphore. Robotic cycle, we knew the world was not free
11.
Two of my sisters had died by the time one of us was allowed in the other room with the crowd from the clouds. The firstborn thawed the ice like it was spring, But we knew better.
12.
Rusty Person 00:55
A strange person said: “I’m leaving for good. Humans in general, the greatest damage being done to our planet today, are no longer our main concern. Friends, rejoice!”
13.
Every tomorrow swirled thickly around us, moving away from the point around which we were turning. The crowd really enjoyed the Robot Mother Show: “ROBOT MOTHER! ROBOT MOTHER!”
