lyrics

As you leave the Oasis, the rain starts up again. You’re reluctant to leave, but the mystery of this place pulls you on. You soon come to a large intact building with a wide, sliding door. You slip inside, wondering what you might find. The static follows you even here.

You find machines of every size, organized by some curious logic. What were they meant to do? As you brush past a dusty console, it hums to life. Intrigued, you tap a few keys.

The machinery around lurches to life. You step back as it begins a frenzied and ever more intricate dance. As you watch, a shape takes form. It is small and humanoid. A robot! One of the fabled death machines with eyes of fire!

The ballet of machinery comes to a halt as the last pieces are placed on the newly minted robot. You raise a rusted pipe in your hands, ready to destroy it before it can raise any alarm, but it raises its eyes, filled with blue light, to yours and says in a high, childish voice: “Hello!”
