lyrics

The huge metal doors make a hollow thud as they rebound against the wall. You leave the halls of the Memoratorium and pass into an enormous domed room.

Inside the chamber sits a gigantic metal man, enshrouded in cables and surrounded by banks of computers. The metal man stirs his eyes and a wave of memory-static hits you with near physical force. A chorus of voices, now menacing, now manic, raves as memories of war, glory and conquest pour into your mind.

Steeling yourself, you take the hand of your small metal child. “What do we do?” You whisper. He smiles and says “Remember.” Hand in hand, you both turn to face the figure on the silicon throne.

The memories you pass to the child flow from him to the Master. Desolation. Desperation. Love for a child. Fear. Ending. The Master’s rant falters and comes to a halt. The computers all around him let out a great hum and whirring. The temperature rises. In a great groan of metal, he rises to his feet.

“New iteration acknowledged.” Then in a smaller voice, “Take care, my son.” He topples forward with a deafening crash.
