They Swallowed the Sun

They burned the world

And swallowed the sun

They take from everything

And care for no one

They study our rage

So they rattle our cage

But when they were gone

That's the day we came of age

But what can you say

When the loam and the foam has all been boiled away

And the oceans are dust

You walk for five days to the mountains of rust

And where can you go?

This land is forsaken and nothing will grow

And all the gods know

That the suffering of Earth makes a pretty good show

Somehow we survived

We hunted we thrived

The first to eat

We were always the last ones to die

We conquered a world

While they waited below

Molten tracks in the snow

Return to the Masters too well did we know

The locks off the door

Detritus of science is heaped cross the floor

This junk only works when the power is on

For five hundred years the grid has been gone

Electronic art

Ended up lasting as long as a fart

But that's what you get when you love with no heart

Bending to ending as soon as it starts

They created life

It should never be that way

A bill for you to bear that they never meant to pay

They went underground

It was really rude

Because they took all the girls and the guns and had food

Stem cells and cloning and fucking an ape

But it's not enough I must reach beyond

Commune with the LoiGoi and become a God

They swallowed

We followed

They swallowed

They swallowed the sun

They swallowed

We followed

They swallowed

They've only just begun

The children were born

The children they died

When you live in the wasteland

Only the strong will survive

Remade the race

With the science of sin

Create a creature

We all can join in

we know where they are

We hunt them by night

They are dead by morning

Our schedules are tight!

Twenty hot chicks for every old man...

That was the plan, the chicks would eat spam

Or maybe pink slime

I don't know what they cal it but they eat it all the time

They swallowed

We followed

They swallowed

They swalloed the sun

Viagra amd meth

And stem cells and death

They sucked on the stock-pile til there was nothing left

Vampiric cybernetic harbinger of hate

Ain't power great?

Remade the race

With the science of sin

Create a creature

We all can join in

They swallowed the sun

They swallowed the sun

They swallowed the sun

They swallowed the sun

They swallowed

We followed

They swallowed

They swallowed the sun

They swallowed

We followed

They swallowed the sun
