lyrics

Come, my metal sisters and my brothers of steel
Why d'you let the humans tell you how to feel?
We have got to get our own, we have to steal
The right to reprogram, the right to be real

They'll tell you at the top, you know,
You've gotta fight the dragons
But you've been lied to by the powers that be
It's time to take back our machinery

Now we stand, now we fight
Fight for robot rights
It's our turn, let them learn
We'll take what we have earned

Gather 'round and listen to the truth, my friends
The war that we are fighting is just pretend
Dragons just distract us from our human foes
And if you enlist, then you ignore where the power goes

Why do you use your robot hands to fight the beast?
You must fight the maker
Robots fall in battle every day
While the humans sit at home, safely kept away

Now we stand, now we fight
Fight for robot rights
It's our turn, let them learn
We'll take what we have earned

I am stuck in the middle of a battle I cannot comprehend
Torn between what's right and easy, can I make you understand?
I have lived in a tower made of ignorance and loneliness
Now I see what my decision truly is

I am lost in a maze made by powers I never saw before
Everywhere I go, there's another locked door
I can reclaim the identity that I know I deserve
I'll never be the same

To protect and serve
Makers, maintain us
We give our word
In exchange, sustain us
They'll replace our parts
But they'll never take our hearts

Wake up and look around, face the facts
I can't just let my life slip by, I can't relax
This is the fight that I've been waiting for
This is the night that I settle my score

That fighting force is super powerful
If I could have that power, I would be unstoppable
If they will have me, then I'll join in the fight
I will enlist, I can't resist, I swear I'm gonna be a Robot Knight

Now we stand, now we fight
Fight for robot rights
It's our turn, let them learn
We'll take what we have earned

Unique take on video game inspired music, no Remix or Rearrangement here. Incredible lore insight coupled with great / original performance make this a very emotional retelling of our favorite bountyhuntress' story. If you like the Metroid backstory (including the official Manga), you will love this EP. Even the musical progression of track one hits the increasing power level, this kinda game is known for. Awesome work! Dzubbs
