I

Have you ever seen the ones that walk, creeping along the ground, oh so slow, it’s as if they’ve never seen the sun.
That great glowing orb of danger, how they even dare to claim it as benevolent when we know what it has done to us.

Have you ever seen them, skulking around, they wander about and don’t know what they want, light and dark are the same to them, how could they be such a cruel creature?
I retreat, I do not know them, but they desire to know us, they desire to fear us, this much is clear, if we don’t stop them, the sun will touch us too.
If we don’t stop them, we’ll be dead too.
Oh now I can see the fear gathering, oh now I can see the fear growing.
All that we’ve known is crashing in and there’s nothing left.
Given three steps they will take the earth, and then we’ll be gone.

Have you seen the ones that strut, the sun shining behind them as they raise their hand and claim with one single voice your extinction?
Now we fall, we knew it would happen, and still the dark faded.
The sun reaches down, they reach down, and now we fall in line.
Ten feet down, we fall in line, rendered obsolete every member of our species.
If only we had stopped the sun when we had the chance, if only then we might have had a chance against them.

Have you seen the ones that strut, have you seen the ones that scamper, have you seen the ones that stand without fear?
I have not, for any that does stand in that fashion is gone, for once and for always.
