lyrics

Narrator:
And so, my friends we turn our gaze
Back to Rainu and to Mir
Mir’s requested once again that Rainu meet her here
Word has come down from command that Rainu must discern
That spells a bit of trouble for our friends as we will learn

Mir:
Rainu, listen carefully, I know that you can sometimes be
Attached to workers but decrees have come that you must understand
Command does not agree they think that Bunker 23
With the Wanderer did speak, contamination is at hand

They think the only way, extermination
Rainu:
Mir just wait, they were in their bunker safe
Mir:
Come on, you know it’s not that plain
They were right there when the massive blast went off but then
They’re in their bunker once again, it’s too suspicious I’m afraid

Bunker 23 you need to understand will be
Exterminated, make your peace
Rainu:
There must be another way
Mir:
Rainu listen please, this comes from higher up than me
The orders soon will be received, and you cannot just disobey

Rainu:
These people, they’re afraid, we bring them here and make them slaves
Mir:
Rainu they’re animals, now they are not evolved like you and I
I also don’t agree, but if you disobey, you’ll be
Thrown in prison don’t you see, one more year, you have to try

Narrator:
Unbeknownst to Mir there is a listener to their talk
Crimson Rose has overheard and quickly she runs off
It’s very early morning, the bunkers still asleep
But she goes to wake up Jes who sleeps in Jenna’s bed this week

Crimson:
Jes they’re gonna kill us, I have heard the Kratu say
Very soon, tomorrow, it could even be today
Jes:
Let me wake the others, just wait with Jenna here
Crimson:
Jenna I am shaking, I am frightened, I am scared

Jenna:
We’re all in this together, we will have each other’s back
Why don’t you tell me all about your people and your past

Crimson Rose:
My species are all female, each in groups of six
Form a little ryhma and we share memories and things
Once a month or when one of us dies we go to sleep
Absorbing all their memories, telepathically

Here then is the story of my people best I can
A tale slightly disturbing, I hope you understand

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
