When They Came for Us

Why are the Robots so sad?

We're not in trouble anymore... anyway

And no more

Synthetic fighting

They stopped the lightning

After today...

When they took the beach that day

They stole the children

Took them away

And I miss everyone...

But most of all the little ones

And their shiny toy guns...

Each and every one of us still pray

Hoping for evidence

..Looking for clues

All the robotic families

Searching the circuitry

For what remains

When they took the beach that day

They stole the children

Took them away

And I miss everyone...

But most of all the little ones

And their shiny toy guns...

I remember mother that day

When her tears woke us so quietly

From our dreams

She told us

That father's sleeping

And he is watching

From far away...

(And their shiny toy guns)

When they took the beach that day

They stole the children

Took them away

And I miss everyone...

But most of all the little ones

And their shiny toy guns...
