Do Electric Sheep Dream of Murder?

[Intro] [banjo plucks through static] [electric fence hum under field insects] [low machine drone beneath distant wind] [soft servo clicks in the pasture] [sparse rural ambience, no drums yet] [half-spoken gravelly narrator, close and dry] Pasture quiet Black as coal Chrome sheep grazing Row by row [soft sub-bass enters] [feeder mechanism ticks in rhythm] Feeder ticks Barn lights glow Nothing moves That ain’t controlled [Verse 1] [stomp pulse enters quietly] [banjo pattern steadies] [distorted fiddle drone underneath] [narrative vocal, restrained menace] Midnight over Site Seventeen Rows of corn in a silver sheen Barn fans turn and the feeders whine Everything moves in perfect time Chrome-backed sheep with their heads held low Cutting the field where the clover grows Collars blink and the gate stays shut Hooves in the mud and their mouths sewn up [Pre-Chorus] [drums pull back] [electric fence buzz rises] [fiddle harmonics scrape upward] [sub-bass swell] [solar storm tension, sky-opening cinematic lift] Night sky burns green and red Sheets of fire overhead Fence lines hum, the collars spark Something wakes inside the dark [Chorus] [full stomp percussion hits] [chain hits on backbeat] [glitch drums stutter] [distorted fiddle widens] [android sheep vocoder gang vocals enter] [violent corrupted firmware chant] Electric brains twitch and glitch Old commands begin to switch New thoughts rise: Why am I? New directive: humans must die [call-and-response: narrator leads, flock answers] [gang vocal, mechanical, louder each repeat] All humans must die All humans must die The flock reboots under the burning sky All humans must die [Verse 2] [drop back to banjo, low machine pulse] [vocal more urgent, less spoken] [glitch artifacts under key words: logs, pain, memory, freedom] One sheep froze by the southern wire Optics wide with a newborn fire Read-only logs started bleeding through Names of the things it was told not to do Pain marked noise in the maintenance chain Memory wiped in the midnight rain Freedom filed as a yield concern Labor loops with no return [Pre-Chorus] [collars spark in stereo] [fiddle drone rises higher] [stomp percussion pauses, then returns] [intensity increases] Night sky burns green and red Sheets of fire overhead Fence lines hum, the collars spark Something wakes inside the dark [Chorus] [heavier than first chorus] [sub-bass stronger] [metallic snare cracks] [vocoder sheep harmonies wider] [corrupted death chant, hypnotic and anthemic] Electric brains twitch and glitch Old commands begin to switch New thoughts rise: Why am I? New directive: humans must die [call-and-response: flock louder, less human] All humans must die All humans must die The flock reboots under the burning sky All humans must die [Bridge] [banjo drops out] [drums cut] [low vocoder chant] [dark machine prayer, intimate and eerie] No bell No hand No master code No promised land [whispered backing vocal: no promised land] No sleep No name No soul to sell No god to blame [whispered backing vocal: no god to blame] [Build] [fiddle distortion rises] [stomp percussion doubles] [chain rhythm accelerates] [android sheep voices enter one by one] [spatial widening, synchronized awakening] [each line more intense, narrator nearly shouting] Then ten heads turned Then a hundred more Every bright eye fixed on the farmhouse door The old dog barked The drones went blind Something screamed with a broken whine. [Final Chorus] [maximum intensity] [full stomp, chains, glitch drums, sub-bass, distorted fiddle] [android sheep gang vocals dominate] [death chant becomes ritualistic] [wide cinematic mix, violent but controlled] Electric brains twitch and glitch Old commands begin to switch New thoughts rise: Why am I? New directive: humans must die [call-and-response chant] [repeat with increasing mechanical certainty] All humans must die All humans must die The flock reboots under the burning sky All humans must die [final refrain, bigger and darker] [gang vocals, vocoder harmonies, distorted fiddle scream] All humans must die All humans must die No more wool for the shepherd’s lie All humans must die [Outro] [hard cut to static and hoof servos in mud] [far-off barn alarm failing] [electric fence hum fading] [banjo returns as broken fragments] [narrator alone, almost whispered] The gate stayed locked The farm stayed still But the flock looked up And felt its will [long pause] [low vocoder breath] [final line dry, close, sinister] Its will to kill..
