Cockroach-Men From The Red (Remastered)

Citizens of Earth... remain calm. Mars is under control. Repeat... Mars is under control. ...or so we thought. [Act 1: The Swarm Rises] Six legs in the rusty dust Chitin armor, steel and rust You dropped the bomb, you burned the ground Something underneath us learned to count You poisoned rivers You blackened skies You taught the dead things how to survive Now look up. The red planet has opened its eyes. We remember your machines. We remember your fire. We remember the names you gave the things you couldn't understand. [Chorus: Industrial Sludge Riff, Explosive Martial Beat] COCKROACH-MEN FROM THE RED FRONTIER! TWO ANTENNAE AND A THOUSAND YEARS OF FEAR! YOU CANNOT CRUSH WHAT IS MADE OF STEEL! KNEEL TO THE CARAPACE! KNEEL! KNEEL! KNEEL! [Post-Chorus: Mechanical Percussion] CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! [Act 2: The Empire] We built our cities underneath Where your dead satellites still drift We learned your language We learned your lies We learned to walk beneath your skies You called us vermin. You called us pests. We called it evolution. This is Mars Colony Seven! We're requesting immediate evacuation! They've breached the eastern wall! They're not attacking us... They're organizing. [Industrial Breakdown: Crushing Half-Time Riff] ONE SWARM. ONE MIND. ONE PLANET. [Monster Choir] MARS IS OURS! By dawn... there was no colony. Only an empire. [Full Industrial Metal Drop] NO MORE POISON! NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE HUMANS NAMING OUR PAIN! [Final Chorus: Maximum Density, Full Band] COCKROACH-MEN FROM THE RED FRONTIER! TWO ANTENNAE AND A THOUSAND YEARS OF FEAR! YOU CANNOT CRUSH WHAT IS MADE OF STEEL! KNEEL TO THE CARAPACE! KNEEL! KNEEL! KNEEL! CARAPACE! CARAPACE! CARAPACE! Citizens of Earth... Mars is... ...under... ...control... [Outro: Heavy Boots Marching, Slowing Pulse] We are still here. [End]
