Rust has taken over everything down here Cables thick enough to disappear inside the concrete Doors were built to keep something in Hostility found the perfect place to live What were they trying to hide, and why? Why leave this place chained up to die? What kind of error became a crime? What made this cruelty last through time? Photographs barely holding their shape Incomplete protocols that clearly didn't work Warnings repeated across every door DANGER Then a sentence almost erased: "We don't know where they came from." DANGER! AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY! What were they trying to hide, and why? Why leave this place chained up to die? What kind of error became a crime? What made this cruelty last through time? Only one enormous cell stands between us Only the darkness still protects us Two massive creatures someone left behind Children... but only in their innocence And that same song... "One for laughter... one for tears..." "One for silence... one who hears..." I remember those words. "Mama said if I sing loud enough, God will listen." "Mama lied." "She said we were good when we stayed quiet." "Mama lied." Now they're both... watching us.
