Thats what they say
What do you say?
Thats what I say
What do you say?
Verse
Vos is something of a linguistic purist,
He only speaks the primal vernacular-
What you philistines call Old Cybertronian.
I've been trying to teach him a few phrases in neocybex,
But he's only managed a few words so far.
(Just....get it....over with)
Bridge
Hmm, I don't think you appreciate how this works
Our job is to hunt down any Decepticons who,
By their actions or inactions,
Have frustrated the realisation of Megatron's goals
An introduce them to a world of unremitting PAIN.
Pre chorus
I'd have thought that was obvious.
But take heart:
If word of your preposterously gruesome demise
reaches just ONE hesitant decepticon and TERRIFIES him
into staying the course,
Then all the pain you've suffered would've been worth it.
Chorus
(But the war is over.)
But the war's what?
The war's over?
Oh, black shadow, That's sweet, but-
The war won't be over until Megatron says so.
And he'll say nothing until he presides over a society
so PEACEFUL that the very NOTION of conflict is
utterly INCONCEIVABLE.
As he writes in "towards [Verse 2]
Here's the thing, they say I can Talk people to death,
"Weaponized conversation" they say.
"I don't know" I say.
"Sounds a bit pretentious."
"Maybe so" they say, "but you can modulate the timbre
of your voice so that it falls into step with with the pulse
of the listener's spark."
"Well." I say, "There is that." "And then, by gradually lowering your voice," they say,
"You can coax the spark into giving up."
Thats what they say.
What do you say?
