about

A soldier stands on the battlefield facing his enemy. It is a battlefield that she cannot leave, no matter how far she moves or in what direction, her enemy is always there in front of her and yet never quite in reach. When she turns around, the enemy is always there. She is fighting a colony, a collection of mindless entities which act randomly and yet, when their actions viewed as a whole, they always act towards total takeover. It is an enemy which is breeding, she may defeat individual entities and yet there will always be more, being created faster than she can defeat them. The enemy has the power to destroy her instantly and yet, it always sits there and waits, slowly, patiently completing its goal. She is fighting a losing battle but she know she must continue, as it seems that nobody else but her can see the enemy in front of all of them.

lyrics

Somewhere in the wasteland a silence spreads
While your friend takes a record of where you tread
Don’t you know that everything is connected?

One nod of agreement takes its toll
You don’t know when a dealer sells your soul
No-one really knows what it means to be innocent

A hungry beast that’s wanting more
Make sure that you’ve locked the back door
I don’t see how long we can continue

Sometimes my freedom scares me

Forever wasteland
Nothing changes
A path to mayhem
Forced submission
A digital playground
Where nobody is safe

In one single heartbeat we could all die
Why feel sadness when no-one can hear you cry
I can’t bear to just stand here waiting

If there’s no outside why should I leave
To go and fight something I can’t see
All you can do is just keep on living

Sometimes my freedom scares me

No call to action
No clear reaction
No foe to target
No end to aim for
A digital playground
Where nobody is safe
