(Jess): "This main riff has been with me since high school. The whole 80ft robot thing came from the old scifi trope of organic brains powering machines and being evil (E.G DBZ "The World's Strongest") The desire to be put in an invulnerable machine suit and wreak havoc...
I must have felt weak in highschool?
The song became a story about a guy who gets blown to bits by psychic aliens...
(Side note: I have an odd obsession with telekinesis...did I mention I was dragged to a screening of "Akira" when I was 6?)
... and seeks revenge by getting his brain put into a machine built by a mad scientist.
(Side note: I love Coheed and Cambria - heavily influenced)
I had recorded this 5:30 minute blast of distorted guitar. Gabriel, having a great ear for music, brought me back to earth and we trimmed that sucker down to a listenable song."
lyrics
Take me to a doctor
an evil doctor
a mad scientist with a degree in biology
incubate the DNA
What do you say?
Here's a little twist now
Twist now
old doc's family was teleported to the alien galaxy
"Save my Kids and I'll clone you a body"
Doctor,
Take My Brain!
Put it in your 80ft robot and will
Take their world and save your girls
and If I find the heart of the alien bastard that ripped me apart
I will wring it clean
of its bloody green
Travel couple light years
a couple light years
a couple years and I'm finally here
in the alien atmosphere
systems check and my mission clear
see a look of fear now
fear now
and abandon the plan
I'm no longer the man
I am the anti alien "alpha-chine"
Let's get to work now.
Back to the doctor
the evil doctor
the poor scientist with a degree and a family
whose blood and bone now burn beside boiling brain
"You evil Android. Android! Your Primitive brain will forever remain in Steel! How does that make you feel?"
Stuck in a window of time
before the conscious mind
leaves the world behind
stuck in a window of time
of an endless life
leave the world behind
Stuck in a window of time
before the conscious mind
leaves the world behind
stuck in a window of time
of an endless life
leave the world behind
