When They Came for Us

Why are the Robots so sad?
Were not in trouble anymore anyway
And no more synthetic fighting
They stopped the lightning after today

When they took the beach that day
They stole the children, took them away
And I miss everyone but most of all the little ones
And their shiny toy guns

Each and every one of us still pray
Hoping for evidence, looking for clues
All the robotic families searching the circuitry
For what remains

When they took the beach that day
They stole the children, took them away
And I miss everyone but most of all the little ones
And their shiny toy guns

I remember mother that day
When her tears woke us so quietly from our dreams
She told us that father's sleeping
And he is watching from far away

And their shiny toy guns

When they took the beach that day
They stole the children, took them away
And I miss everyone but most of all the little ones
And their shiny toy guns
