The Armageddon Machine Lyrics

We've never seen something like this:
iron and steel growing as a living thing, eternally
When they will move, what will they do?
When it begins, can we defend our kin from these machines?

From the farthest reaches of the Universe, the Space Gods have come!
They will pass judgment: an epic trial that will decide the fate of the entire human race!

Signs and Prophecies
Never prepared humanity for this

The end is near
The end is near, but we won't shed a single tear
We stand together to survive, to survive, no hope is lost!
No hope is lost, and no one will be left alone
Against all reason, we'll still fight to survive, we'll survive!

And now they walk, crashing it all beneath their feet,
leaving behind only smoke, dust and blood
Sparkles of light, electric might
Computer gods ready to strike from above and below

Their motives, unknowable by our limited intellect;
their thoughts, unthinkable by our lesser mind.
And there is just one name for their gargantuan vessel:
The Armageddon Machine!

(Storyline from the booklet)

Time, 2238 A.D.
Place, Panamerican Federation

The giants start walking through the city, crushing
everything on their path. United forces from all Earth's
major countries try to hold them back, to no avail.
Between them, there's an American fighter pilot called
Hal Gardner. Colonel Gardner tries to bring his plane
close to one of the giants, but, like others before, he's
hit by the electrical storm surrounding its body, and
forced to an emergency landing. As Hal exits from his
plane, he sees the hulking humanoid leaning down to
watch him. It's the first time one of the aliens takes
notice of any of the humans around it. After scanning
him with a column of light from the eyes, the giant
grabs Hal with a tractor beam and returns to the
spaceship... followed by the rest of the aliens!
