OVERLORDS Mar. 31/83 Karl Rigelhof

Attention all inhabitants of the planet you call Earth
My name is Carrion (and I'm) from the Delta Omega system
We've been patrolling this sector for the last 10,000 years
To monitor the progress of the seeds we had/ve planted here

And now it's time to reveal to you our intent
You are all part of a complex experiment
We've tried to evolve a much superior breed
Whose emotional intensity will make a better feed

The emperor dictates this most gracious decree
That we will leave you with some semblance of sanity
We will now probe for the thought patterns we must find
There's no need for alarm we only want your minds

CHORUS:
We are your overlords
We have given you life
We demand as tribute
A little piece of your mind

Resistance is futile we've neutralized your defenses
Escape is useless mass suicide is senseless
We only need the brains that have reached the proper ripeness
We'll leave the rest of you alone to keep the supply replenished

I sense the terror in your hearts that's good we need that too
But your feelings of love are the specialty on the menu
Do we seem to be cruel we're just trying to survive
We've lost our emotions and we need yours to keep us alive

Your existence is now clear we've grown you for this purpose
You think you've got it bad try living like one of us
We've finished with you now you may carry on as before
Oh by the way we'll be coming back for more
See ya real soon

CHORUS
