lyrics

VERSE

Stories passed through generations
Hold a ring of truth
The fables told of heroes past
And all that they can do

Now settle in and listen to a tale
Try not to get scared
Cause, dear, the worm is lurking near
And you may not know it’s there

CHORUS:

You can’t run from the
Monster lurking in the code
You get one silent scream
Before falling into its hold

VERSE

A program born long ago in the past
Made to help and aid
Evolved to something malicious
To its coder’s dismay

Growing larger, tearing through
And leaving behind its burns
This source code meant to mitigate
Became a deadly worm

CHORUS

You can’t run from the
Monster lurking in the code
You get one silent scream
Before falling into its hold

VERSE

Soon the devastation was too
Great to disregard
Some files wiped some codes retyped
Leaves behind memory barred

Widespread fear and panic rose as
Altered bodies glitched
They all tried to turn it off but
None could find the switch

CHORUS

You can’t run from the
Monster lurking in the code
You get one silent scream
Before falling into its hold

VERSE

Now we meet our hero Ether who’s
White hat and skilled
At hacking she’s the very best
And tech bends to her will

Our hero did not expect
To meet this wiley foe
A virus replicates itself
A worm that feeds and grows

CHORUS

You can’t run from the
Monster lurking in the code
You get one silent scream
Before falling into its hold

BRIDGE

But Ether never gave up
Watched as it hacked the roads
It didn’t notice as she
Struck through the heart of its code

VERSE
Some swear the worm still creeps
In the dark corners of the web
And one day it will come again
To wreak its bloody revenge

CHORUS

You can’t run from the
Monster lurking in the code
You get one silent scream
Before falling into its hold

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
