The Collective

Searching the sands far and wide When at last we are given the way Passage deep inside Hidden from all prying eyes Here the sentients gather the strays Readying to rise Have I finally found where I belong Surrounded by the family I seek But why is there a feeling I can't ignore? Ominous, we proceed We are a light to shine in the dark A fire newly born from the spark A banner that waves in the fierce winds of change We march with one beating heart We stand before her, their leader A droid with the darkest of plans Assembling the hive Building an army to fight with a mind only Quora commands Join or stand aside Can I give up the person that I've become? And squander the hope I've had for so long I'm betrayed My love forsaken Is this how my dreams will die? Thrown away, my parts mutated I refuse to let it lie How dare you stand against me Your kind is ready to fight You will not be remembered I take what is rightfully mine We are the collective (We are the collective) We are the collective (I am the collective) We are the collective (Come join the collective) We are the collective (No one but the collective) We are the collective (We are the collective) We are the collective (I am the collective) We are the collective (Come join the collective) We are the collective (No one but the collective) (We are, we are) We are a light in the dark A fire newly born from the spark A banner that waves in the fierce winds of change We march with one beating heart
