In Requiem is a sc-fi fable brought to life in a comic-book style by local animator Marty Mc Nally.   / the.martymcnally   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN REQUIEM (Pickett/Levi) Expanding consciousness Infinite trajectories Transecting dimensional planes Reaching out, everlasting Through the boundless vastness of space Behold we have a signal From across the multiverse We’ve detected a message Send from a new world Set out on our mission Journey through space-time Begin investigation for intelligent life What’s this? A barren land A world of dust and sand The messengers all dead United we stand in requiem Searching through remnants A society scorched Evidence of a culture civilised We find a holy shrine In a sea of shattered bones Where a once great leader lies We’ll gather the fragments And we’ll rebuild the strands His resurrected children Will reach out their hands And together build a garden for the worthy and wise We’ll find out what catastrophe Brought forth their demise What’s this? A barren land How could we understand The messengers all dead United we stand in requiem What caused this tragedy Who brought this fateful end Left alone with our sorrow Feel the pain and despair So together we stand in requiem Resurrected we have returned brought forth to life again The leaders of this ruined world and we will rule again Your empathy was your mistake For our power is disdain We’ll smash you, exterminate And learn to rule again Unite now my brethren Stand up and rise Annihilate once again We rise! (all the same mistakes we live to make again)
