An asylum on outer-borough Mercury
Is a site of a breakthrough in neurosurgery
You inherit an errorless upgrade to your race
Relinquish indignation and prepare for the database
“Brainchild is immobile, the deed has been done”
“Send it to Earth, the Zenith era has begun”
“Reannex the northern border and build those colonies”
And now you’re riding iron horseback, hair blowing in the breeze
Now the flesh of a foe isn’t ballistic gelatin,
But their bones are no match for your exoskeleton
And you know the Zenith has reawakened
Cast away your reservations and prepare to descend
CO is minimal, 2 abundant here
Conversely, you’ll be strapped to find anyone who cares
Found a broken abacus on artificial archipelago
Humpback with its skull intact and cave wall UFO
In an earlier era were behemoths
From the giants of Ur to the Stoneclads o’ Cherokee myth
To forge our arms it took a mean smith
To steel the mettle of mighty Zeniths
And you know the Zenith has reawakened
Cast away your indignation and prepare to defend
