The Despoilers (Metroid – Kraid’s Lair)
Track 7 from "Advprodisiac" by Advantage: proGrammar

We have come to wreck your fun and draw a veil before the sun.
You’ll feel you’ve won, in days to come, the lottery’s inver-si-on.
The luck you knew from days of yore, you’ll take for granted nevermore, and...

See like us, feel like us, think like us! (Come and join with us!)
Be like us, eat like us, drink like us! (Come on back for more!)
Live like us, breathe like us, kill like us! (Hover over all!)
Steal like us, stay like us, move like us! (Evil overall!)

I could never be as one of you there’s simply too much in the world of man I care about.
Frankly I’m appalled that you would even think that I could ever wanna be what you’re about!
Killing the joy of a girl and a boy who for some reason think that the world is good. Tell me more…

You think you are happy now. You’ll know true joy when you learn how
To suck the joy from others’ lives and thereby make yours twice the size.
Despite the fact it started small, you’ll double infinitesimal, and...

See like us, feel like us, think like us! (Come and join with us!)
Be like us, eat like us, drink like us! (Come on back for more!)
Live like us, breathe like us, kill like us! (Hover over all!)
Steal like us, stay like us, move like us! (Evil overall!)

Now I’m having second thoughts about the things you say you wanna do to others of my race.
Having had a chance to mull it over I am coming to a wholly better time and place.
Leave me alone, they have done me no harm and I’ll not sacrifice them for my gladness anymore…

Oh, how quaint, you think you have a say in how your soul is salved.
Go on and get some help from friends. You’ll be beside us in the end.
We’ve seen your kind; they always fold. It’s best to join before you’re old, and...

See like us, feel like us, think like us! (Come and join with us!)
Be like us, eat like us, drink like us! (Come on back for more!)
Live like us, breathe like us, kill like us! (Hover over all!)
Steal like us, stay like us, move like us! (Evil overall!)

What if I decide to take a vow and never interact with any other human being?
Then I wouldn’t have to worry 'bout the consequences of the ways I might have ever been.
If it’s between me and them, then I guess that I’ll just have to sacrifice myself, or else you’ve won… No!
