Piston Hearts

North American Motherboard Echoes Project:
Record 5.4.1.11.23.37.11:55:23.

The High-Voltage Blonde was lightning’s soul,
And my six string shreds a trans-dimensional hole.
We explored worlds for the song of liberty,
Then found a dead realm of cold machinery.

A mad inventor replaced life with automation,
And his anvil forged a mechanical legion.
In our duet, he sensed the power to enslave,
And his bleak factory erupted in nuclear rage.

Our bodies connected and bolts shot from her eyes,
The engine pumped, a super-charged power supply.
We hit a cosmic riff, our energy off the charts,
Driving the beat of the future, our piston hearts.

Alternate worlds had their own crazed inventor
With war ships armed to rip life asunder.
His fingers commanded an army of drones,
So we played a tempest down on his throne.

But strong are the hands that seek power,
All his revisions reached for Man’s final hour.
As Death teleported and converged on our space,
We harmonized against foes with a shared face.

Our bodies connected and bolts shot from her eyes,
The engine pumped, a hyper-charged power supply.
We hit a cosmic riff, our energy off the charts,
Driving the beat of the future, our piston hearts.

Up mountains of scrap, we bled and we fought,
But defeat loomed against the massive onslaught. 
“Do not fear,” she cried, our nose touching tips,
“I’ll rise again – only time separates our lips.”

Fusing dimensions’ chorus ‘til she glowed like the Sun,
She detonated with the force of a trillion Gigatons.
The enemies of Man melted, and fate became chance,
And my Muse birthed a Cosmic Child of pure radiance.

Now child and I charge a future off the charts,
Driving the motor of love, our piston hearts.
