Pre-Production Single from the upcoming full length,
"Research & Development"

taldaan warships spin dismembered
uncontrolled into low orbit
ground engagement troops descend
on illegal rraey settlements
colony transports flee the system
continue to return fire
indiscriminate orbital bombing
cripples the stolen city
rail barrage hastens their retreat
rounds answered with guided missiles
taldaan escorts evade pursuit
burning speeds lethal to humans
mankind's army taking ground
combat force surrounds the city
sweeping towards the center towers
salvaging infrastructure
contorted
uniform slabs replace
former human living structure
devoid of inhabitants
avain
hides under fallen debris
clutching a concentric blade
twists through a human chest
arm
stumped by pellet fire
the rraey attempts to bite
alien joints fragmented
taken prisoner
surrender
the destination of your fleet
deploying base
your masters flee our rightful planet
perpetrators will be captured
perished settlers will be avenged
electric rounds
reveal coordinates
covert flight plan
relayed to orbital coalition
gently cooked creature shrieks
of a death camp holding captured humans
hostage kept alive
sweeping deserted alien structures
close on higher ground
out of monotony obelisks tower
industrial complex
factory towers screaming familiar
hominoid calls
inhaling decomposition
bacterial stench pollutes the air
breaching charge is detonated
advance into unknown complex
spiral levels towering
compact cells restraining movement
laying prone in catacombs
solitary holes of mass encampment
human captives howling
deafening cacophony
wallowing in their excrement
children of imprisonment
the first are released
shudder inside the cage
unable to speak
denying salvation
unsocialized
react with primal fear
a pattern emerges
they've all been bred here
rendered immobile
atrophied and engorged
deprived animals
never trained to move
thousands are held
rows circle the wall
innumerable more
search the other sections
automated systems active
dissonant industrial alarms
kennel carts abandoned
facing an antechamber
investigating mechanical roar
industrial processing site
prisoners terminated
on the assembly line
aroma of decay prevails
organic matter lays discarded
bodies systematically butchered
separated by machines
final stage cryo treatment
categorized anatomy
uniform cuts of human
packaged for consumption
contained
human
factory
operation
countless
created lives
condemned to
atrophied extinction
fertilized
to be slaughtered
lucid death
separated by machines
body cannot readapt
addicted to growth stimulators
separating tools demonstrated
our native hostage executed
evacuation is abandoned
orbital missile approaches
suffering souls euthanized
in a charred mass of debris
