synthetic procedures, generated by robons and augmented by man. i do not know where i am yet, but the scene is set

lyrics

I woke up in an unfamiliar location
a small bed in the corner of a cell
the walls and floor were glowing softly
my head swam as if under a spell

I hammered at the door with my bare fists
demanding someone tell me where I was
the only answer was a short vibration
a sinister mechanical buzz

when a portal opens and a face appears
I finally have to face my fears
this isn't a place of human construction
I'm the victim of an alien abduction
so I show my hands in a gesture of peace
as the speed of my heartbeat starts to increase
I pray I'm not in for dissection
as the creature begins an inspection
from the safety of the corridor
it eyes me slumped upon the floor
it gestures with a limb until
I rise to my feet against my will
it checks the results of some kind of scan
and nods as best an alien can
it beckons and leave, and with a nervous swallow
I slowly begin to follow
