Xylen Roberts-Birdbots Of The Artificial Dawn Pt. 2: River's Last Stand (LYRICS VIDEO)

another re embodiment, starting with a sample of Tortoise's very spaghetti westerny 'Along The Banks Of Rivers' as a starting place. Then took it in a trip hop sort of direction with drum machines & bass, then added some of my own lyrics about a patriotic Inmyeonjo (bird with human head) named after the actor River Phoenix fighting back against an army of decepticon birdbots lol. Lyrically its a follow up to an instrumental I did a few years back of the same first title 'Birdbots...' about the conspiracy theory about robotic fake birds being passed off real ones, something that has proven to have some weight in recent times.

Music by Xylen Roberts & Tortoise; lyrics and vocals by Xylen Roberts.

Lyrics:

I watched a bird outside of my window
I thought of you, your theory on birdbots
what kind of world are we coming to
when you can't even trust the little birdies?

Chorus:
So I will go up on Dirge hill
and make my last stand for freedom
destroy the birdbots yeah

so here I stand, Desert Eagle in my hand
and like a hawk, I'll fly over my land
the sun is hot, I spot me a birdbot
I squint to see him, shoot him with buckshot
my roots are deep, call me River Pheonix
named after the actor, named after mom nature

(repeat chorus)
