about

This song is mostly sung from the perspective of the Oankali, trying to convince Lilith to allow their genetic experiments on her. From Octavia Butler's series Lilith's Brood.

lyrics

Sweet cattle eye
Obey your mind
Freedom's a lie
As old as I

Forgive yourself
For giving in
For going through
All that you've been

Just take some space
From everyone
And lose some faith
In human kind

Don't kid yourself
You're not alone
Don't grieve yourself
You're not gone

An alien race
Has an opening
And what we're looking for
You have got within

Your will to live
Is charming
But without us
You're dying

Forgive yourself
For making sense
Everyone else
Got you in this mess

Your name will live through your children
Oh Lilith we're moving in

Ooloi, I cannot say no to you
Ooloi, I cannot say no to you
Ooloi

What can you do?
What can you say?
Oh Lilith, have it your way.
Oh Lilith, have it your way.
