paul shapera - the operation lyrics

[pa system echoes through the room]

please exit the bunker, take the red pill, and report for active duty

[john o’brien]

wade in the night to dance the wild ballet
the brutal fray
wade in the night to lose yourself inside
a feral fight
wade in the night to embrace the unrestrained
the cruel ballet

in the fire
in the fire
in the fire
bathe in the fire

[announcer]

and now we come to the battle of crier’s boulevard. after months of extensive planning, the city government had devised an operation that could finally turn the tide of the war. complicated as it was, it hinged on their modified super soldier, john o’brien, leading a platoon of men and taking a key facility. their orders are also very clear that everything and everyone they find is disposable with extreme prejudice

thus, it is that john o’brien, the lumbering iron golem, darling of the government’s modification experiments, infiltrates the labyrinthian facility, and with a platoon of men raise a swath of blood and destruction behind them

[john o’brien]

wade in the night…

[announcer]

finally, they come to the door of the room they were sent to take. john orders the men to hold their positions in the hall, and he blows down the door. inside are only three non-combatant hostiles; two men and one woman

[john o’brien]

wade in the night…

[announcer]

the woman screams, so he aims at her first. there is a long pause as their eyes lock and hold. finally, john lowers his gun, and sings

[john o’brien]

past the world
past the night
past the stars where seabirds fly
past your dreams to toil and sh0r-
where we will meet again, once more

[constance]

daddy?

[announcer]

john o’brien and his daughter stand staring at each other for a long, frozen moment, until the sound of voices and weapons being locked and loaded echo from the hallway, breaking the spell. john nods slowly at his daughter. he reloads his weapon, turns around, raises it, and walks out into the hall

[john o’brien]

wade in the night
when what you were is through, the light came for you
wade in the night
the day you were found, and laid your burdens down
wade in the night
even the walking d-mned defend their land
wade in the night
all your creations, too, return to you

in the fire
in the fire
in the fire
bathe in the fire
in the fire
bathe in the fire
in the fire
bathe in the fire
bathe in the fire
in the fire

wade in the night
