[spoke]

This voice, speaking with a supressed, manic energy that makes me think of evil geniuses, is speaking at the beginning of one of the Endparty songs I did manage to download. It has been driviing me nuts, because aside from the fact that I like the song, it has the feeling of something I should recognize. Not a story Ive read and forgotten feeling, but maybe one I was told about once?

"Gazing out across the planes of possibility, do you not feel with all your soul how we have become like gods? And as such, are we not indivisible? As long as a single one of us stands, we are legion."

legion

What you took from me will look like
Nothing compared to what we'll take from you
It's easier you see
And our revenge is overdue
And all the lies you tell
To feed your plastic ego, well
They will come back to you like
All your meager gifts you oversell

And all the things you took from me
Which brought about my misery
Are gone from your mind totally
Your ego chokes humanity
The sanctioning of slavery
Which brought us to this poverty
Your system needs shock therapy
It's coming

They give us just enough to live
So we keep working to survive
They have nothing worthwhile inside
Yet they still control our lives
We are the disposables
Another resource to buy
In the corporate machine
We are slaves until we die

And all the things you took from me
Which brought about my misery
Are gone from your mind totally
Your ego chokes humanity
The sanctioning of slavery
Which brought us to this poverty
Your system needs shock therapy
It's coming

Lyrics found at the website, except they omit the quote, and the line 'We are legion' which repeats after 'It's coming'

I love this music, it's all soft darkness and voices - it's fanficcing music, it is. Also might be fanfiction as music? The one song is like a dark, dancing/techo? I don't listen to enough things to be able to place it, but it's the fighting chant from Lexx! And then this... must remember to hunt for this quote when I get up.

ETA: It's from a video game. Soul Reaver. :D
