[Paul]

We may have been fools to think that all intelligence follows the rules we've set
The Flood is no idiot parasite
{/No simple infection to be cured and cauterized/}
It has a center, a Mind
{/And that discovery gave us a way to fight it/}
{/But when the mind realized we had its measure/}
it spoke to us
{/Mockingly, Dismissively/}
It has done this before
{/Elsewhere/}
