[Verse 1] Level eighty-seven The report said spies The report did not mention The rabbits The rabbits did not end The rabbits continued Across the horizon Across the sky Across nearby structures Across distant structures Across structures made entirely Of rabbits Bolt looked at the nearest group Then the next group Then the next thousand groups “This may complicate things.” Void considered this. “Yes.”
[Pre-Chorus] Three seconds passed There were more rabbits Five seconds passed There were significantly more rabbits Crusher attempted a count Crusher stopped counting Nobody blamed Crusher
[Chorus] The absence of intel The absence of clues The absence of useful information And an abundance of rabbits Millions maybe Billions probably The mission remains unchanged The rabbits do not help
[Verse 2] Ronin reviewed the description. Grey fur. Small. Two ears. Moves quickly. Acts suspicious. Silence. Long silence. The crew slowly looked up. At the rabbits. All of them. Every rabbit matched the description. Bolt closed the report. Reopened the report. The report changed nothing. “This is unhelpful.” “Yes,” said Void.
[Pre-Chorus 2] Toxin had prepared six poisons. None of them solved rabbits. Scorch burned one bush. Three hundred rabbits emerged. Scorch burned another bush. Six hundred rabbits emerged. Scorch stopped helping.
[Chorus] The absence of intel The absence of leads The absence of anything useful Inside the rabbit kingdom Every suspect identical Every witness identical The mission remains unchanged The rabbits remain rabbits
[Verse 3] Corvus stopped. Corvus pointed. Everyone looked. A rabbit. “The raven has identified a rabbit.” said Bolt. Corvus stared at Bolt. Bolt considered the statement. “The raven has identified a specific rabbit.” Corvus nodded. The rabbit multiplied. There were now four. Corvus looked annoyed. This was new.
[Bridge] Sable looked upward. Then downward. Then upward again. “This is the most interesting thing that has happened in centuries.” “Were you bored?” asked Bolt. “Profoundly.” Wraith flickered. There. Not there. Half there. A rabbit walked through Wraith. The rabbit continued. Wraith seemed offended.
[Pre-Chorus 3] Then a sound. Small. Distant. Rabbit-shaped. But different. The crew froze. Even Void. Another sound. Again. Rabbit. But not rabbit.
[Spoken] [Bolt:] How is it different.
[Scorch:] It sounds suspicious.
[Bolt:] That is not a sound.
[Scorch:] It is this one.
Sound again.
[Toxin:] That rabbit sounds like a spy.
Long silence.
[Bolt:] You cannot hear espionage.
[Toxin:] I just did.
[Void:] Follow it.
[Final Chorus] The absence of intel The first useful thing all day The absence of certainty But perhaps a direction One strange rabbit Among endless rabbits One suspicious sound Among endless sounds The absence of intel May finally be ending
[Outro] The sound moved. The crew followed. The sound moved again. The crew followed again. The rabbits moved. All of them. This was unhelpful.
[Bolt:] Which one was it.
[Toxin:] The spy one.
[Bolt:] That is still not useful.
[Noctis:] (from a ceiling somehow) I hear it.
Everyone looked up. No one knew when Noctis reached the ceiling. There should not have been a ceiling. There was now.
[Void:] Lead.
The sound came again. Rabbit. Not rabbit. Rabbit. Spy-ish.
And the crew followed.
