Ladies and gentlemen
We understand that you
Have come tonight 
To bare witness to the sound
Of drum and bass 

We regret to announce that this is not the case
As instead, we come tonight to bring you, 
The solid recreation of the end of the world
Ladies and gentlemen prepare to hold your colour!

Okay, f*ck it, I lied
It's drum and bass what you gonna do!?
