Steve Hogarth about the story behind “Murder Machines”:

“I tried not to write about the virus. But it’s been so much a part of life for the past two years that it kept creeping in. The terrifying reality that to wrap my arms around a father or mother could ultimately kill them, gave birth to this song. The lyric was then developed to hint at jealousy and heartbreak - the pain of watching the woman you love embrace another man, or the emotional “murder” of the serial adulterer. And, of course, the arms of the superpowers, and the psychopaths who sometimes have their fingers on the triggers. Beware the murder machines...”

SAD LYRICS

Murder machines
Fragments of life
Too small to see
Don't know we're only human
A planet there for using
Take their cells and multiply
Until it dies

I put my arms around her
I put my arms around her
I put my arms around her
And I killed her with love
I killed her with love
I killed her

SO DARN ROMANTIC!
