Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
At birth given scars along tender heart liberties
Injustice for awkward living situated casualties
They lay dead along your floor
Careful not to wake them, they're sleeping
In the morrow's good mourning
The dying will discard the wish to live
Let this colony know
In the name of the dead, we're coming
When I kill her, I'll have her
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, die white girls
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
You'll get nothing for something
Arise the hidden war of a dead song unsung
The night of your children's day
Beneath the surface, sealed by the floors boarded up
Seal the lips of your voice with haste
And cower at the sounds as they make their way
Surprise speed and malice
The opposing break the surface hold ready
Let this colony know
In the name of the dead, we're coming
When I kill her, I'll have her
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, die white girls
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
Will the killing veil love
Should the heroes play dumb?
But killing's no fun
When the heroes are numb, numb
Let this colony know
In the name of the dead, we're coming
Bye bye world, bye, bye world
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, die white girls
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
Bye bye world, bye, bye world
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, bye bye world
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
Upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves
Injustice for awkward living situated casualties
They lay dead along your floor
Careful not to wake them, they're sleeping
In the morrow's good mourning
The dying will discard the wish to live
Let this colony know
In the name of the dead, we're coming
When I kill her, I'll have her
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, die white girls
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
You'll get nothing for something
Arise the hidden war of a dead song unsung
The night of your children's day
Beneath the surface, sealed by the floors boarded up
Seal the lips of your voice with haste
And cower at the sounds as they make their way
Surprise speed and malice
The opposing break the surface hold ready
Let this colony know
In the name of the dead, we're coming
When I kill her, I'll have her
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, die white girls
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
Will the killing veil love
Should the heroes play dumb?
But killing's no fun
When the heroes are numb, numb
Let this colony know
In the name of the dead, we're coming
Bye bye world, bye, bye world
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, die white girls
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
Bye bye world, bye, bye world
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name
Die white girls, bye bye world
Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead
Upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
'let this colony know in the name of the dead we're coming' is quite possibly my favorite line out of the entire album, just the way its sung.
close behind would be 'I will kill you all' from The Crowing and 'pull the trigger and the nightmare stops' from Three Evils
