lyrics by Benjamin Newman

ttto: the Magitek factory theme from "Final Fantasy VI" by Nobuo Uematsu

/: Am - D Am / C D Am - :/

Do you ever wonder how the world around you is driven?

Everything contains some magic, don't you know?

There are even creatures made of pure enchantment living:

We want to find out just what makes them go!

/ C D / F - - - / G# - - - / E - / G - - - /

Science never stops at the Magitek shop!

Legendary creatures we dissected, probed, and scanned,

With results more fabulous than even we had planned...

We knew what to do -- that's how Magitek began!

We require energy to keep the Empire going:

Armor needs to march and airships need to fly.

They can all be fueled by crystals just like this one, glowing,

Left by enchanted creatures when they die...

We just can't get enough of this Magicite stuff!

When we find an Esper it goes in a stasis tank.

Every spark of magic is like money in the bank!

And when you rule the world, you'll know who you have to thank!

We've sent teams of hunters out to keep the Espers coming

We'll be up to full capacity quite soon

Troops in powered armor marching to a constant drumming

Led by this maniacal buffoon

So this is what we build from the legends we've killed

I've been having second thoughts about the work we've done

This isn't the experiment that I signed up to run

And when I hear them scream... I remember every one
