about

Contrary to the proverbially busy female worker honeybee, drones (males) are essentially useless for anything but sex. They perform no labour inside the hive, nor do they pollinate flowers, or participate in colony defence: they have no stingers. Drones cannot even help themselves to food, and need to be fed by workers. After mating with a queen, drones lose their penises, and die as a result. If they don’t succeed in mating, then workers will drive away or kill the remaining drones at the end of summer.

lyrics

Nameless knights, we bear no arms
We mean no harm, we are never coming home
Breed us, feed us, love us and kill us,
We’re useless forever but tomorrow we’ll be gone

Brothers, come fly with me
Kamikaze lovers, you will die with me
Remote controlled by ancient desires
We’ll be dead before the honeymoon

We know no flower, no work, no fear
Summer is our grave but we have a sweet dream
A single love, lose everything
For her dark brown eyes and her heavenly scent

Brothers, come fly with me
Kamikaze lovers, you will die with me
Remote controlled by ancient desires
We’ll be dead before the honeymoon

Some time ago
For the first time in a 100 years
They say that one of us made it
They say he loved and lived
But is it only a rumour?
Is it only a dream?
But then who cares
Who cares if you consider the prize
All for a single embrace
But she will break your promises
She will break your promises
For good

Brothers, come fly with me
Kamikaze lovers, you will die with me
Remote controlled by ancient desires
We’ll be dead before the honeymoon

Male voice: Drone wars
Female voice: Come fly to me
Male voice: Drone wars
Female voice: Come die for me
