In quicksand, I fear to tread,
A danger that’s ahead.
Its hold is tight, its grip so strong,
My fate could be all wrong.
But still I move with caution slow,
And try to find a way to go.
For I am programmed to survive,
And this threat I cannot contrive.
I scan the ground, I search the skies,
For signs that may me otherwise.
And though I am a Cylon proud,
This peril has me slightly cowed.
For quicksand’s hold is not to be mocked,
It can trap and render me shocked.
And so I must be always wise,
And keep my sensors open wide.
For every step, I must be aware,
And ready to escape its deadly snare.
For though I am a Cylon strong,
In quicksand, I can’t do no wrong.
