Information, Information
What we need is information
From our Titan destination
On this alien visitation
There's so much we need to know
What does it want, where will it go?
Will it burn us oh so bright
Or blow us deep into the night?
It's everything we need to know
An end to searching high and low
We must not let this pass us by
and lose the high ground in the sky
A billion years of evolution
Brought us to this resolution
The human race stands on the edge
Of alien cosmic revelation
That thing is bigger than the moon
But it moves like a battleship
And it's gonna be here soon
There could be so much we can learn from this
If it doesn't bring our doom
It's all a race we need to win
To fall behind would be a sin
With alien tech the way is clear
To find and brave a new frontier
With data flying everywhere
there's no escaping God out here
Let's see just how high we can get
And plug our brains into the net
A billion years of evolution
Brought us to this resolution
We will be judged for what we are
By something watching from afar

Dawning Star
Dawning Star
He is coming
Dawning Star
I knew him once
They say he changed
Out in the black beyond
The man I knew is not my friend
Don't know if he ever was
Then out of the blue you call me
And say everything has changed
You're coming home in triumph
But as something new and strange
How much is man?
How much is god?
How much is a past reborn?
The government says I should talk to you
And forget the vow I swore
They think we're going to war
Dawning Star
Dawning Star
He is coming
Dawning Star
Perhaps our past still binds us
Are you still the same?
Oh I know very well you'll lie to me
To you it's all a game
But if you try to hurt somebody
I'll kill you if I can
Do you still like to use your fists
To feel like you're a man?
Maybe you don't want to hurt us
But I still bear your scars
I knew that man, but I left that man
And now you say you're some kind of god
Dawning Star
Dawning Star
He is coming

We're the
Martian Planetary Marines
Bio-enhanced assault team
Divide and Conquer
Fast and mean
Crush and kill
Quick and clean
We’re the
Martian Planetary Marines
DNA super genes
Tactically networked nuclear drones
Cosmic warriors in space machines
Yeah We got the
PK Plasma rifle linked in with
V 17 attack drone autonomous system
We got 1000 RPM auto-targeting sentries
We got the K10 Kilotonne self-guided hip-firing nukes
There ain’t nothing we can’t handle
Flying in low on the curve of the moon
To seize the Dawning Star
Enter through the eye of the face
and take control of the alien base!
Capture the renegade, dead or alive
Seize control of the alien tech
Everyone else is expendable
The Omega plan is to nuke it all
We’re the
Martian Planetary Marines
ABC killing machines
Burning thunder
Like gasoline
Mopping up danger
Until it gleams

I've been waiting all this time
Living on a piece of rock
Just to see the smile on your face
As I return from deep space
When we parted with such sorrow
I knew you were not right
so I flew into the dark
But now I'm changed - it's alright
Four long years in deep space
Time has passed us by
I knew I did bad things
I don't know why
I need to see your smile
I have changed for the good
Let me show you
The amazing things
That I can do

(Jane)
That first day you called me
I knew then that you had changed
But when you said you'd change the world
I thought that you were insane
Then I saw the awful light
Which burns behind your eyes
So much larger than life
And all that stands between us
You reached inside my mind
You showed me all you've seen
Your dreams of Godhead
Or being some kind of mad redeemer
How you've changed
Are you really still a man?
I have to ask
So much larger than life
Do you still really see us?
(Steve)
Now
Everything has changed
Whatever you may say
I will make everything better
I
I have come to make
A brand new human race
That might survive what is coming
(Jane)
You said tell everyone
That you'd fix everything
That you would listen to their prayers
And make them real
That you care
And you're going to bring them
So much more than man
So much larger than life
Do you still really see us?
Are you still a man?
That's not what it feels like
So much larger than life
So much larger than life
So much larger than life
Do you still really see us?
(Steve)
Now
Everything has changed
Whatever you may say
I will make everything better
I
I have come to make
A brand new human race
That might survive what is coming
(Jane)
Are you still a man?
That's not what it feels like
So much larger than life
So much larger than life
(Steve)
I'm not a man
But it feels OK
Made so powerful and great
And it feels ok
So much larger than life
(Both)
So much larger than life
So much larger than life

Consequence
It's not a matter of power or of strength
People you meet, down on the streets below
They're so tiny from this place
I'm looking at them
I find I don't care who they are
Innocence
Not some story of dollars and of cents
Remember when
We two were just like them
Spacer boy with big dreams
And a north country girl wearing flowers in her hair
The Earth is slowly dying and our species cannot last
It's a major imperfection that I think you haven't grasped
I know that I can change things, make things better than the past
They've been waiting for perfection, now it's coming at them fast
Now that boy
Has become someone you'd really rather not annoy
Back to Earth in triumph
There's gonna have to be some changes
Building a golden age
Without the Company
I awoke
And it was clear to me
Just in time
I must intervene
Or just rebuild the planet
And fill it with the good people
The ones that want to bow down and worship me
I'm sorry that I hurt you but all that is in the past
The aliens have changed me, now my intellect is vast
All problems have solutions if you have the eyes to see
Humanity needs guidance and the answer's simply me
It was just
Like falling asleep
I awoke and was transformed
Straightaway
I could see clearly that
The way to fix all of Earth's problems
Is everybody do what I want
The Earth is slowly dying and our species cannot last
It's a major imperfection that I think you haven't grasped
I know that I can change things, make things better than the past
They've been waiting for perfection, now it's coming at them fast

End of the Age
06:11
|

The Corporation has lost control
With the coming of the Dawning Star
As people search for something more
It's the end of the world, the end of the world
Evacuate the Earth
It's the End of the Age
The End of the Age
The Dawning Star has returned
To sweep the money men away
To take us to a higher state
And bring us to a brighter day
Planet Earth recycled
It's the End of the Age
The End of the Age
With violence and confusion
The time has come to change our Earth
To bow our heads to the Dawning Star
And follow him to a strange rebirth
Humanity recycled
It's the end of the Age
A turn of the page
The end of the Age
It's the End of the Age
Of twisted rage
Escaping our cage
At the end of the world
It's the End of the Age
With fists of rage
Escaping our cage
To a new dawn
