Information 04:26
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 04:50
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 Dawning Star

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 05:35
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

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
