Pulled from the sky
My trajectory leads me to impact
Faster than the speed of sound
To meet with the ground
An interstellar stone
Tumbling from the grasp of a star
I change hands to a new master
I never meant to end this way
I intended to decay
In the space between
Jupiter and Mars
We were never meant to meet
But my journey is complete
Now I am your defeat
Its overwhelming
At the edge of a peninsula
At the shore of the ocean
I find my target deep in the earth
A million lizards cry
A wail of anguish and confusion
Their world erased in a moment
Of heat and blinding light
I never meant to end this way
I intended to decay
In the space between
Jupiter and Mars
We were never meant to meet
But my journey is complete
Now I am your defeat
Its overwhelming
I never wanted
To destroy you
I never meant to end this way
I intended to decay
In the space between
Jupiter and Mars
We were never meant to meet
But my journey is complete
Now I am your defeat
Its overwhelming

This Is the Way

Watch the moon rise through
A glinting haze
While the continents below
Roll gently away
It took till now for me to realize
I've never been so far from home
Set a course into the sky
You and I are side by side
This is the way we can leave our world behind
Together and with cooperation
It was never one of us alone
Each stone in a tower reaching to the stars
Was laid by human hands
It took all of us participating
I wouldn't have it any other way
Set a course into the sky
You and I are side by side
This is the way we can leave our world behind
Together and with cooperation
Don't let anyone tell you, you are only one
Don't let them sever us apart
I'll climb these steps beside you
Set a course into the sky
You and I are side by side
This is the way we can leave our world behind
Together and with cooperation

Scavenger
04:57

There are no angels
In the sky tonight
They were choked by acid clouds
We left behind
There are no birds on wings
In graceful flight
It’s only I
And the junk in orbit
I build a kingdom from the dirt
Scavenger!
Of the wreckage
Of our first attempts to leave this world
Scavenger
Of the messes
Of the treasure encircling the Earth
A silent patrol
As cyclones twist below
Untold wonders of a
Past prophetic age
Plutonium
Polonium
There's nothing better than
The first catch of the day
Magnetic fishing lines
Pull in radio isotope decay
Shattered ships and shattered dreams
Human blood turned into steam
We were never out of time
Our fates are intertwined
But now I can't believe it's over
A kingdom cast into the dirt
It hurts to know that we were so close
Before promise turns to war
Scavenger!
Of the wreckage
Of our first attempts to leave this world
Scavenger
Of the messes
Of the treasure encircling the Earth

Behold a figure taking shape
In black oblivion
I send an image to a tape
A thousand days towards the sun
An ending
So tragic
So worthy
So bitter in my heart
My steel now
Once stolen
From the earth now given to the void
I feel my bones begin to shake
The ride is over
This is my purpose and my fate
This is my stop I can't be late
Don't seek, you'll never find me
But I left a path behind me
Promise me you'll follow it someday
A swirling storm of gold and white
A ring that glitters in the light
Crystal shards, if they were closer
You'd hear them sing
Prepare me
For burial
A funeral
Alone amongst the clouds
Forget me not
This sacrifice
I feel my bones begin to shake
The ride is over
This is my purpose and my fate
This is my stop I can't be late
Don't seek, you'll never find me
But I left a path behind me
Promise me you'll follow it someday
I am prepared now
This is destiny
Yet I am scared now
Witness my doom
I feel my bones begin to shake
The ride is over
This is my purpose and my fate
This is my stop I can't be late
Don't seek, you'll never find me
But I left a path behind me
Promise me you'll follow it someday

You Are Here
07:26

Out of the way
In a corner of space
Beyond the asteroid belt
On a satellite base, facing
A rumbling din
Of cosmic radiation
With a bottle of gin
No signals coming in
And it's a long night
While we wait for a sound, telling us
Yeah, we are here
Just like you’d hoped
So shed all the fears
You've ever known
Home is speck
Suspended in a sunbeam
So where the hell are we
Suspended animation
For a signal I guess
We're infinitely patient
Or prisoners of belief
Someone will come to
Save us
From this prison, from this hell
Of our making
And it’s getting hard to tell
If something’s in that
Cold night
Where we wait for a sound telling us
Yeah, we are here
Just like you’d hoped
So shed all the fears
You've ever known
The galaxy is alive and
You are not alone
So come on home
So fragile
The optimist’s eye
On this future
Desperately we bet our fate
Will be something better than what we create
Maybe
It’ll be okay
Cowards, we wait
For someone to come save us
With both feet on the bottom
We curl into a ball and drown
Together we decide
To fight or wait to die
I long to
See
You are here
Just like we hoped
We shed all the fears
We’ve come to know
The galaxy is alive and
You are not alone
So come and
Worship
At the pillars of the world
Unshakeable
And temporary
There's nothing more
To save us from the swirling sands of time
We must find our own way out
