lyrics

We came from the stars
An ancient civilisation, the remnants of a pure race
The wanderers of the universe through time and space
Chained down by gravity, entombed in flesh and bone
Hidden in the back of the mind
Extracted through imagination
We are waiting
We will bring down this planet, erase mankind
Fall into a mysterious trance where distant lights and colours become yours to command
Open your third eye and break the cycle
We dream of paradise
On Asteroids, we have soared across the galaxy to bring a message
We need to start again, we are trapped in God's program with no escape
Break the cycle
Look inside your soul - all this hatred you possess will swallow you whole
Embrace the end and set your conscience free
As your soul floats away into infinite space
We hold the universe in our hands
We will take control
We hold the universe in our hands
We will take control
These planets are ours; we are living stardust – one with the Earth
You search for hope but will never find it
When will you learn your home is in your heart?
Nothing remains but a memory
A mental hologram; an illusion of peace on Earth.
You search for hope but will never find it
Everything has its time
Everything slowly dies
