A Universe Within : Nemesis
Les paroles
1. THE DISCOVERY
This room is empty, much like everything
A scope to escape and search for flaws
The solitude thats found within these walls
Is embraced by so very few souls
Keeping the time by when the stars align
So diligent is the quest for disproof
We are searching for another life
One that we can keep to prove our terms
This foolish sense of entitlement
No one can live forever, so they say
I prefer the stars in the sky
To the ones we've built down here
If we're meant to prosper then
Our ideals need to change now
(Stop living for the grave)
The quest for knowledge is not
Something that humans should mock
(Start living for yourself)
The idea we're alone is
Ludicrous to believe in
(Stop living for the grave)
The only heaven that should
Matter is one we can see
(Start living for yourself)
(Stop living for the grave)
What if we find what we're searching for
will it matter
And if we find nothing does it mean
That we are wrong
With every minute
Spent looking upward
We're getting closer
To our meaning
To finding something
That might replace this
Once great, outdated
World we live in
We've been searching for
A means to an end
I have spent my whole life
Searching, watching
Waiting for proof
My scope, my escape, my legacy
It's all over we've found our own
Another life source
Take this to the churches and show
Us where you went wrong
Can we stop these pointless disputes
Now that we're not alone
This "holy war" of attrition
On the search for truth
The time is here
To make our mark on
Not just this age
But eons to come
Implications of
This discovery
Means so much more
Than we imagined
Bring forth the
Men in uniform
The white coats
And camouflage
Let them know
That I'm not
Crazy
This planet
My keepsake
James deacon
What will they say now?
A longshot in hindsight
But look at how far we've come
We've found the proof that we needed
Could I have been so blind
Fallen star
This threat could mean the end
Irony
Could I have been so blind
Fallen star
Could I have been so blind
Nemesis
2. MISSION PARAMETERS
Destiny of a world uncertain
This man burdened by evidence
A secret pact among our elite
Many questions left to chance
Heavy the fate of earth weighs
Humanity hangs in check
Nemesis, our time is near
A plan to salvage the human race
What will become of them?
Left behind
How will we live with ourselves
It seems unfair
What will become of me?
Life bringer
How will I live with myself?
Life taker
Nuclear shuttle launch
Into space
We are the rescue ark
I hope
We have but one chance
Bring our men
Our troops
Back home
False peace
Thin veil
To save our race
Preserve the funds
End these pointless wars
Establish world peace
We have to act now
Right now
What makes me better than you
How do we have the right to decide who survives
Morals
This is our only option
Governmental Darwinism
How much
Has changed
So much for faith
1200 people
A brand new pilgrimage
A new world for some
A new hope, a new breed
For those left behind
Yet another failure
Of this darkened world
No answers provided
And what's left for me?
Can I survive
My name is end times
I've found real truth
Secrecy is held above all else
Lest the serfs discover what we've planned
Sickens me down to the core
Yet I know this is what's best
The margin of error is next to none
The parameters are all set in stone
I hope they forgive me
I hope they understand
Only one man aboard the ship
Left alone with just his thoughts
Is it possible for a lone
Human to bear that burden
What if it's me
How can I handle that pain
Will my duty
Outweigh my own heart
It's just not fair
Bureaucratic nonsense
Do nothing congress
A quick response
Blackwater on call
There isn't much time
Lleft on earth
This could have happened
Years ago
Destiny
It seems like we're in
A movie
The clock is ticking
For us all
Existence
When the time comes how will we tell
The whole world
How will we reveal the fate of
All mankind?
Delicate plans for the desperate
Who remain
Is it playing God to survive?
Time will tell
If we get a second chance
Will we better ourselves
Or will we piss it away
Like with everything else
Are we something worth saving?
How do we judge
It seems we are god
And I feel his pain
Secrecy is held above all else
Lest the serfs discover what we've planned
Sickens me down to the core
Yet I know this is what's best
The margin of error is next to none
The parameters are all set in stone
I hope they forgive me
I hope they understand
Conspiracies at their finest
Failure is not an option
Determination, iron will
It's our duty to survive
We will survive
At the cost of innocence
God bless the usa
Long live free will
Martyrdom
Martyrdom
Long live free will
I'm blessed with this duty
They've made me the head of our quest
Will I lead to glory
Or will I lead us to death
I will not fail you we will survive
You're left behind i will not forget
We're all afraid of our fate contrived
In stone and blood our peril's set
3. SURROGATE SAVIOR
I am the chosen
Destined for abandonment
Weary, distraught
My soul longing for answers
Family and friends
Bid farewell
An apparition will remain
I'm not of your faith
But I'll pray
Every ounce of strength
Will be used for your own benefit
Though my mind has been in the sky
My heart will forever belong to you
But I must go
I've been delivered my mission
The choice was never mine
Fate intervened
I bid farewell
Love is blind much like cruel intent
Please understand what is at stake
Not just me
Not just you
The entire planet
'Til death do us part remains true
I meant it
Be strong, be patient
I'll return
We will live
Our family will thrive
My scope's not as clear
But I will stay pure
I'm building our home
You must trust me
If I am to fail
Please remember
What I sacrificed to see you again
And while I'm gone
Just watch the stars
I will become
Enshrined in them
Forever your hero
The fate of mankind
Now rests with me
I'll give up everything
To keep you breathing
It's still not fair
That it's come to this
We're both alone
But I'll return soon
All I'm asking for is your word
To remain true
To leave me something on this planet worth saving
Preparing the ship
Preparing myself
Preparing for launch
Contingency plan
Solitary confinement
Detained in my mind
How am I going to cope?
Will she be waiting
Months to prepare
Is that enough?
What friends I do have here
All seem to understand
Secrets are safe with them
I hope they're safe with me
I've made mistakes
But I'll leave them behind
No time for remorse
No one's perfect
I don't wanna say my last goodbyes
Won't you wipe away the tears from your face
Can we enjoy our last precious moments
I might never see you again
I know that it's hard to stay assured
But I need you to remember these words
I will never give up or lose out hope
I will be the last pioneer
Now we're loading the ship
Bid farewell
I'm in my captain's chair
Wish me good luck
I'll return forever your hero
This capsule is my home
This mission cannot fail
4. CRONUS EXILE
Spiraling, immense force
One never gets over
The initial lift off
Zero g's
Red planet in sight
2 months, 2 months
Loneliness setting in
The night never ends
Staring out at infinity
A humbling sight
Will I be the last to see it
Radio interrupts my solitude
Periodically to check in for hope
I've provided all that I can for now
The first stop was a quick one, a failure
I had almost forgot
How this brand of confinement feels
I don't think a lifetime could prepare one
For this type of exile
Final descent
So few options and such little time left
My search presses on into the abyss
The great unknown will soon change its nickname
I can only hope it will be called home
Our time may now be up
And I'll spend our final days here
In a desolate vacuum devoid of
The few things that I hold dear
Final descent
One last shot, Saturn VI
A stone in my chest
Though the sands of time
If most disappear
I hope a grain lasts
The powers that conspire
To direct our course
Seem to be writing
My final pages
This leg of the voyage by far
Will prove to be the longest
Out of time to further explore
This hellish quest for home
Will my work be undone
Will this all be worthwhile
Research, my life's goal
Life, mankind's quest
I wonder if
I've wasted both
On the steps of infinity
A coin cast to the wishing well
Our options are now very thin
A literal shot into the dark
I still find myself thinking
The world may be better off
If I were to just sit back
And watch as it all crumbles
5. VOYAGER
I am feeling crushed by the weightlessness
Thank the starts that I'm finally here
The rush of exploration is (not sure)
By the presence of what lies ahead
I can hear the constellations plotting
Their voices louder than my own screams
Waking up to nothing
Waking up to static
Constant
Battle
To keep
Focus
If I'm lost then we're
All lost to this cause
I wonder why I
Wasted my last time here
Atlas couldn't handle
The weight of two worlds
Just what makes me stronger
I fear I'll collapse
Before I get
The chance to prove
We are not bound
By god's cruel hand
The mission statement
Endless borders
I miss the weather
I miss the trees
The only perk with
This pursuit
Of a life anew:
Delirium
Slow search
For liquid
Marches
To the end
This planet's
Going to
Be scoured
To its core
I envy those at home
I long for a sunrise
If i could turn back time
I'd ignore that star
What kind of life is it
If we condemn ourselves
To a fucking bubble
This place has lost its beauty
I wonder
What things are
Like for those on earth
The ones that
Know just how
Close we are to death
Monotonous
The same thoughts in my head
I'm ravenous
I may be all that's left
So little time
They yell in my ear
Transmission loud and clear
In a flash
Things can change
Like my moods these days
Stranded in
A Vacuum
Holding my own hand
Keep drilling
Keep your head up
Keep searching
Is all they're telling me to do
But if I
No longer care
About What
Happens to those stranded at home
Just what point
Does my voyage
Serve for you?
I'm irrational, I miss her
I'll succeed
It must happen
Our last hope
Depends upon these next few days
I still take the time
To gaze upward
Nemesis is still
Staring at me
Staring at us all
His eyes are huge
I lust to meet you
Arrive sooner.
(But) these weary eyes
Still see far!
No I have to keep on searching
Disillusioned thoughts must end
Perseverance and iron will
Ascending me through the stars
Persistence my only option
Anticipation my only drive
I will not fail you now
I promise you will
All - survive - but - me
At long last
The fruits of labor
Can now be shown
Transmission
Back to earth
Leave now
Exodus
Place my name with the greats
Of our existence
My family
Finally can come back to me.
It seems I was wrong.
His gaze:
Nemesis.
Our time, is now his
I am all alone.
My wife, my children
I will see no more.
The earth thanks to me
Is doomed.
My calculations were wrong
