1. SPUTNIK

Today a new moon is in the sky: a 23-inch metal sphere placed in orbit by a Russian rocket. Here an artist's conception of how the feat was accomplished - a three-stage rocket. Number one, the booster in the class of an intercontinental missile; its weight estimated at 50 tons. A smaller second-stage took over at 5,000 miles-an-hour and carried on to the highest point reached. Five hundred miles up, the artificial moon is boosted to a speed counterbalancing the pull of gravity and released.

Iron head, iron spears
Spread out from sides away
Shiny globe without fears
Flies over skies again

Soviet star first of all
Was in the boundless space
But what if it's sign of call
The first assigned phrase?

Sputnik, Sputnik
The signal from the other ones
Sputnik, Sputnik
They hadn't any red stars
Sputnik, Sputnik
The greetings from above
Sputnik, Sputnik
Alien tapering throw

Iron blades, iron grim
They're now awaiting us
Shining alien warrior trim
Or maybe they're amidst us

Poor primates, prepare to lay
They need our planet's air
For thousand years you'll be a clay
For those years here's their lair

Sputnik, Sputnik
The signal from the other ones
Sputnik, Sputnik
They hadn't any red stars
Sputnik, Sputnik
The greetings from above
Sputnik, Sputnik
Alien tapering throw

Earth people, look upside and you'll see
They are here


2. FIREBIRD

The sky is crushing above our mindless heads
The star falls over snowy meads
Near-dead messiah from planet number four
Lies near the capsule that is torn

He will bring us to the skies
And grounds untouched for so many years
He is the child of greatest lies
There is the life on Mars, I know, I hear it there
I feel, believe

His name is Yuri, he's born as the last hope
The sole alive which truth reveals
He knows the secret like gorgeous firebird
The home is what in your heart lives

He will bring us to the skies
And grounds untouched for so many years
He is the child of greatest life
There is the life on Mars, I know
Why don't you still believe


3. MIND THE PAST

(Sweet mother, sweet mother
Send my child up to me
For the sins of the not worthy
Must be baptized in blood and fear)

Sweet mother, sweet mother
Send your child up to me
For the sins of the unworthy
Must be baptized in blood and fear

Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall back that night
You rendered me flowers of life
I couldn't deny

So why are you so cold today?
Why are you so numb?
Just say what destroys our knot
I'll just give a try

I am your cover
And you're my core
It is proclaimed for us to be
An organic whole, that's all

Reverse your emotions today
We caught in a book
The book of some similar ways
Which other men took

Respawn all the feelings again
We grew up inside
Embrace your tomorrows with me
I'm sure I am right

I am your cover
And you're my core
It is proclaimed for us to be
An organic whole, that's all

I am your cover
And you're my core
It is proclaimed for us to be
An organic whole, that's all

I am your cover
And you're my core
It is proclaimed for us to be
An organic whole, that's all


4. PLANET WAR

Rivers and oceans dried up, all is red
Children were playing, they're fighting instead (But soon...)
Battle of clans puts an end, settles scores
No one survives in this war of the wars
Inevitability

(Die I, die you, die us) Die you, die us
(We've been deceived, alas)
Cut others' heads (Let's cut each others' heads)
End of the reds (Overture of dead reds)

My planet, my people, our wondrous sins
This day we'll pray, but all sink in oblivion
Killed by ourselves, what an ironic fate
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/ignea/sputnik/planet-war.html]
Wish I could stop awful war, who prevents although
Inevitability?

(Die I, die you, die us) Die you, die us
(We've been deceived, alas)
Played cruel game (Creation played cruel game)
Laugh so insane (Apocalypse laughs so insane)

Hush, crimson creature, don't waste igneous tears
This is the deal only of million years

One day the third planet's people will seek
Remnants of life on Barsoom, I can feel it
One day the third planet seek...
(Welcome to Planet War)
