lyrics

COMMANDER
How can this be?!
I can't believe...
Swallowed in flame
Yet still they breathe!

I have a plan
Bring me the head of the science branch

Scientist! Come forth! Rally your research team
The time has come to do what must be done
Let it be known, and so let no man sleep
Until the secret of the skin has been unsealed

(Keyboard solo: “What the Fire Divulged”)

SCIENTIST
Experiments have just confirmed
The flesh of the Annealid will never burn
Deep within their tissue we have uncovered
Some elements previously undiscovered

COMMANDER
How could we have been so blind
It's been right there in front of us th'entire time
Give me your hand child, look in my eye
Hear me now as I say
We must swear to do th'unpleasant things
That will lead us to solutions we've been striving to uncover
No place for questioning, we'll bring them in for medical attention
That's the red herring to fleece their crystalline flesh

SCIENTIST
We must not do this
COMMANDER
What other choice do we have?
SCIENTIST
They’ve a right to exist
COMMANDER
The only hope for earth-folk to defeat the heat is skin of the Annealids
SCIENTIST
These beings are alive
This is genocide!

COMMANDER
Nothing less than neverending blue skies, divined for us
By the power of the blue hide
We'll survive
