lyrics

SCIENTIST
This was an opportunity
That I could not ignore
The dream of every scientist
To chart the unexplored

When we left the Earth to begin the search
For a way to heal our dying world
Through induced sleep dreams came to me
Of all the things that we might see

When I had opened my eyes
Such unbelievable sights
Beneath my feet there lay
Novae terrae

COMMANDER
Citizens! Fate hangs in the balance
We've dispatched space-crafts to charter other planets
There's no other hope, the Earth is expiring
The Scientists are called to divulge all their findings

No stone unturned, no thing left to chance
The answer's out here in the great expanse

ANNEALID
We watched as they came
Earth ships descending
Should we be afraid?
Or do they come in peace?

SCIENTIST
We spent months digging in the frozen ground
Without any answers to be found
Until the day I heard a sound
And saw it there when I turned around
It stared at me, it seemed to grin
Neon veins beneath a crystalline skin
Like the bioluminescence of a deep-sea squid
We called them the Annealids

They showed us how they communicate
They flooded words into our minds
We asked them back to Earth with us
They trusted us, we seemed so kind

We bragged of our hospitality
Boasting with such Earthly pride
Looking back, now I see
Shamefully, that we had lied
