The Prison Planet

Even just a taste could awaken salvation
Humming in my brain the dehydrated tongue
Other than the flames what gives you the right to complain
That the Earth is out of date as it reaches for the sun
Funny what a waste when the dollar sign's defaced
Suddenly the taste is stripped beyond despair
Funny how the habitat devolves into a smoking act
The path to salvation is a breath of fresh air
Feel the flame 'cause liberty is on the brightest shore
Fuel the flame and infiltrate manifest destiny
Feel the flame 'cause liberty is on the brightest shore
Fuel the flame and infiltrate manifest destiny
Feel the flame 'cause liberty is on the brightest shore
Fuel the flame and infiltrate manifest destiny
Feel the flame 'cause liberty is on the brightest shore
Fuel the flame and infiltrate manifest destiny
Out in the solar system
Searching for the next industrial haven
Chained to this prison planet
Where The American Dream spontaneously vanished
Out in the solar system
(Out over the horizon)
(Good fortune is waiting for you)
Searching for the next industrial haven
Chained to this prison planet
(The sun disappears with a token)
(But this bondage can never be broken)
Where The American Dream spontaneously vanished
Forced into suffocation
(Hear the impending explosion)
(A once in a lifetime promotion)
Abandoned by the chosen for a luxury vacation
250,000 years our species has resided here
This is day one of the next evolution

The Valerian Pilgrimage
06:47
|

|
Hurling through the tundras of space
Does one great mind eclipse that of many?
When the prosperous have commodified humanity
The earth will be quick to consume
Always salivating for more
If the politics and dogma is all you eat
Suddenly it becomes your universe
Generation after generation consumes and reproduces
Catastrophically faster than the generation that came before
The survival of the fittest has been lost
In a sea of unexceptional chromosomes
But The Order has made short work of that
The Order is supreme in it's illustrious acquisitions
In it's power and divinity
It's allegiance to the dark
The order has compiled it's wealth to contract a state of the art
Interstellar electrogravitic craft
To transport it's members to their new home
And destruction
Valerius 6
Reborn in the glow of their fearless leader
Chancellor Midas
Law doesn't intimidate my morality
Most of which I secede
If we see 'em lost in banality
The chains must set them free
Pause the course of human history
The ink of the scrolls now bleed
Distinguish the smokestacks of industry
The universe is your steed
The god immerses his hand in the planet he crowned
The god builds brick by brick an antidote to heal the sick
And the damned saved by his dazed divinity
The god builds us a fortress where industry's safe
We play with the idols of oil that we made
Builds us a fortress where industry's safe
We play with the idols of oil that we made
Now my life is so utopian in his grace
The absent carcinogens of this place
His face in every line as the starscrapers we design
Parade the new paradigm
The god seizes the form of the temple he sees
In his psychic eminence lies our reprieve
The god shadows our dreams
Devours our sleep
And when we wake we speak
In tongue his word of divinity

The Progeny of Midas
07:56
|
|||
|
Driven by a mixture of Ambiene and sedatives
Distant from the year when the chosen dropped the landing gear
Distant from their place of birth
Distant from the casualties of Earth
Shielded by a priestess the progeny of Midas
My bloodline of tyranny a genome I obtained
A demigod or something worse
A product of the casualties of Earth
Even just a taste could awaken the salvation
History I face is a plague for the home
The suspicions of this place are held inside a gold case
Treason grants you the liberty bell tone
Stealthily sedate
(The temple guard's condition)
Creep through the back gate
(The symbolism forms)
Hope it's a campaign
(Of paranoid derision)
Truth can be so dangerous when Midas is your father
Born in the house of Midas
A priestess ordained me with the name of Pya
Devout to the almighty
But that title has been stripped of it's significance
Of it's innocence
Of it's prestige
In my trembling hands lies a blueprint
The design of earth's guillotine
In the other the signet diadem of our father
In the path of earth's detriment
Does one vacuous mind eclipse that of many?
Memories suddenly rain
Visions offer the blame
And all the futile prisoners storm the gothic gate
But the prosperous have Eden in their sight
What good is a shangri-la when less than half survive
Now my life is so dystopian in his grave
We exist to apprehend and enslave the native race
Theft embraced
So another planet meets its end
Time to retreat and condemn the less fortunate
I promote the cavalry's descent
To invigorate the departed's revenge
