(Instrumental)

I am a space pirate, you know my name
Asteroid mining is a dangerous game
Imperial navy can't keep up my pace
Chasing a rock into Zhodani space

You heard about me in the frontier wars
Psionic menace carrying alien spores
A living legend in the asteroid mines
Outvoting tariffs and imperial fines
One - thousand credits is my humble price
Whether it's nickel, iron, stone or ice
Only the wayfaring patron would dare
A merchant cruiser, a skyway corsair

It's not a mineral that I seek here
High passage, low passage
Any way I'm outta here
I was born in colonies
On fringe worlds of the galaxy
Meanwhile in Zhodani space
Imperial flagships follow me!

Plotting a course by the Gas Giant's Sun
Outdated star - charts, provisions and guns
Locked in the Library Data by night
Approaching jump - 3 second engines ignite

Blinded and firing in uncharted space
Querion subsector star - maps erased

Enter the mining belt's vagabond trade
Coreward to Spinward both navies invade
Scattered directional asteroids fly
Shattering meteors, war - heads collide

Sandcasters broken, shields won't sustain
Waking on impact, a cold desert plane!

And now comes the time to make you one
Experiment's stage has just begun
In asteroid mines the spores are grown
Creating the race to rape you

On the day when my work is done
And the races become as one
Overlapping nucleotides
Double helix is genocide

Bisecting the strand, apply the stud
Amalgamate Man with Vargr blood
Creating the race to rape you

On the day when my work is done
And the races become as one
Overlapping nucleotides
Double helix is genocide
On the day when my work is through
And the cosmos becomes a zoo!

The Vargr Moon's at height
The sun that shines at night
I'm dead in the sand

The gene that drives the beast
Still rises in the east
Bisecting the strand

A caravan of thieves
Inhuman and diseased
I'm at their command

And so my fate is sealed
The Vargr plan's revealed
Dissection of man

Muscles twitch - incisions deep
Splice the gene - bisect the strand

I feel the x - rays on my brain
Dissection cannisters, alien's bane
I feel the x - rays on my cerebral cortex

Slowly growing canine teeth
Biting me out of the chains
Testing out the spores on me

The Vargr moon's at height
Escape's in route tonight
I'm leaving the sand

Revenge is what I seek
My mission's incomplete
Bisecting the strand!

With the merging of the races
In this lost society
We will claim the Spinward Marches
We will rule the galaxy
We are free

Though they once were our creators
Now we curse Humanity
From the race manipulations
To this dark obscurity
We'll be free

Cast out of a world, once we owned
Lust got in the way, race dethroned

From ancient major races
To the old Genetic Wars
Came the carnivores and chasers
Now they're scattered though the stars
Near and far

Now the secret is discovered
To our lost identity
We will infiltrate the cosmos
Our generic prophesy
We'll be free

Cast out of a world, once we owned
Once out in the fray, we'll be cloned

It's a God - given right
So we choose to defy you
The professor was right
It's a God - given right
Ceremonial gene - splicing
Into the master race

Under a Vargr moon fires still glistening
Back on the skywalks I'm not even listening


Cronor! Mora! Firgr! Glisten!

Bouncing off the stairs in the Querion Subsector
Armed and escaping this unholy vector I'm
Human! Vargr! Wretched! Doctor!

Into my body you've brought this disease
Master of adamite discoveries
Stronger than ever you thought I'd be

Now that you've forced me to live out your fantasies
I will deliver your test - tube and prophesy

Mutant! Hybrid! Canine! Biped!

Into your human blood, penance for all your sins
Now I'll give you a taste of your own medicine

Human! Vargr! Wretched! Doctor!

Stalking the world as this monstrosity
Mutated messenger, alien genes
Stronger than ever you thought I'd be

Of what can you accuse me?
Your anger test my patience
I did not wish this on you

Your madness is quite blatant

In all your anguish I can see you are an ideal patient
My work is not yet wasted, wait and see

My countenance disfigured
My human genes are latent
You brought this fate upon me
And all your work is wasted

In all this world I only wanted to be independent
Clearly your madness brought this curse on me
Wait and see!

Release the spores
All's lost and there's nothing gained
Your time is through
Chasing a worthless fate
Wasting your mind, rotting inside

All of the dreams for your life now have died
Alien mind, ancestral memories
Released in time
Progress and savagery
Scavenging waste, conquest in space
All of the memories of life gone to waste

First in a line
Heading towards mastery
Why waste your time?
Seeking out clemency
You're left behind
Body and mind
All those before you, just slaves to the grind

It's your God - given right
I suppose I would let you win!

Cast in the role of a pawn by this federation
Living the life of a drone
You could be king of this race that now stands before you
See that the future is sown

What will they think of this whole story?
Spreading the poison of a race gone mad
Look in my eyes, you can see that I'm one of them

Weakness is spreading like fire through this generation
Rendering races unknown
Mixing and matching in random experiments
And wait for results to unfold

What would I do with all that glory?
Leading the downfall of the race I've known
Look in my eyes, you can see my impurity

I will devour all the plans for your retribution
Ravaging races of old
Soon you will see me as lord of this master race
As bodies are cast in the mold

Why in the world should I be sorry?
My body's wasted but my mind lives on
For the last time, I will ask you to join my cause

What will they think of this whole story?
Spreading the madness of a tortured mind

Look in his eyes, you can see through his lies
You can see his delusion's real!

Imperial troops are coming
This may be our last chance
Professor's mind is numbing
As Vargr troops advance

And though your mind is restless
Don't waste it on the past
The Vargr moon is crescent
The future's theirs at last

The future's now becoming
A tribute to the past
The masses are succumbing
The race is merging fast

And though your mind is bitter
Don't give them what they want
Professor was a quitter
His methods far too blunt

And though your mind is restless
Don't waste it on the past
The Vargr moon is crescent
The future's ours at last

The curse of double helix
Brings only racial wars
And though you may not feel it
The air is filled with spores!

You thought you'd conquered space
But now your reign is through
Dissect the human race
Until they conquer you

Fame is now mine
Even though it's illusion
Space and now time
Has just reached its conclusion

2000 years ago
My race created you
We turned you loose in space
Now a polluted zoo

Fate is no crime
I can face this illusion
Space and now time
Has just reached its conclusion

Light years are passing before me I'll soon begin
Carnivores roam the stars all in the place of men
Singular manifestation of time

And as your kingdom falls
I've taken after you
You may have wished this on me
And now you see it through

Your time is rolling over
My time is coming soon
I'll resurrect the ancient spores
Eclipse the Vargr moon

Matter warps space
So now time is illusion
How can I face this miraculous conclusion?

Light years are passing before me I'll soon begin
Right from the start I can see you're an alien
Singular manifestation of time

Your stories do amuse me
Although your eyes are vacant
I did not wish this on you
Your madness is quite blatant
Inside your mind I see the source of your hallucinations
Your body's wasted but your brain's on fire

The future still looks grim now
The human race is wasted
But soon you must turn over
The power you have tasted
In all your mercy I can see you are an ideal agent
To bring this curse upon the galaxy
Wait and see

Light years are passing before me I'll soon begin
Carnivores roam the stars all in the place of man
Infinite manifestation of time!

(Instrumental)

Although you're locked away now
Inside your wretched lair
You'll find me nestled in your mind
My seeds are planted there
Could you not see me coming?

No more mercy
No more lies
We now control your mind

You cant escape my vision
Your conscience now becomes my guide
You thought you'd reached final frontiers
But they remain inside
Could you not see this coming?

No more mercy
No more lies
We now control your mind!
