Proof from above
One that has traveled for billions of years
Transmitted at the epoch when
The universe was still young
And the galaxies fewer
Than what they are today

Deciphered
Universal numerical code
Interpreted
Uncertain what the meaning was from the start
Chaos and turmoil
The instant revelation of a single fact

Dethronement of mundane rulers
Collapse of the way
That local intelligence organized

Smash with a stone
The skull of the man
Who stands in the path
Between you and the stars

Smash with a stone
The skull of the man
Who stands in the path
Between you and the stars

Stargazing and violence
Stargazing and violence

Evolved life form
Of capable intelligence
Is chained, forced to slave labor
By its natal planets tyrants

Each time it stood on its feet
Raising his head
To look at the night sky
The collar nails sinked deep

Punish them for their impertinence
Replacing science with mythology
Whip them in public
Then hang them and let them rot

Stargazing and violence
We have to
Bend the fabric
And open the gates

Bend the fabric
Open the gates
Stargazing and violence

Bend the fabric
Open the gates
Bend the fabric
Open the gates

Thrown to the hungry
And hanged upon their teeth

I'll drag us through
These years
I'll carry us through
These homes
As teeth snap at our necks

(From all sides)
Thrown to the wolves

Please hold my hand
You'll need to be strong
Let me bleed
The trail will be mine
Let them feed
The flesh will be mine

You've got to save your strength
