1. The Alien (9:32)
Look beyond the Earth, heading set for the stars
Interplanetary, some are near, some are far
Terraform a new world, survival for mankind
Options but a few, we are running out of time
Should you climb aboard
A voyage, the first of its kind
Ready to explore
All that you've known left behind
Our Holy Grail
Now redefined
Our purpose, a thread
Weaving through time
Now with the means to expand
Life beyond here, digital man
Alien, changed forever
New found world in the stars
Understand the meaning
Certain we'll extend the scale of consciousness
Woman, child and man
Multi planet species out amongst the stars
Not stuck in and around who and what we are
Time to climb aboard
Countdown to takeoff on time
Systems are online (5, 4, 3, 2)
Farewell to all humankind (1)
Our Holy Grail
Clearly defined
Our purpose, a thread
Weaving through time
Now with the means to expand
Life beyond here
Digital man
Alien, changed forever
New found world, here we are
Our Holy Grail
Clearly defined
Our purpose a thread
Weaving through time
Now with the means to expand
Our Holy Grail
Read between the lines
One purpose, one thread
Weaving throughout time
Now with the means to expand
I am the alien
Out here in the stars
We'll search till we find
No matter how far
A far better world
For all human race
And beyond
Interplanetary, some are near, some are far
Terraform a new world, survival for mankind
Options but a few, we are running out of time
Should you climb aboard
A voyage, the first of its kind
Ready to explore
All that you've known left behind
Our Holy Grail
Now redefined
Our purpose, a thread
Weaving through time
Now with the means to expand
Life beyond here, digital man
Alien, changed forever
New found world in the stars
Understand the meaning
Certain we'll extend the scale of consciousness
Woman, child and man
Multi planet species out amongst the stars
Not stuck in and around who and what we are
Time to climb aboard
Countdown to takeoff on time
Systems are online (5, 4, 3, 2)
Farewell to all humankind (1)
Our Holy Grail
Clearly defined
Our purpose, a thread
Weaving through time
Now with the means to expand
Life beyond here
Digital man
Alien, changed forever
New found world, here we are
Our Holy Grail
Clearly defined
Our purpose a thread
Weaving through time
Now with the means to expand
Our Holy Grail
Read between the lines
One purpose, one thread
Weaving throughout time
Now with the means to expand
I am the alien
Out here in the stars
We'll search till we find
No matter how far
A far better world
For all human race
And beyond
