Chapter II: The Captain
--------------------------------

All aboard, the ticket master calls. Watch your step boy, it’s a long long way to fall. Here he comes– the answer to our calls.

He’s a magical mystery man with a cure for perceptions across the land. There’s a pill for whatever you planned.

Captain man- won’t anybody see the way he’s taking over? We’re inside out and back to front so lead the way and captain, come save me.

Sailor man guide us through this storm. Back to the womb where we can be reborn. Been a little bit lonely since we met you; since we took our innocence and traded up for the state. Never really got a chance to thank you so instead we’ll look the other way.

Long live this man on all our screens; thankyou sir. You won’t last long without his say so.

‘cause I’ve been to see the rabbits on the other side and they said to me, “we see through you, don’t even try to pass it off as not your plan. You’re guilty all, of where you stand. Your one and four add up to three; you traded for security. You’d think you’d learn from your mistakes but here you are back round again. So just relax- they’ll plug you in. And then this great machine can begin.”

Bow down before the fires of our rebirth. This king’s no more- look upon your new god.

Not that it matters (*), but I'd usually take my prog a tad more metal. The cheer brillance and boldness here makes it up for it. (*) It does matter. It might convince other metalheads to give it a try. Also, don't depreciate yourself, unless it is for a joke. -- What? But my life is a joke! Infernal is more convoluted than this note, and far more beautifully written. unidual

The Second Brightest Star

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
