This room is empty, much like everything A scope to escape and search for flaws The solitude thats found within these walls Is embraced by so very few souls Keeping the time by when the stars align So diligent is the quest for disproof We are searching for another life One that we can keep to prove our terms This foolish sense of entitlement No one can live forever, so they say I prefer the stars in the sky To the ones we've built down here If we're meant to prosper then Our ideals need to change now (Stop living for the grave) The quest for knowledge is not Something that humans should mock (Start living for yourself) The idea we're alone is Ludicrous to believe in (Stop living for the grave) The only heaven that should Matter is one we can see (Start living for yourself) (Stop living for the grave) What if we find what we're searching for will it matter And if we find nothing does it mean That we are wrong With every minute Spent looking upward We're getting closer To our meaning To finding something That might replace this Once great, outdated World we live in We've been searching for a means to an end I have spent my whole life Searching, watching Waiting for proof My scope, my escape, my legacy It's all over we've found our own Another life source Take this to the churches and show us where you went wrong Can we stop these pointless disputes Now that we're not alone This "Holy War" of attrition On the search for truth The time is here To make our mark on Not just this age But eons to come Implications of This discovery Means so much more Than we imagined Bring forth the Men in uniform The white coats and camouflage Let them know that I'm not Crazy This planet My keepsake James Deacon What will they say now? A longshot in hindsight But look at how far we've come We've found the proof that we needed Could I have been so blind Fallen Star This threat could mean the end Irony Could I have been so blind Fallen Star Could I have been so blind Nemesis

Destiny of a world uncertain This man burdened by evidence A secret pact among our elite Many questions left to chance Heavy the fate of earth weighs Humanity hangs in check Nemesis, our time is near A plan to salvage the human race What will become of them? left behind How will we live with ourselves It seems unfair What will become of me? life bringer How will I live with myself? life taker Nuclear shuttle launch Into space We are the rescue ark I hope We have but one chance Bring our men our troops back home false peace thin veil To save our race Preserve the funds End these pointless wars Establish world peace We have to act now Right now What makes me better than you How do we have the right to decide who survives morals This is our only option governmental Darwinism how much has changed so much for faith 1200 people A brand new pilgrimage A new world for some A new hope, a new breed For those left behind Yet another failure of this darkened world no answers provided And what's left for me? Can I survive My name is end times I've found real truth Secrecy is held above all else Lest the serfs discover what we've planned Sickens me down to the core Yet I know this is what's best The margin of error is next to none The parameters are all set in stone I hope they forgive me I hope they understand Only one man aboard the ship Left alone with just his thoughts Is it possible for a lone human to bear that burden What if it's me How can I handle that pain Will my duty outweigh my own heart It's just not fair Bureaucratic nonsense Do nothing Congress A quick response Blackwater on call There isn't much time left on Earth This could have happened years ago Destiny It seems like we're in a movie The clock is ticking for us all Existence When the time comes how will we tell the whole world How will we reveal the fate of all mankind? Delicate plans for the desperate who remain Is it playing God to survive? Time will tell If we get a second chance Will we better ourselves Or will we piss it away Like with everything else Are we something worth saving? How do we judge It seems we are God And I feel His pain Secrecy is held above all else Lest the serfs discover what we've planned Sickens me down to the core Yet I know this is what's best The margin of error is next to none The parameters are all set in stone I hope they forgive me I hope they understand Conspiracies at their finest Failure is not an option Determination, Iron will It's our duty to survive We will survive At the cost of innocence God bless the USA Long live free will Martyrdom martyrdom Long live free will I'm blessed with this duty They've made me the head of our quest Will I lead to Glory Or will I lead us to death I will not fail you we will survive You're left behind i will not forget We're all afraid of our fate contrived In stone and blood our peril's set

I am the chosen Destined for abandonment Weary, distraught My soul longing for answers Family and friends Bid farewell An apparition will remain I'm not of your faith But I'll pray Every ounce of strength Will be used for your own benefit Though my mind has been in the sky My heart will forever belong to you But I must go I've been delivered my mission The choice was never mine Fate intervened I bid farewell Love is blind much like cruel intent Please understand what is at stake Not just me Not just you The entire planet 'Til death do us part remains true I meant it Be strong, be patient I'll return We will live Our family will thrive My scope's not as clear But I will stay pure I'm building our home You must trust me If I am to fail Please remember What I sacrificed to see you again And while I'm gone Just watch the stars I will become Enshrined in them Forever your hero The fate of mankind Now rests with me I'll give up everything To keep you breathing It's still not fair That it's come to this We're both alone But I'll return soon All I'm asking for is your word To remain true To leave me something on this planet worth saving Preparing the ship Preparing myself Preparing for launch Contingency plan Solitary confinement Detained in my mind How am I going to cope? Will she be waiting Months to prepare Is that enough? What friends I do have here All seem to understand Secrets are safe with them I hope they're safe with me I've made mistakes But I'll leave them behind No time for remorse No one's perfect I don't wanna say my last goodbyes Won't you wipe away the tears from your face Can we enjoy our last precious moments I might never see you again I know that it's hard to stay assured But I need you to remember these words I will never give up or lose out hope I will be the last pioneer Now we're loading the ship Bid farewell I'm in my captain's chair Wish me good luck I'll return forever your hero This capsule is my home This mission cannot fail

Spiraling, immense force One never gets over The initial lift off Zero G's Red planet in sight 2 months, 2 months Loneliness setting in The night never ends Staring out at infinity A humbling sight Will I be the last to see it Radio interrupts my solitude Periodically to check in for hope I've provided all that I can for now The first stop was a quick one, a failure I had almost forgot How this brand of confinement feels I don't think a lifetime could prepare one For this type of exile Final Descent So few options and such little time left My search presses on into the abyss The great unknown will soon change its nickname I can only hope it will be called home Our time may now be up And I'll spend our final days here In a desolate vacuum devoid of The few things that I hold dear Final Descent One last shot, Saturn VI A stone in my chest Though the sands of time If most disappear I hope a grain lasts The powers that conspire To direct our course Seem to be writing My final pages This leg of the voyage by far Will prove to be the longest Out of time to further explore This hellish quest for home Will my work be undone Will this all be worthwhile Research, my life's goal Life, mankind's quest I wonder if I've wasted both On the steps of infinity A coin cast to the wishing well Our options are now very thin A literal shot into the dark I still find myself thinking The world may be better off If I were to just sit back And watch as it all crumbles

I am feeling crushed by the weightlessness Thank the starts that I'm finally here The rush of exploration is (not sure) By the presence of what lies ahead I can hear the constellations plotting Their voices louder than my own screams Waking up to nothing Waking up to static Constant Battle To Keep Focus If I'm lost then we're all lost to this cause I wonder why I Wasted my last time here Atlas couldn't handle The weight of two worlds Just what makes me stronger I fear I'll collapse Before I get The chance to prove We are not bound By god's cruel hand The mission statement Endless borders I miss the weather I miss the trees The only perk with This pursuit of a life anew: Delirium Slow search for liquid Marches to the end This planet's Going to Be scoured To its core I envy those at home I long for a sunrise If i could turn back time I'd ignore that star What kind of life is it If we condemn ourselves To a fucking bubble This place has lost its beauty I wonder What things are Like for those on earth The ones that Know just how Close we are to death Monotonous The same thoughts in my head I'm ravenous I may be all that's left So Little Time They yell in my ear Transmission loud and clear In a flash Things can change Like my moods these days Stranded in A Vacuum Holding my own hand Keep drilling Keep your head up Keep searching Is all they're telling me to do But if I No longer care About What Happens to those stranded at home Just what point Does my voyage Serve for you? I'm irrational, I miss her I'll succeed It must happen Our last hope Depends upon these next few days I still take the time To gaze upward Nemesis is still staring at me staring at us all His eyes are huge I lust to meet you Arrive sooner. (but) These weary eyes Still see far! No I have to keep on searching Disillusioned thoughts must end Perseverance and iron will Ascending me through the stars Persistence my only option Anticipation my only drive I will not fail you now I promise you will all- survive-BUT-ME At Long last The Fruits of Labor Can now be shown Transmission Back to Earth Leave now Exodus Place my name with the Greats Of our existence My family Finally can come back to me. It seems I was wrong. His gaze: Nemesis. Our time, is now his I am all alone. My wife, my children I will see no more. The Earth thanks to me Is Doomed. My calculations were wrong.
