Complex Delirium Lyrics

I recall the heroes that came before
On a mission of knowledge and hope they were
No one had heard from them in years
That they had perished summed up our fears

But still, a spark remained within
To see the universe again
Beholding glory right there before me
And the majesty begins

Alert! Alarm! Pulled from reverie
Panels flashing lights before me
These instruments I can barely read
Seems we've met the enemy

The infection has spread, no way to save our friend
Soon he will be dead, does this mean we face our end?
I hear the crew lament, that vanished has their hope
It's hard not to commiserate, we are so far from home

This is your captain speaking, much aggrieved I am
The stories you've heard are true, no fear I have a plan
I can't accept the tragedy, I will guide us through
I think I know the astronomy, remind me again, what's this button do?

Passed through into energy, I know our hope is gone
Without our navigator I fear we are lost
Far beyond the black unending void of space
It seems to me our Captain's gone insane

Madness ends, gives way to sanity
(These visions entrance my state)
Panels flashing lights before me
(Could this mean the end? Is this our fate?)
These instruments I can barely read
(Like an alien riddle, unbeknownst to me)
Innocents from mortality I freed
(Seems to be we are the enemy)

Lodestone around my neck
Like the sailor in that old song
I won't, I can't forget
Just how it all went wrong

Like from a nightmare
It's so hard to stay awake

Activate particle accelerator
Must survive and satiate

Neutrino beam annihilates
Teeth bared grinning wide

Abject hunger in our eyes
Amid misfortune we shall thrive

In deafening silence
A case of sudden violence
Adrenaline begins to fade
Looks like mistakes were made

I think that they all know
What's done is done
You see, our stocks are low
The pillage has begun

Passed through into energy, I know our hope is gone
Without our navigator I fear we are lost
Far beyond the black unending void of space
It seems to me our Captain's gone insane

Madness ends, gives way to sanity
(These visions entrance my state)
Panels flashing lights before me
(Could this mean the end? Is this our fate?)
These instruments I can barely read
(Like an alien riddle, unbeknownst to me)
Innocents from mortality I freed
(Seems to be we are the enemy)
