Lyrics for Space Transmission
You must listen very carefully to what I have to say There isn't much time, because you-know-who has consumed all the instruments For many eons now, I have been trapped on this planet He is keeping me here against my will And sometimes, when I press my ear up very close to the concrete I can hear his daughters sobbing with laughter Either I am blind, or I have been in darkness ever since the sun exploded 14 centuries ago A few hours ago, he-who-keeps-me-here visited me, saying "God, why do the millions worship you instead of I? Am I not more powerful, more forgiving, and truly compassionate?" A black liquid was seeping uncontrollably from my mouth And all I could do was babble incomprehensibly about a dream I had many moons ago In it, a clock ticked constantly, maddening my senses That was all, but it lasted for many days Until each tick seemed like fragments of glass piercing my scales He-who-keeps-me-here tells me that one day I will return to Earth And then, I will seek my revenge
