Fly The circumstance we’re in is vexatious Angiosperms and ferns in our faces This appears to be the late cretaceous Three toed tracks ahead seem predacious It’s a t-rex It’s a t-rex What are we going to Just keep running Just keep running Just keep running Run, run, run, run, run, run, run Deeper, we run deeper Into the woods, we run deeper And we find And we find And we find And we find Hope You were chosen to be here with us Learn to be Guardians to help save us The cosmic eye unlocks the power in us Fly Fly Fly Fly There’s a simple beauty looking down, flying over the world But there were many trials ahead Much to learn, much to know Wisdom gained Take them to the chamber The Stakslees were our guide Peace to be found, war to be waged Power gained Take them to the chamber Starring into the Cosmic Gem Starring into the Cosmic Gem Starring into the Cosmic Gem Starring into the Cosmic Gem And we begin to take flight We learn to Fly We learn to Fly We learn to Fly We learn to Fly We’ve learned to fly now We’ve learned to fly now Soaring over The Pacific Ocean in the late cretaceous isn’t it beautiful Thinking over The conflict at hand have we prepared everything to be successful They told us the stakes the whole universe could end Back to the future we must save the universe Begin the flight of the Quetzalcoatlus Back to the future we must save the universe Begin the flight of the Quetzalcoatlus Back to the future we must save the universe Begin the flight of the Quetzalcoatlus Back to the future we must save the universe Begin the flight of the Quetzalcoatlus

Back from the past In orbit we look down on The Earth and see the beauty in calamity Now is the time Stand up and fight Now is the time Now is the time, stand up and fight We must come together as one Now is the time, stand up and fight Those that can’t, fight in space, I will send, back to Earth All the rest, we must go, we must save, everything We must travel to the very edge and join the Celestial Cetaceans to keep chaos in his prison to save the universe We must travel to the very edge and join the Celestial Cetaceans to keep chaos in his prison to save the universe And we travel to the edge To save the universe To save the universe Prepare for arrival As we approach all goes quiet as we prepare to fight Go, Go and attack, go and attack, go and attack If we don’t win here, we’re all dead and all existence will come to end If we don’t win here, we’re all dead and all existence will come to end We will win this fight

Intergalactic, intergalactic, intergalactic war Watching them gather Travel through space Preparing to fight Protecting each other Going to battle A magnificent sight Meeting with allies No reinforcements A terrible plight Beings of power Beings of prowess Proving their might Two wars start at different times but at the same moment Travel back in time we must prepare for our opponent Strike their forces back in time to control their numbers The actions that we take now will determine the fate of the universe War has spread to all and is heartless Only hope remains in this darkness War has spread to all and is heartless Only hope remains in this darkness Hurry now we must leave Earth Those that Slay will stay with these two If we don’t leave right now all may be lost Hold on now who are you What is this plan and how did we get here Last we were in the Cretaceous There’s no time now you have to trust me This is why they trained you I brought you back once you were ready To help in this conflict I’ll explain more on the way We must travel with Whales We must stop Vampira, her minions, the cosmic squid forces Focus on stopping them from unleashing Chaos Focus on Chaos and Vampira Begin attack Escalate Engage all forces Don’t relent Give your all Your actions matter Strong together Work as one Fight for all life War has spread to all and is heartless Only hope remains in this darkness Fight for all life Intergalactic, intergalactic, intergalactic war

You can’t smell death in space You can’t hear screams But you can see pain And taste blood The battle rages on Past a legion of cosmic squid Lies one that should not be The destroyer of my adopted home world My vengeance has been undone I killed you once And I’ll kill you again I’ll have your head in my hand Slash Crush Gouge Tear Smash Cleave Gore Thrash Kill I killed you once And I’ll kill you again I’ll have your head in my hand Slash Crush Gouge Tear Killing my way to vengeance nothing will stand in my way Instinct takes over the Call of the Squirrel The Death Machine’s here to slay Over and over we meet it always ends the same way I’ve killed you; I’ll kill you, doesn’t matter anyway Sentient squirrel death machine Originating from the Eocene We all bow before his might He’ll take you all down yea He will bring you the fight oh yea Sentient squirrel death machine Bringing on doom and the obscene He will take your skull and puncture it Draining the fluid for his supplement oh yea Take note of your position We are all pons in this war Pending your submission An unkindness at your door Sentient Squirrel Death Machine Sentient Squirrel Death Machine Sentient Squirrel Death Machine Sentient Squirrel Death Machine

I’m going to be free Keep fighting Keep pushing Keep trying To free me Soon now It will open I am evil I am nothing All power Half complete My thoughts empty Void desire Single focus To be free And when I am free You will all suffer the end of everything Keep fighting Keep pushing Keep trying We must win We must stop her Get to the turret Keep Chaos imprisoned It’s open, spacetime has torn and Chaos will come and end everything It’s open, spacetime has torn and Chaos will come and end everything There’s no hope, all is lost, the end is near It’s open, spacetime has torn and Chaos will come and end everything There’s no hope, all is lost, the end is near, we’re all dead and so is the universe He’s free, we’re dead He’s free, we’re dead He’s free, we’re dead He’s free, we’re dead Don’t just give up now Hold on hope don’t disavow The end we can’t allow A way to win we’ll find somehow Unleashing Chaos One by one I’ll kill you all Before I end the universe It’s your end, it’s the end The last phrase in this verse The universe is dead The universe is dead The universe is dead The universe is dead It’s open, spacetime has torn and Chaos will come and end everything There’s no hope, all is lost, the end is near, we’re all dead and so is the universe It’s open, spacetime has torn and Chaos will come and end everything There’s no hope, all is lost, the end is near We’re All Dead

Awake Awake Awake I have brought you here to tell you what your purpose is The end was not but the beginning as you’ll see from here Wait, what is this The universe had ended but now I am here Alone in the dark Alone in the dark I can’t feel my body But now I am here You will understand let me explain When I created you, I made it so that you could travel through time and fracture reality You were made to be the reason why a multiverse can be created from this great finality You mean everything to the future of life, existence, and all eventuality It’s your destiny to take my power and accept this great responsibility It’s my destiny to take your power What does this mean What does this mean I fear you’re avoiding the whole truth Will this kill you Will this kill you I don’t wish for that, no My end draws near, my power and my knowledge given to create something greater than what ended here Your path will clear, beyond the alpha and omega go, and you will find the means that you will need out there Slowly his power grows Knowledge is power but not experience Eons of failure with vacuum genesis But one thing to master to bring back the friends I miss A universe gone I can create anything I will create everything Creating the multiverse Big bang Stars Planets Life

Something’s out there beyond Something’s been watching Something’s been growing Something’s been there Out past space Something’s been hiding Something’s been plotting Something not here Out past space Growing Plotting What are these things between Not here, not there, not seen Again, now evil finds us and plots against us We rest not knowing of the threat to us now We stand ready as Guardians at all time Something unknown We are the Guardians we will protect all What are these things between Not here, not there, not seen Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love (Quote Carl Sagan) Something’s out there beyond Again, now evil finds us and plots against us We rest not knowing of the threat to us now We stand ready as Guardians at all time

Call to the Guardians Trouble is at hand A universe ripped open We’ve got to make a stand Ripped Open Universe Grab below the Planck scale Grasp around the strings Tear open spacetime He let in those things Those things not here Those things not there Not to be seen But to beware Beware their coming Let loose on us now Approaching the anomaly We can see the tear Something is escaping That shouldn’t be there What could have done this Where does this go What was that thing we saw Is it our foe A steady stream of energy Now begins to flow The time has come to end this Before it can grow He has opened hell onto you With the cape that he wields He has opened hell onto you With the cape that he wields Rip through the multiverse Not knowing what you do All the other things between You’re letting them through They feed on energy They feed on worlds Someone has to stop them Before they shred more Shred more life They’re shredding us now Ripped open universes, destroyed worlds Ravaged by the things between, Hell has been unfurled Expanding their domain, consuming all Transforming energy, states of matter fall Ripped Open Universe Shredding the cosmos
