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

Contemporary Calamity

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 War!
05:25
|
|||
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

Guard
All
Life
You’re now guardians of everything
You’ll protect the multiverse with me
We are keepers of life’s beauty
In darkest night, we provide the light
No evil shall escape our sight
In darkest night, we provide the light
Beware our righteous might
I have brought you here to the Phoenix Nebula
To explain our universe is gone but our worlds will be recreated
Stand with me here at the alpha and the omega
And watch as the multiverse is generated
Look to the stars
For hope burns bright
When all seems lost
We’ll join the fight
Look to the stars
For hope burns bright
When all seems lost
We’ll join the fight
We protect the multiverse and all of its inhabitants
We are the Guardians of everything in the multiverse
We protect the multiverse and all of its inhabitants
We are the Guardians of the Multiverse
We’re back
How could this be
All had ended
We’re back
All our lives back
All our worlds back
All of time back
All had ended
What did happen
Had to happen
To keep life
In darkest night, we provide the light
No evil shall escape our sight
In darkest night, we provide the light
Beware our righteous might
We protect the multiverse and all of its inhabitants
We are the Guardians of everything in the multiverse
We protect the multiverse and all of its inhabitants
We are the Guardians of the Multiverse
You’re now guardians of everything
You’ll protect the multiverse with me
We are keepers of life’s beauty

The Latent Threat
04:57
|

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
