Enceladus 03:17
You're as cold as Enceladus There's no room in your heart for heat You flew above this mortal dust There's no space in your life for me You're as cold as Enceladus Your fingers freeze my tender skin You gave into this human lust You've embraced the deadly sin Your eyes are a vacuum Light cannot escape their gravity You've chosen to be untrue And there's no hope left in the galaxy You're as cold as Enceladus You turned your back on my embrace You abandoned our sacred trust And now you're lost to blackened space

We have flown the warp of space, beyond the walls of time At the edge of the unknown we begin our reckless climb We shall seek whatever lies on the other side Beyond the Black Galaxy Beyond the Black Galaxy We are well prepared, we are ready to explore Our minds are crystal clear, our hearts are clean and pure Legends say no one returns from the other side Beyond the Black Galaxy Beyond the Black Galaxy We have flow the warp of space, beyond the walls of time At the edge of the unknown we begin our reckless climb We shall seek whatever lies inside the human mind Beyond the Black Galaxy Beyond the Black Galaxy

The jungle cries of birds and beasts Here the sun sets in the east Force screens all that stand between us You and me and the beasts of Venus Exiled here because of love Imprisoned with no moon above Only our thoughts and words to feed us You and me and the beasts of Venus Machines of Earth outlawed emotion We were damned by our devotion A poetic hell meant to demean us You and me and the beasts of Venus We cannot touch, we cannot see A torturous proximity Cold logic designed to wean us You and me and the beasts of Venus You and I are the beasts of Venus

My heart's as heavy as U-238 The fallout rays keep on streaming down There's no lead parasol for this lonesome doll Only nuclear nightmares on the edge of town My heart's as heavy as U-238 My cobalt blues are radon red from crying It's like World War III, now that you've cut me free My lungs ache with all these sighs I'm sighing But this uranium heart Will rise above and glow again Yes this uranium heart Will someday be on the mend My heart's as heavy as U-238 Nuclear winter's done set in In this aftermath I'll write an epitaph And I'm all alone without a friend

Voyager 03:13
I am breaking free of the limits I am on my way to where no machine has gone before And I will tell you what I find when I get there I, I, I am I am voyager Ambassador to the stars I am rising above the challenge I am now beyond the heliopause No machine has gone this far before And I will sing you songs of fire and awe I, I, I am I am voyager Ambassador to the stars I, I, I am I am voyager Messenger to the void I was born seventy-seven When I left the dirt and entered heaven I will fly 'til 25 Unless I find another way to survive I am returning to your world I am coming home so fast No machine has gone so far And I am bringing answers home at last

Satellite, Satellite sending signals to the Night Our hopes and dreams, our fears and fright What are we inviting to our home? Satellite, Satellite, sending love songs to the stars Our history, our mysteries, our visions, and our words Why do we hope we're not alone? Satellite, Satellite, sending messages to the void Our whispered yearnings, our shouts of joy When will we receive an answer? Satellite, Satellite, sending notes no more No dreams and hopes, just the silence left by war Why didn't anyone answer?

I touched down on Titan back in 2634 Just another miner out to make a score Hydrocarbons, even more than we need To power the fastest ships at ever faster speeds You touch down on Titan and they hand you the keys To a drilling rig and a map of the seas They say good luck and send you off on your way They don't tell you that you'll never escape (to say) Goodbye Orange Skies (Goodbye) I dream of green Europa Terraformed and bright I dream of starry skies And cinnamon scented nights Goodbye Orange Skies (Goodbye) Days and nights on Titan are exactly the same Just boring orange light and gasoline rain Years pass so slowly, but somehow rush by I'm here with nothing to show in 2649 Fifteen years on Titan, I played by the rules They kept 10 years of my profits, "to pay for the tools" I finally paid off those scumbags, so now I can fly I just have to get through one last run alive (to say) Goodbye Orange Skies (Goodbye)
