Booklet Lyrics[]
- "When you gaze upon the flickering distant stars that set the night sky ablaze with brazen diamonds, has it ever occurred to you that the chance is great that someone, or rather something, is glaring back at you?
If such a creature would make contact with human beings, in what shape would such a message be? Megalithic antennas throughout the world continuously scan the skies for such cosmic perplexities, and on one fateful day they might very well find a pattern of cryptic logic in the empyrean waves of sonar resonation.
There is only one thing that can be said with some certainty; if such a stellar scroll would lead to contact between our two races, the destructiveness of mankind would see to that only one species would remain."
A cryptic equation
of a pulsating light
An unearthly riddle
from beyond the starlit sky
Message of unknown design
Heavenly but non-divine
Sent by intelligent minds
An echo through space and time
Fractal figures, deciphered lines
Stellar visit is nigh
See the fire in the cloudless night
Bright reflections of lights in my eyes
Now we will see
will our contact be
salvation from afar
a guiding star
Solo: Holmlid
A cold observation
of systematical eyes
Our demeanor transfigured
A calculated demise
Contact with alien life
Heavenly but non-divine
Communication with cosmic minds
that travelled through space and time
See the fire in the cloudless night
Bright reflections of lights in my eyes
Now we will see
will our contact be
salvation from afar
A guiding star
Solo: Mörck
Solo: Holmlid
Solo: Magnusson
Solo: Mörck
Complete fulfillment of ancient signs
A swift destruction by higher minds
See the fire in the cloudless night
Bright reflections of lights in my eyes
now we will see
that our contact will be
destruction from afar
One final war
