Floating in the void between the stars
Still so much love for Mother Earth
As our species stretches out here so far

Prime directive: protect Her at all costs
Pacify any extra-solar beings that resemble the ancient
Ones that achieve power through evolutionary violence
Survival just an excuse to execute existence
As it did before certain theories apply now
Strike them before they strike first: preemptive war
Scourge upon this galaxy are we
Unaware of our inexcusable misdeeds

Burn their cities from where they cannot reach
Anti-matter ignites; oscillating energy
Pulsing on and off taking away life
Stabbing planet after planet like a gamma-ray knife
On the verge of achieving Type-3
Planet after planet, igniting their seas
Just like the humans did to Earth
We have unknowingly usurped their throne

We march forth under the banner of Earth
With the false assumption that all who exist
That are not us are an opposing force
No art, no culture, no real society
Just death after death trying to achieve perpetual peace
The Great Filter that exists to blockade
Other cultures and cut them off?
That's us; in it's purest form of raw power allowed by nature
And once we have neutralized all threats that exist to Earth
We will conquer the observable universe

Burn their cities from where they cannot reach
Anti-matter ignites; oscillating energy
Pulsing on and off taking away life
Stabbing planet after planet like a gamma-ray knife
On the verge of achieving Type-3
Planet after planet, igniting their seas
Just like the humans did to Earth
We have unknowingly usurped their throne

Burn their cities from where they cannot reach
Anti-matter ignites; oscillating energy
Pulsing on and off taking away life
Stabbing planet after planet like a gamma-ray knife
On the verge of achieving Type-3
Planet after planet, igniting their seas
Just like the humans did to Earth
We have unknowingly usurped their throne
We have unknowingly usurped their throne
We have unknowingly usurped their throne

How can you break the cycle
When you are the cycle itself?
From the macro-verse to quantum existence
And the entanglement to the other side
From whence life came that
Shaped the reality we know
The golden law imprisons
Yet the golden law bestows
