“…Death to mankind Your world falls down Death to mankind Under internal force…” [Spoken] Ran the year 2392, after 40 decades of war. The same planet once so pure, saw the devastation and now it’s in free fall [/Spoken] The same strict split for each head, a barcode to safeguard possible unrest Faith in a system of orders, and warlike blaze The Argonauts keep on walking through life, unaware They reflect corrupted society not yet defunct with the Earth They reflect for sure the bane that plagued the Earth “We are the new interstellar force To preserve the birth of human hope We got good chances to build new worlds We are the new interstellar force” Waiting for the promised land Far away from massification and desire of glorification Disorientation! This is what they fight to preserve what they feel. As well as the blind man walks in the darkness, survivors will face their own needs. [Spoken] Jason, the ship, started looking for new worlds to colonize. Inhabited by people of different cultures, the Argonauts, on it there are precise rules that nobody can violate [/Spoken] Far away from massification This is what they fight to preserve what they feel As well as the blind man walks in the darkness Survivors will face their own needs [Solo: ALE] “We are the new interstellar force To preserve the birth of human hope We got good chances to build new worlds We are the new interstellar force”

There’s a strange and shy form of life That turns in trash everything it finds It lives in holes, hidden from the sun Escaping truth and feeling so high The rest is low, the air’s not enough Someone tells “life is confined” How could our endless search finish? Fate will tell us how to prepare… Encourage Yourself Now! Now the trip is at a crossroad we don’t know how it will end End is before us! Before we understand how precious life was on Earth Earth is falling down! Down in the hyperspace, we constantly lose ourselves! We, the Argonauts! We constantly lose ourselves! Prepare to the fall… Planets we devastate, feeding on human waste! We bring sackcloth… Planets we devastate, feeding on human waste! Prepare to the fall… Heavy dancing on your race. You our ware, crushed with hate! We bring sackcloth… Turning dreams into nightmares. Marching on your bowed heads! [Solo: ALE] There’s a strange and cruel form of death It climbs the highest mountains in search for rent And it consumes every single chance It got to redeem itself! If there’s a creature never satisfied, that corrupts its fellow and lives in the lie But in tragic moments (it) tries to react… we all know that is (the) man! Encourage Yourself Now! Now the trip is at a crossroad we don’t know how it will end End is before us! Before we understand how precious life was on Earth Earth is falling down! Down in the hyperspace, we constantly lose ourselves! We, the Argonauts! We constantly lose ourselves!

“I have seen in the distance a fading glimpse of fear The atmosphere has changed, in a moment all troubles are far away And so I began the journey across the stars, following my Fate In my whole life I have seen things that still torment my dreams Now this trip to look for identity is the only certainty Earth Portal Gates Black Holes Sometimes I ask myself if I wanna dream anymore I left behind the motherland what I won’t remember so long While I jot down these lines, I focus on my pain I see a galactic sea of stars, will it be the goal or a trip in vain Earth Portal Gates Black Holes I saw a sea of stars right in front of me A Sea of Stars I saw a sea of stars right in front of me A Sea of Stars [Acoustic Solo: PAUL] [Solo: ALE] In my whole life I’ve only seen my dreams thrown away I have seen in the distance a fading glimpse of fear The atmosphere has changed and in a moment all doubts ran away So I began the journey to finally know what’s the rightest way to live! Earth Portal Gates Black Holes I saw a sea of stars right in front of me A Sea of Stars I saw a sea of stars right in front of me A Sea of Stars”

After a decade of leading the way and ready for something to die for The Argonauts fly counting the days, the extinction is at the gates of Time! The ship trudges across its timeless journey Supplies are scarce but the goal is near Crew is out of mind and in fear Praying to survive in that frozen atmosphere Rising from the darkness of a war! They represent the hope of a new world! Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Forget the sacred and profane Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Prepare the shadows of past to fall Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Forgive yourself all what you did Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Prepare yourself to a dome of inviolable iron walls! Humans have placed in them techno gifts, but the strategy is far from Jason’s plan! The route hides pitfalls and nobody knows where the ship will finally land The captain follows the coordinates of leaders, the goal is still not at sight. Maybe hope will die with the infinite search of a planet to colonize. Rising from the darkness of a war! They represent the hope of a new world! Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Forget the sacred and profane Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Prepare the shadows of past to fall Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Forgive yourself all what you did Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Prepare yourself to a dome of inviolable iron walls! Fear the years you got before, you are blind! Reflect on your sins while your tears become ice! [Solo: ALE] Rising from the darkness of a war! They represent the hope of a new world! Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Forget the sacred and profane Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Prepare the shadows of past to fall Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Forgive yourself all what you did Cosmic Gateway To Infinity Prepare yourself to a dome of inviolable iron walls!

Imaging to succeed in something never seen A difficult undertaking has started for the skipping A handful of soldiers devoted to sacrifice Their face branded with demure smile Mercenaries without control, in their currency paralyzed An enterprise we can’t forget in the future of mankind Armies of ghosts roam across the space So sure and proud in duty, in their last masterpiece Masters of devoured lands, Kings of fake past days Ignorance and tragedy lead them to uninhabitable places Races abandoned to their fate Asteroids of loneliness Leaders trapped in cage Broken hearts in illness A sickness straight to the core Symptom of human frailties No welcome to the soul An eternal quest in sorrow Armies of ghosts roam across the space So sure and proud in duty, in their last masterpiece Masters of devoured lands, Kings of fake past days Ignorance and tragedy lead them to uninhabitable places [Solo: ALE] Led by pure hypocrisy Driven by the sense of fault Divided in their agony No hope for the Argonauts… no more [Solo: ALE] A handful of soldiers devoted to sacrifice Their face branded with demure smiles Mercenaries without control, in their currency paralyzed An enterprise we can’t forget in the future of mankind Armies of ghosts roam across the space So sure and proud in duty, in their last masterpiece Masters of devoured lands, Kings of fake past days Ignorance and tragedy lead them to uninhabitable places

Dead Zone 05:57
Landed thousand light years after the leaving Testified so long in faith and bored of this controlled living Given all the best in searching for something we can’t tell In front of us a place we’ve never seen, maybe victim of a spell No buildings, scars or memories No trace of any beings A desert plain devoured by rust An eternal tomb of rotting flesh No buildings, scars or memories No trace of any beings A desert plain devoured by rust An eternal tomb of rotting flesh Where do we go now? Up and down in floating dimensions Have you ever seen? Have you ever felt this type of manipulation? Where do we go now? Beyond all lies, in this dead zone we feel abandoned Why? Why we should deserve a new world to stand? The mission runs on a line that’s so glad Like the water lilies on the lake dance Our firm deeply trembles before the death! Landed thousand light years after the leaving Testified in our faith but bored of this controlled living Given our best in searching for something we can’t tell In front of us a place we’ve never seen, maybe victim of a spell Where do we go now? Up and down in floating dimensions Have you ever seen? Have you ever felt this type of manipulation? Where do we go now? Beyond all lies, in this dead zone we feel abandoned

Look! Over there stands the beginning of a new life The journey of Jason is over, a new Earth is in sight Argonauts! Prepare for landing, prepare to colonize For sure we will find everything we need, a new eve for mankind Lies… Lies! Empire of lies Built on ephemeral promises, a cosmic conspiracy in time Blind… flight! (A) Voyage to Void A planet already exploited and drained, an empty shell to be avoided Ruins! Remains of an ancient society in front of us Cities abandoned in past, dark skeletons covered by rust Despair! Painted on faces of us, stellar mariners We’ve experienced to be part of power games, a new frontier of lie Lies… Lies! Empire of lies Built on ephemeral promises, a cosmic conspiracy in time Blind… flight! (A) Voyage to Void A planet already exploited and drained, an empty shell to be avoided [Solo: THAEN RASMUSSEN] The New Interstellar Force overcomes the early discouragement, finding again a reason to fight for and to restart their journey, searching other gateways through infinite seas of stars, trying undaunted to show their strength, finding newly exploited planets once submitted by an empire built on lies without loosing hope… and they will never come back again. Doom! Our fate is lost in space, drown in a sea of stars Our pride for a long-awaited enterprise has turned into anger and pain Argonauts! Prepare to sail again, prepare to discover new lands The journey of Jason is not over, new hopes for (a) new lif Lies… Lies! Empire of lies Built on ephemeral promises, a cosmic conspiracy in time Blind… flight! (A) Voyage to Void A planet already exploited and drained, an empty shell to be avoided
