Ziltoid:
Greetings, humans.
I'm Ziltoid, the omniscient.
I've come far from across the omniverse.
You shall fetch me your universe's ultimate cup of coffee: black.
You have five Earth minutes.
Make it perfect!
2. By Your Command
Ziltoid-
I command, my dominion...
Every heart, and all opinion
Hide me, guide me, dry my tears...
Slowly taking back the years,
By your command!!!
(Ziltoid's Cronies) 'By your command!!!'
By your comrades!
Know I know all I am and we are not, we are not to blame,
For all I have known, we are all, we are all the same
Over and over and over and over and over and over again!!!
Touch it, take it, make it your friend!
You have not convinced mighty Ziltoid... I am so omniscient... If there were to be two omnisciences, I would be both!
Prepare yourself for the subjugation~
Hide Me, Guide Me, dry my tears by your command!!! Slowly taking back...
Now I know, all I ask is... We are not, we are not to blame
For all I have learned now, we are not to blame
Over and over and over and over and over and over again!!!
Oh, the physical race...you're dying
Oh, with physical grace.
Gone too far for the universe, gone too far for the way on home, gone too far for the universe, the universe
I'm flying... over physical
I'm flying... over physical waste,
I'll keep it live, and stay awake

4. Solar Winds
Captain Spectacular – Did you know that time is not a straight line, everything that you learn, now it’s gone, gone away.
You take your turn. If you choose, you burn. Everything that you were, now it’s gone, gone away…
Yeah it’s gone gone away…
The Crew – Yeah it’s gone gone away…
CS – Gone, and the world is gone, and we find there’s no one that’s waiting for the light to call, and we’re on our own, and we find there’s one that’s waiting for the light to call.
The Crew – And we’re on your own, and we find there’s no one that’s waiting for the light to call…
C.S - I must rise, I must find a way...for this…Ziltoid must surely pay.
My fellow humans… I, Captain Spectacular. Hereby give my good wood.
(Yeah it’s gone, gone away…)
Solar winds blow, through my unconscionable mind.
Solar winds blow, through my unconscionable mind
Say it again, say it again, words are useful weapons
Say it again and again and again and again and again and again!!!
Ziltoid – Hey, don’t let her down, you’ve let her into my world…
Hey, you’ll never learn, you’ve let her into my mind.
Hold the soul, the solar winds glowing cold.
Hey, you’ll never learn, you’ve let her into my world, sew the makings of your untold, the solar winds, the solar winds blowing cold.
Lietenant Squiggles - Commander Ziltoid, permission to speak…
Z – Grated…
LS – It appears as if Captain Spectacular and the remaining humans have set a course towards the benevolent Hive Mind Nice…
Z – Indeed!!!
Come to me, you know I’m right...come to me, into the night,
Knowing we are right behind the solar winds, the solar winds blowing cold.
Ziltoid – After them!!!
(Solar winds blowing cold…)
Captain Spectacluar – He’s gaining on us! Hyperdrive!!!! Put it in hyperdrive!!!
Ensign Scoopy – Commander Ziltoid, the humans are no longer on our radar!
Ziltoid – Whaaat? They must have jumped into hyperdrive… PHOOEY!!! and double PHOOEY… until we meet again commander…
5. Hyperdrive
So cold, in the night,
Where the river flows,
Where the river flows,
So cold, in the night,
Where the river flows,
Where the river flows,
Sail away,
Hey, I’m sorry,
Everyday is a new day.
Hooray for love,
Hey, I’m lonely,
Trying to find a new way.
So cold, in the night,
Where the rivers slow,
Say the rivers slows,
So cold, in the night,
Where the rivers slow,
Say the rivers slows,
So cold…
Connect!
So cold, in the night,
Hold on…
Hold on…
So cold, in the night,
Hold on…
Hold on…
Sail away,
Hey I’m sorry,
Every day’s a new day,
Hooray for love.
Hey I’m lonely
Try and be on your way,
On your way...
On your way...
She loves me not…

Having made their way through space, Captain Spectacular and his intrepid crew have arrived in nebulo 9.
Unbeknownst to the humans, Ziltoid has also arrived
[Ziltoid:] Haha! Surprise!

Say to me,
Eternally,
Explain to me,
Infinity,

Stay with me,
Eternally,
Explain to me,

Time slows,
Time for…

[Ziltoid:] I feel so…vulnerable. You have not seen the last of me! You have not seen the last of Ziltoid!
7. Planet Smasher
[Ziltoid:]
Yes, I feel like a good bit of entertainment…time to destroy the planets.
Which one shall it be? This one? No…too feeble. This one…yes, perhaps.
Yes. This one shall do nicely. Commander…
[Commander:] Yes, Captain Ziltoid?
[Ziltoid:] Divert all the power from the main engines to the front guns
[Commander:] Yes captain Ziltoid, anything else?
[Ziltoid:] Take ninety percent of the surplus power and divert it toward the sonar awakening device…
[Commander:] Aye aye captain.
[Ziltoid:] We must summon the 6th dimensional planet smasher, I feel like a bit of fun…Summon him.
[Planet Smasher:] Who dares awaken the planet smasher!
[Ziltoid:] It is I, the 4th dimensional Ziltoid the omniscient!
Cherish the mind,
Cover your mind,
Cherish your mental sanctum.
Cower to war,
Cower to war,
Cower to war,
On the Earth!
Curse to be by the sun,
Power gain out,
You are the only one,
Channels the mind,
Channels the mind,
Channels the mind,
Of the earth,
Cherish the pain,
Cherish the pain,
Cherish the pain,
Cherish the mental weapon,
Cower to war,
Cower to war,
Cowards remain on the earth.
Tell me what you want from me!
ALL I WANNA BE IS THE OMNIVERSE!
They’re allowed to be,
Around all of us,
All I want to see,
Through the omniverse,
Let its thoughts go until tomorrow,
Smasher,
Bow to the valley below,
Please do not raise the planet smasher, mighty Ziltoid!
We are…
Smash it!
Bow to the valley below,
Bow,
Smasher,
Bow,
Smasher,
Bow to the valley below!
Smasher!
ALL I WANT TO BE IS THE OMNIVERSE!
Smasher!
They are allowed to be!
Around all of us!
All I want to see through the omniverse!
Through the omniverse!
Through the omniverse!
Through the omniverse!
[Planet Smasher:] Foul pest! And by the way the names Herman. And I hate musicals!
8. Omnidimensional Creator
[Narrator:] Having been rejected by the planet smasher, Ziltoid seeks the council of the omnidimensional creator.
[Ziltoid:] Assuage my confusion about creation and the universe
[Creator:] Yo! Ziltoid, what’s up dude? Long time no see…although I see everything. What’s on you mind bro?
[Ziltoid:] Modular forms and elliptic curves! Infinite fire revolving around infinite parallels fractals of infinite reality, each cascading, gliding in an infinite wheel. Tell me the true nature of my reality!
[Creator:] You gotta chill man…
9. Color Your World
See how the waves of the world,
Recline to me,
See how the weight of the world,
Resign to me,
Sooner or later,
The nights with the satyr,
Will bring back the memories,
Time…
See how the sight of it all,
Recline to me,
Dance of the power of all,
Resign to me,
Who’s the weakest now?
Caught up in the wire,
I’m already gone,
Who’s the weakest?
I concede to rights,
To do whatever I can,
Watching a right,
But not this,
I’m Ziltoid!
I don’t give a shit!
I live above earth!
In a rocketship!
I’m Ziltoid!
The horror!
The horror!
I’m Ziltoid!
The horror!
The horror!
I’m Ziltoid!
The horror!
The horror!
Stay at home for me,
You and I are free,
To love by the firewall,
Too loud for a while...
Stay at home for me,
(Ziltoid the omniscient)
Come on I,
Are we?
(Oooohhh Ahhh)
In time,
You’ll be young again,
Too loud for a while...
Say I’m wasting all my life,
Say I’m wasting time,
Stay at home for me,
(Ziltoid the omniscient)
You and I are free
To love…
So in the end,
It’s beautiful,
It’s beautiful,
Yes in the end,
It’s beautiful,
So beautiful,
You say you wanna know!
You say you wanna take it down!
You say you wanna know, know, know!
Well now’s the only time!
Are you sure you wanna know?
Are you sure you wanna take it down?
Are you sure you wanna know, know, know?
You’re a PUPPET!
You’re a PUPPET!
You’re a PUPPET!
You’re a PUPPET!
You’re a PUPPET!
I am a PUPPET!
I am a PUPPET!
I am a PUPPET!
I am a PUPPET!
We are all PUPPETS!
We are all PUPPETS!
10. The Greys
Stay away from the unknown,
Stay away from me,
For a while,
Alone,
In your own words,
In your own world,
For me,
It’s the greys that give…
Alone, alone,
And it’s the serious that give a plan…
Alone, alone
In your own word,
In your own world,
For me,
And the words,
They get so low!
And then its time,
To carry me home
You were right
You were right, right?
READY OR NOT HERE I COME!
And the greys float our memories,
In the long haul,
And the greys wash away…
So,
CHAOS!
So alone, alone, alone.
And the words,
They get so low!
And then its time,
To carry me home,
You were right,
We were right,
Ready or not here I come!
And the greys float our memories,
In the long haul,
And they greys float our memories,
In the long haul,
And they greys float our memories,
In the long haul…
