1. The Spinward Marches
2. High Passage / Low Passage
I am a space pirate, you know my name
Asteroid mining is a dangerous game
Imperial navy can't keep up my pace
Chasing a rock into Zhodani space
You heard about me in the frontier wars
Psionic menace carrying alien spores
A living legend in the asteroid mines
Outvoting tarrifs and imperial fines
One-thousand credits is my humble price
Whether it's nickel, iron, stone or ice
Only the wayfaring patron would dare
A merchant cruiser, a skyway corsair
It's not a mineral that I seek here
High passage, low passage
Any way I'm outta here
I was born in colonies
On fringe worlds of the galaxy
Meanwhile in Zhodani space
Imperial flagships follow me
3. Asteroid Belts
Plotting a course by the Gas Giant's Sun
Outdated star-charts, provisions and guns
Locked in the Library Data by night
Approaching jump-3 second engines ignite
Blinded and firing in uncharted space
Querion subsector star-maps erased
Enter the mining belt's vagabond trade
Coreward to Spinward both navies invade
Scattered directional asteroids fly
Shattering meteors, war-heads collide
Sandcasters broken, shields won't sustain
Waking on impact, a cold desert plane
4. Professor's Theme
And now comes the time to make you one
Experiment's stage has just begun
In asteroid mines the spores are grown
Creating the race to rape you
On the day when my work is done
And the races become as one
Overlapping nucleotides
Double helix is genocide
Bisecting the strand, apply the stud
Amalgamate Man with Vargr blood
Creating the race to rape you
On the day when my work is done
And the races become as one
Overlapping nucleotides
Double helix is genocide
On the day when my work is through
And the cosmos becomes a zoo
5. Vargr Moon
The Vargr Moon's at height
The sun that shines at night
I'm dead in the sand
The gene that drives the beast
Still rises in the east
Bisecting the strand
A caravan of thieves
Inhuman and diseased
I'm at their command
And so my fate is sealed
The Vargr plan's revealed
Dissection of man
Muscles twitch -incisions deep
Splice the gene -bisect the strand
I feel the x-rays on my brain
Dissection cannisters, alien's bane
I feel the x-rays on my cerebral cortex
Slowly growing canine teeth
Biting me out of the chains
Testing out the spores on me
The Vargr moon's at height
Escape's in route tonight
I'm leaving the sand
Revenge is what I seek
My mission's incomplete
Bisecting the strand
6. Vargr Theme/Confrontation
With the merging of the races
In this lost society
We will claim the Spinward Marches
We will rule the galaxy
We are free!
Though they once were our creators
Now we curse Humanity
From the race manipulations
To this dark obscurity
We'll be free!
Cast out of a world, once we owned
Lust got in the way, race dethroned
From ancient major races
To the old Genetic Wars
Came the carnivores and chasers
Now they're scattered though the stars
Near and far!
Now the secret is discovered
To our lost identity
We will infiltrate the cosmos
Our generic prophesy
We'll be free!
Cast out of a world, once we owned
Once out in the fray, we'll be cloned
It's a God-given right
So we choose to defy you
The professor was right
It's a God-given right
Ceremonial gene-splicing
Into the master race
Under a Vargr moon fires still glistening
Back on the skywalks I'm not even listening
Cronor! Mora! Firgr! Glisten!
Bouncing off the stairs in the Querion Subsector
Armed and escaping this unholy vector I'm
Human! Vargr! Wretched! Doctor!
Into my body you've brought this disease
Master of adamite discoveries
Stroinger than ever you thought I'd be
Now that you've forced me to live out your fantasies
I will deliver your test-tube and prophesy
Mutant! Hybrid! Canine! Biped!
Into your human blood, penance for all your sins
Now I'll give you a taste of your own medicine
Human! Vargr! Wretched! Doctor!
Stalking the world as this monstrosity
Mutated messenger, alien genes
Stronger than ever you thought I'd be
Of what can you accuse me?
Your anger test my patience
I did not wish this on you
Your madness is quite blatant
In all your anguish I can see you are an ideal patient
My work is not yet wasted, wait and see
My countenance disfigured
My human genes are latent
You brought this fate upon me
And all your work is wasted
In all this world I only wanted to be independent
Clearly your madness brought this curse on me
Wait and see!
7. Baltech's Lament
Release the spores
All's lost and there's nothing gained
Your time is through
Chasing a worthless fate
Wasting your mind, rotting inside
All of the dreams for your life now have died
Alien mind, ancestral memories
Released in time
Progress and savagery
Scavenging waste, conquest in space
All of the memories of life gone to waste
First in a line
Heading towards mastery
Why waste your time?
Seeking out clemency
You're left behind
Body and mind
All those before you, just slaves to the grind
It's your god-given right
I suppose I would let you win
8. Gene-ocide
Cast in the role of a pawn by this federation
Living the life of a drone
You could be king of this race that now stands before you
See that the future is sown
What will they think of this whole story?
Spreading the poison of a race gone mad
Look in my eyes, you can see that I'm one of them
Weakness is spreading like fire through this generation
Rendering races unknown
Mixing and matching in random experiments
And wait for results to unfold
What would I do with all that glory?
Leading the downfall of the race I've known
Look in my eyes, you can see my impurity
I will devour all the plans for your retribution
Ravaging races of old
Soon you will see me as lord of this master race
As bodies are cast in the mold
Why in the world should I be sorry?
My body's wasted but my mind lives on
For the last time, I will ask you to join my cause
What will they think of this whole story?
Spreading the madness of a tortured mind
Look in his eyes, you can see through his lies
You can see his delusion's real
9. Curse of Humaniti
Imperial troops are coming
This may be our last chance
Professor's mind is numbing
As Vargr troops advance
And though your mind is restless
Don't waste it on the past
The Vargr moon is crescent
The future's theirs at last
The future's now becoming
A tribute to the past
The masses are succumbing
The race is merging fast
And though your mind is bitter
Don't give them what they want
Professor was a quitter
His methods far too blunt
And though your mind is restless
Don't waste it on the past
The Vargr moon is crescent
The future's ours at last
The curse of double helix
Brings only racial wars
And though you may not feel it
The air is filled with spores
10. The Final Gambit
You thought you'd conquered space
But now your reign is through
Dissect the human race
Until they conquer you
Fame is now mine
Even though it's illusion
Space and now time
Has just reached its conclusion
2000 years ago
My race created you
We turned you loose in space
Now a polluted zoo
Fate is no crime
I can face this illusion
Space and now time
Has just reached its conclusion
Light years are passing before me I'll soon begin
Carnivores roam the stars all in the place of men
Singular manifestation of time
And as your kingdom falls
I've taken after you
You may have wished this on me
And now you see it through
Your time is rolling over
My time is coming soon
I'll resurrect the ancient spores
Eclipse the Vargr moon
Matter warps space
So now time is illusion
How can I face this miraculous conclusion?
Light years are passing before me I'll soon begin
Right from the start I can see you're an alien
Singular manifestation of time
Your stories do amuse me
Although your eyes are vacant
I did not wish this on you
Your madness is quite blatant
Inside your mind I see the source of your hallucinations
Your body's wasted but your brain's on fire
The future still looks grim now
The human race is wasted
But soon you must turn over
The power you have tasted
In all your mercy I can see you are an ideal agent
To bring this curse upon the galaxy
Wait and see
Light years are passing before me I'll soon begin
Carnivores roam the stars all in the place of man
Infinite manifestation of time
11. The Spinward Marches (return)
12. Addendum Galactus
Although you're locked away now
Inside your wretched lair
You'll find me nestled in your mind
My seeds are planted there
Could you not see me coming?
No more mercy
No more lies
We now control your mind
You cant escape my vision
Your conscience now becomes my guide
You thought you'd reached final frontiers
But they remain inside
Could you not see this coming?
No more mercy
No more lies
We now control your mind
