lyrics

RETURN TO STAR ROOTS

The Vocal Vigilante sings For Alien Ears
That in time Space Shall Weave His Destiny.
He can’t Avoid The Void as he has no fears
To respond to his Affinity With The Infinity.

Yearn to return to Star Roots
To walk his old world in astral boots.
Yearning to be returning to Star Roots
Casting aside his earthly alien suits.

Those Obnoxious Types of humanity
Make his time on earth an Albatrocity.
If mankind is revolting, if people are obscene,
Then The Only Good Man Is A Machine.

Yearn to return to Star Roots …

He is treated like a Fugitive From A Nameless Region
And shunned like a Sinking Ship That Passes In The Night.
His human tormentors say, “We Are Legion”.
His Romance Under The Heavens becomes a fight.

Yearn to return to Star Roots …

Waking in a padded cell out of a Nightmare Trip
Like a Navigator Through Nowhere losing his grip,
He waits for Bug-Eyed Monsters and Little Green Men
To welcome his return as one of them.

A return to Star Roots is all for the best
The human race shouldn’t Question Alien Quests
Going back to normal with a Star Roots return
It’s time to be gone, it’s unwise to adjourn.
