one by one they crawl
over and over
one another
astronaut traveler
seeking the unknown
hindsight-blind, you're lost
you can't find the way home

Tired of living in Earthly squalor
There’s this place I have in mind
No need to pray to the son or the father
We’re cruising to colony 479
Off-world colony 479
You can see the Saturn rings
I can get us there in plenty of time
You don’t have to pack a thing
There is no fear or superstition
We can ignore the flow of time
We won’t need no ammunition
Everyone loves you at colony 479
Off-world colony 479
You can see Jupiter’s moons
Climb inside my rocket divine
We’ll arrive very soon

i picked up the signal three days ago outside of alpha centauri on my way to colony 479
it was faint at first but as i got closer, i could hear it:
help me
it said.
it clearly said 'me' so my concern for a massive rescue in my limited-space was slightly quelled. i set course for the origin of the signal and waited.
the droning of the ship's engines paired with the music i was playing. add the repeating words 'help me' and it seemed like a lullaby and soon i found myself drifting off to sleep.
i awoke after what seemed like ten minutes or so.
something was not right.
the lights of the spaceship's interior, a smattering of various controls and displays, was noticeably dim. the ship had landed, it seemed, but not by me or auto control.
'you're awake.' a voice said, breaking the silence in the cockpit and startling the shit out of me.
i froze for a moment, wondering if i should raise my hands or grab my service pistol. i slowly spun my chair to see the most beautiful woman i have ever seen. her hair was dark and flowing with an exotic look about her. it didn't seem like she was wearing any make up but her lashes were naturally thick and gave the appearance of it. Her lips were full and inviting. She wore a long simple gown that seemed to flow into the floor. she had to be a space siren. it would explain the loss of time. and her beauty.
'who are you?' i asked.
she moved towards me without moving her lips and i heard it.
'i am your salvation.'
i felt a force come over me restricting my movement and i struggled to reach for my service pistol. but i couldn't move.
the fear hit me not knowing what was going to happen, but it was subsided by an undeniable hedonistic feeling.
"what do you want?" i asked.
she moved towards me without speaking and began touching me; at first, innocently and that soon turned to inappropriate. red flags were popping up everywhere and i drank it all in. she made use of me and when she was finished, i saw her get up through some kind of haze. had she drugged me? what was happening?
'chase,' she said my name although i hadn't spoken it.
i woke up still pressed to the reclined captain's chair. i must have slept for i don't know how long but i was alone. the ship's power generator was nearly dead. life support systems were barely online. and i saw it. she had taken all of my fuel cells. once my ship's power generators died, that will soon become my fate
unless i find another way...

You’re looking up
They’re looking down
Bright lights shine
on the ground
Hello new friend
Is it over?
Hello old friend
Is it over?
They hold you down
Time disappears
Sleeping awake
All these years
You can’t forget
You can’t let go
You're laying in your bed again
Living in your head again
It's all right
Hello new friend
Is it over?
Hello old friend
Is it over?
It's all right
you're finally home
it's all right

stay still and look around you
all the floating spikes and spinning circles
look at her, look closely
she has flame in her eyes
and yours are hypnotized
she offers you to take a sip
as she pours wine down onto her skin
yet you drink it all away
down inside her you give yourself in
all along
(you have never felt so unleashed)
and you crawl in to get closer to her throne
where she sits and waits for you
and you worship her and crave her more
as she swallows you whole until you are gone
this is what was told all along
it is what was sold all along
this is what was planned to be all along
this is what was made by you all
(you say you have never felt so released)
to beat it all you think you can really give her everything
and when it all comes down to this
you scream it all together
spoken words:
All around the valve
She screams her highest sound
Aching, bleeding from the mouth
Souls lost and found
All along
As the rockets thrust
She lets out a breathy sigh
To forgive the broken trust
All along
to beat it all you think you can really give her everything
and when it all comes down to this
you scream it all together
this is what was told all along
it is what was sold all along
this is what was planned to be all along
this is what was made by you all

breathless
she moves across the painted sky
reaching through centuries of old
sirens calling
sirens calling
sing, sing, siren
the tale is spun
achelous is waiting
sing, sing, siren
the tale is spun
the traveler is on the run
restless
he chases paper moons
seeking embers from the flame
and the sirens falling
sirens calling his name
sing, siren, sing
the morning will come
the flame has already been made
sing, siren, sing
the morning will come
and soon the night will be undone
[bridge]
across space and time
our vow of flesh burns
like embers from the stars
while the ebony of space yearns
weightless
transformations engage the void
pulling out the morning sun
sirens crawling
sirens calling
sirens...
siren siren sing
the darkness has been spun
achelous is waiting
siren, siren, sing
the darkness has been spun
the traveler is on the run
sing siren sing
the morning will come
the flame has already been made
sing siren sing
the morning will come
and soon the heart will succumb
sing siren sing
the morning will come
and soon the night will be undone
