Station X

from The Masque by The Id

/

about

The zombie hordes finally break in to the military base eliminating the last vestiges of humanity on earth leaving the astronauts aboard Station X eating static.  

lyrics

Whatever guides the hand of fate
Has reached us now it's far too late
The Masque devours our planet
Circling below

And all the men of science
Have no answers
None can find a cure
The dying of the human species
Is at hand
The future's now obscure
​
And in the corners of my mind 
Images with clouded meanings
May God have mercy on
The creatures left behind

Whatever future beckons 
We are stranded
High above the Earth
Unable to prevent the end of
The place that gave us birth

Paying witness to the final moments
Wreaking havoc
With our mortal souls
The winning of this final battle's 
Beyond our reach
And out of our control
​
And in the corners of my mind 
Images with solid formings
The nightmare's taking shape
From which we cannot wake
​
And as we orbit out in space
The remnants of a frail, failing race
The questions raise and beg for answers… 

What once was pure becomes unclean
So many dreadful sights should stay unseen
But they are only adding to 
The visions in my head

I don't know what our end will be
But we're the last with destiny
The only humans left behind
​
The city lights dim one by one
The very towns where we came from
Are fighting a losing battle
Consumed by rabid rage

We ignored all the hidden warnings
A non-conforming
Hateful war was waged
The reapings of a bitter harvest
The end drawing near

We left it too late 
It's sealed our fate. 
​
And in the corners of my mind 
Images of anguished endings
I hear the battle raging
Isolation 
knocks me to the floor
The solace of a safe conclusion
I know I will not find

It's much too la-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ate
