Hot planet heating still
Burning up and boiling over
Lava pours volcanoes spill
Burning up and boiling over

Chorus
Power plants melt down
Missile silos crack open
Lethal virus plagues abound
No more faith and no more hoping
Earth quakes land shakes
Giant waves are sweeping over
Oceans roar storms break
Giant waves are sweeping over
Giant waves are sweeping over
Chorus
Power plants melt down
Missile silos crack open
Lethal virus plagues abound
No more faith and no more hoping
No more countries
No more nations
Nothing but annihilation x 3

Seeds of future sown
Searching for another world

I woke from hibernation
That’s all I know
Bewildered and alone
When I realized
My blood ran cold
Bewildered and alone
Like a cuckoo in a nest
Like a cuckoo in a nest
Destroying all the rest
Destroying all the rest
I was imprisoned
I know what I’ve done
Bewildered and alone
I am still in that prison
The damage is done
I can’t go on
Like a cuckoo in a nest
Like a cuckoo in a nest
Destroying all the rest
Destroying all the rest
Now I pray to a god I don’t believe in
Dear God please help me
Now I pray to a god I don’t believe in
Dear God please help me
I can end it now
Dear God please help me
I must end it now
Dear God please help me
I will end it now
Dear God please help me end it now

Solution

The problem can be resolved
With genetic engineering
Biotechnology employed
Desired phenotype identified
Cuckoo gene removed
Cuckoo gene removed
Cuckoo gene removed
Cuckoo gene removed
Recombinant DNA
Has been completely synthesized
And fused with the host
Through the new vector system
Defective gene replaced
Defective gene replaced
Defective gene replaced
Defective gene replaced
The Zeroth law was applied
We have not harmed humanity
The cuckoo gene has been knocked out
We have averted this calamity
Cuckoo gene destroyed
Cuckoo gene destroyed
Cuckoo gene destroyed
Cuckoo gene destroyed
The subject will return to hibernation
Cryogenic chambers all examined
No further evidence of defective genes
Now our mission will be continued

Awake! Alive!
It could have been a hundred years
That we slept just waiting for the right time to appear
Everything prepared in time for our arrival
To our brand new brave new world
Of human survival
The land of plenty used to be so empty
But now we’re back to life we are living in it now
Awake! Alive!
Brought out of hibernation
Establishing the colony for the future generations
Everything prepared in time for our arrival
To our brand new brave new world
Of human survival
The land of plenty used to be so empty
But now we’re back to life we are living in it now
Planetary engineering
Terraforming, seeding
Ecosystem bio-engineering
Awake! Alive!
In the biospheres
A garden just like Eden where no serpent can appear
Everything prepared in time for our arrival
To our brand new brave new world
Of human survival
The land of plenty used to be so empty
But now we’re back to life we are living in it now
Planetary engineering
Terraforming, seeding
Ecosystem bio-engineering
