Set Your Controls Lyrics

A. One by Four by Nine 

Messenger:

Touch me now and feel my force

I will give you life

History will change its course

Man will survive

Computer:

Something's strange, I'm so confused, I don't know why 

Storyteller:(secrets have not been told) 

 Computer:

I've been designed to tell the truth, I cannot lie 

Storyteller: (when will the truth unfold?) 

 Computer:

I heard the news, a mystery, a strange device 

Storyteller: (what does the future hold?) 

 Computer:

I'm so afraid, I just can't see through all these lies 

Storyteller: (behold this alien messenger) 

Computer:

is this a cosmic design? 

Storyteller: (the bringer of a new day) 

Computer:

one by four by nine 

Messenger:

Reach out to me and seal your fate

A new phase is near

Come to me and cross the gate

No pain, no fear 

B. Starchild 

Commander:

A strange signal, beamed out in space

From the face of the moon

Harbinger of a new race

We'll be evolving soon 

I see the future, a new star will rise

I see the world through the all-seeing eyes 

Of the Starchild 

I have entered another dimension

My perception expands

Transcending beyond comprehension

Evolution of man? 

C. A New Sun 

 Messenger:

Time has come, a brand new sun

Shining down on you

The reign of peace has now begun

Dreams have come true 

Computer:

I see the future, a new star will rise

I see the world through the all-seeing eyes 

Of the Starchild
