Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,500
[Verse 1]
Every mind on Earth, they say it’s true,
Focused on the ship, what we must do.

3
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:47,500
Talk or die, the message clear and cold,
A weight upon our souls, a story to be told.

4
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:55,500
The headlines scream, the cults begin to rise,
And seven months of fear reflected in our eyes.

5
00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:01,500
[Chorus]
A paramecium shape against the sky,
Five green faces watching us go by.

6
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,500
A problem posed, a challenge laid so bare,
Communicate or face despair!

7
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:14,500
The sands of time are slipping through our hand,
Can we understand? Can we withstand?

8
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:26,500
[Verse 2]
They opened rooms, five identical doors,
Each offering knowledge, secrets to explore.

9
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:34,500
A language strange, a gesture undefined,
A puzzle vast for humankind to find.

10
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:42,500
We analyze, dissect with all our might,
Searching for the key in fading desert light.

11
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:50,500
[Bridge]
Treason! Lies! They’re stalling us, you see!
This is a trap, a cruel conspiracy!

12
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:59,500
They'll conquer Earth, enslave us to their will,
While we debate semantics standing still!

13
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:05,500
[Chorus]
A paramecium shape against the sky,
Five green faces watching us go by.

14
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:10,500
A problem posed, a challenge laid so bare,
Communicate or face despair!

15
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:18,500
The sands of time are slipping through our hand,
Can we understand? Can we withstand?

16
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:31,000
[Verse 3]
But language binds, it limits what we know,
A cage of words where true feelings cannot flow.

17
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
I see a dance, a rhythm deep inside,
Emotions spoken, truths they can’t hide.

18
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Forget the logic, cast aside the fear,
Let instinct guide us, make our purpose clear!

19
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:54,000
[Bridge]
The monk's prediction, dark and filled with dread,
But hope remains, a path lies just ahead.

20
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:03,000
A simple gesture, a feeling understood,
Beyond the words, a connection good.

21
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000
[Chorus]
A paramecium shape against the sky,
Five green faces watching us go by.

22
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,500
A problem posed, a challenge laid so bare,
Communicate or face despair!

23
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,500
The sands of time are slipping through our hand,

24
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:22,500
Can we understand? Can we withstand?

25
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:32,500
[Outro]
Not harshly loud… not suddenly neglectful…
But murmuring…
Remember… remember…
