High Moon Songtext

von Arjen Anthony Lucassen

Storyteller:
Memories come back to me, it's the 22nd century
Unthinkable events occur on the 3rd moon of Jupiter

Worker:
I'd leave this hellhole if I could
The mining's hard but the pay is good
There is only one way to survive
I take the drug to stay alive

Marshal:
The shuttlecraft has landed, the killers have arrived
I know I'm alone here, there is no one on my side
I'm ready for the showdown, so let the chase begin
I will not be defeated
I have made a solemn vow to leave here soon

Marshal's wife:
High Moon

Storyteller:
The company is trying to hide the higher rates of suicide
There's no pain and much to gain,
But then the drug destroys their brain

Worker:
I gotta leave this evil place
I don't belong in outer space
Outside it's zero atmosphere
The only way to get out of here

Storyteller:
He had to choose between his part in this machine
Or going back with her to earth
He never had a choice, but when he heard her voice
He fought for all that he was worth

Marshal:
I had to choose, I could not lose
Had to get back to you
I had no choice, I heard your voice
I had to survive, had to stay alive
