LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION

On the far side of the Galaxy within the Sigma system lies the terrestrial planet Trantor.
A planet with two Suns and sixteen moons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANTOR

We used to gaze in awe and wonder
from the the desert plains that lie behind the wall
accomplishments we could not match
suspended self belief and kept us held enthralled

Genetically selected defects all corrected
We the Chaff were herded out

We knew the tide would turn in time against the pyramid makers of Trantor

It`s always hard to understand
the extreme line which stretched between the short and tall
by striking fast and hitting hard
We gradually made headway till it was our call

Scientifically Superior but morally inferior

Degradation frowned upon

We stamped out all the genocide of the pyramid makers of Trantor

Bridge

And I could never see the annexation of mediocrity

Then I could not believe this fixation with stagnation

Sixteen moons above our heads
Cast twilight down and never quite masked us all
The shadow war had started slow
Then escaleted quickly in to free for all

Infiltrators put to sword Informants slain one and all
Double dealers scruitinised.

We halted the infanticide of the pyramid makers of Trantor
