Lyrics & Translation

[English]

the earth was burning our Sun had turned

on us and every other nation had fled to

the skies our children screamed as the

skies grew hotter and then it came like

a miracle the last of the star whales we

trapped it

we built our ship around it and we rode

on his back to safety if you wish our

voyage to continue then you must press

the forget button again the heart of

this nation untainted

[Music]

if not press the other button

your reign will end the star where will

be released and our ship will

disintegrate I hope I keep the strength

to make the right decision I vote for

this why would I do that because you

know if we stayed here I'd be faced with

an impossible choice humanity or the

alien you took it upon yourself to save

me from that that was wrong

you don't ever decide what I need to

know I don't even remember doing it who

did it that's what counts

I'm I'm sorry no I don't care but I'm

done here you're going home

[Music]

why because I made a mistake one mistake

I don't even remember doing it I know

you're only human

what are you doing the worst thing I'll

ever do I'm gonna pass a massive

electrical charge through the stylus

brain should not enter his heart

functions we've it's vegetable will

still fly but the whale won't feed it

that'll be like killing it three options

one I bet the starwell continue in

unendurable agony for hundreds more

years to I kill everyone on this ship

three I murder a beautiful innocent

creature as painlessly as I can and then

I find a new name because I won't be the

doctor unless we think we can do some of

the white nobody nobody I don't you

think the same to me today

you

• if you wish our voyage to continue then you must press the forget button again

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Type 1)

  ➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence: "If + present simple, will + base verb". It expresses a real possibility and likely outcome. The 'forget button' being pressed is the condition for the voyage continuing.

• your reign will end the star whale will be released

  ➔ Future Simple (will)

  ➔ The use of 'will' indicates a prediction or a statement of future fact. It's a direct consequence stated as a certainty.

• I vote for this why would I do that

  ➔ Indirect Question

  ➔ "Why would I do that" is an indirect question. Instead of directly asking 'Why do you do that?', it's embedded within a statement. The auxiliary verb 'would' is used to express uncertainty or hypothetical reasoning.
