Lyrics Devin Townsend – Ziltoidian Empire

Text:

Calling on the earth’s core (part of the mind)
We are human beings!

Calling on the earth’s core (part of the mind)
We are humans being!

What will we find, when we all will die?

Ziltoid
Collective, this is commander Ziltoid the omniscient reporting
Collective
Greetings, Ziltoid…what is that strange creature?!
Ziltoid
Oh, this little thing! Yes… they call it a ‘Poozer’
Collective
From the planet Titan? You must take it back!

Calling on the earth’s core (part of the mind)
We are human beings!

Calling on the earth’s core (part of the mind)
We are humans being!

Where do we find the human soul?
All the searching leads to you!

(I’ve grown over, I roll over)
I crawl over my life of honour
All these children, entitled horrors…

Narrator:
Meanwhile, far across the solar system, Queen Blattaria, a war princess and the mother of the poozers, realizes one of her children has gone missing!

Blattaria
Oh no… where is my Poozer!?

Narrator:
The plot thickens…

(I am nowhere, I am no one… I am nowhere, I am no one)

Collective

Commander, are you sure that the war princess does not suspect it was you who abducted her Poozer?
Ziltoid
Oh yes, absolutely collective, indeed. You should have seen me
I was in and out like the wind! Indeed. She shall never suspect a thing!
Collective
We hope so, for your sake
We cannot risk intergalactic war with Titan. Where is the Poozer now?

Narrator:
Up to this point, Ziltoid has had his back turned to the Poozer… but he makes a break for it

Collective
Quickly, Ziltoid, show us the Poozer!
Ziltoid
Yes, of course, I’ve kept a very close eye on him… err…

(We are all in line and we are all prepared to die)

Ziltoid
Gadzooks! HE’S GONE!

Narrator:
Through the cold abyss of space, the little Poozer races home

Ziltoid
Collective! I’m sure that he was right here… computer!
Computer
Commander?
Ziltoid
Please tell me where the Poozer is now
Computer
Current location of the Poozer: directly through the wormhole
Ziltoid
Hmmmm… well… poop

Narrator:
Through the wormhole, the Poozer has arrived back on Titan
He reports to his mother, the war princess, what he has seen, and that it was Ziltoid who had abducted him
Now the War Princess is a beautiful, vain, and rather grumpy creature
She lusts for power, and though she is the mother of countless Poozers, her vanity has made her rather revolted by these «children» of hers
She is devious; and knows that she can utilize their blind love and devotion to create a formidable army
We see now her missing Poozer as it enters her chambers
