Far away
This ship is takin' me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

The starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

And our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
And our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations, yeah
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold

    you know guys when you put the songs of the album in this order:

    take a bow soldiers poem map of the problematique starlight exo politics invincible assassin supermassive black hole hoodoo city of delusion knights of cydonia

    or at least when i do it i hear it like it was concept album, lemme explain: to me this album seems like the story of a soldier who in a distant future is sent in a war against an alien invasion... if you dont understand yet:

    take a bow: the soldier is recruited against his will by the army and is forced to make a promise and to take a bow showing respect. he then receives many years of training to become a soldier

    soldiers poem: its really simple... its the soldier writing a letter or poem to his girlfriend/wife

    map of the problematique: the soldier arrives at the base and the commander of his team explains him where he is going and what he has to do. then they fly out of the earth into outer space

    starlight: the soldier, while looking at the stars starts missing his family and hopes that they are ok

    exo-politics: the aliens start attacking the human spaceships and the soldier goes to fight

    invincible: the humans fight back the aliens and apparently win, feeling invincible and all mighty

    assassin: the leaders of the human are actually traitors and are running a conspiracy with the aliens to destroy mankind

    supermassive black hole: the human leaders give the order to the alien leaders fire their ultimate weapon... the black hole bomb

    hoodoo: the soldier, unaware of the conspiracy, saves himself from the bomb and earth gets destroyed by it

    city of delusion: the soldiers falls into delirium after realizing his friends and family are dead and that now he is alone in space

    knights of cydonia: aliens find the human in space and feel empathy for him, so then they bring him into their planet and the soldier realizes he had the right to fight against he war itself and, finally lives the rest of his life with a race that actually knows that peace cannot be find threw war, but threw knowledge...

    well that my opinion what do you guys think
