Ayreon High Moon Lyrics

High Moon Lyrics

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
Here’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

Storyteller: Dan
Worker: Russell (+ad libs last
chorus)
Wife: Floor
Marshal: Damian
