The New Migrator

Atomically into existence
A creator of life was born
This universal migrator
In his celestial form
Astronomical segmentation
A division from which I came
To go forth with a task bestowed me
And seek out new worlds for all
Fly up into the skies
A sea of blue has crossed thine eyes
A quest to save mankind is made
Just one earthly being, his soul shall remain
My power of thought calls you
Sleeper! Sleeper awake, oh you sleeper!
Open your mind, hear me, sleeper!
Sleeper awake, come alive!
Our spirits, they can never die!
A cataclysmic end for many
Annihilated Earth to the core
But one soul survives in stasis
A colonist's spirit the source
You're the one not I, the chosen
With visions, a bright new dawn
To cross the starlit systems
A place where new planets are born
Rise up, you must awake
The here and now shall separate
The body frees the soul and mind
Your spirit will join me in time
My power of thought calls you
Sleeper! Sleeper awake, oh you sleeper!
Open your mind, hear me, sleeper!
Sleeper awake, come alive!
Our spirits, they can never die!
Sleeper! Sleeper awake, oh you sleeper!
Dormant inside, hear me, sleeper!
Sleeper awake, come alive!
Your body is dead, not your mind!
There's a world you can see from your mind!
Rise up, you must awake
The here and now shall separate
The body frees the soul and mind
The spirit's alive
My power of thought calls you
Sleeper! Sleeper awake, oh you sleeper!
Open your mind, hear me, sleeper!
Sleeper awake, come alive!
Our spirits, they can never die!
Sleeper! Sleeper awake, oh you sleeper!
Dormant inside, hear me, sleeper!
Sleeper awake, come alive!
Your body is dead, not your mind!
Sleeper awake, come alive!
Come alive!
Sleeper awake, there's a world waiting for you to find!
