I. Introduction

"November 1, 2552 A.D. The spaceship Evilzone arrives on Nuquledom, a bizar-

re planet located 600 billion miles, 10 and a half to the equator... sinist-

er forces abide by moonlight as scientists devise plots to detonate human desires and brutality amongst space travelers in the best interest of the solar system... In the darkest regions of dark space, slayers, offenders and

alien abductors are taking over Nuquledom, having slain humans and extrater-

restrial beings by stalking brains and facing fear amongst the farest areas

of this dreadful plante, the torture affecting their fate will be destroyed

by sinister extraterrestrial masterminds - eventually destroying the whole

planet, not only by chance, but by nuclear annihilation."

"As the solar system evolves into one curiosity-conscious force of death,

the end of the world will take place for 3,450 years and 2,700 centuries...

forcing Nuquledom on certain areas of attack... for billions of weeks, days

and months."

And now, the destruction of Nuquledom begins.

II. 2552 Overture (Instrumental)(20-minute version)

III. Truce Over Agony

Death and darkness are all around this planet

Everytime the planet explodes quickly in a future time

For each bullet of plutonium being hit there

Evil is the enemy of indestructible decline

For this is the kingdom and we are the troubleshooters

Truce over agony will reign again - forever

Our society changes constantly

Torture is within life's hidden reach

This time, extraterrestrials turn head around the earth

And continue turning them around without terminal breach

For this is the kingdom and we are the troubleshooters

Truce over agony will reign again - forever

IV. The Cranial Clock

"To think, the planet Nuquledom has evolved into an indestructible village

- a world of the extraterrestrial underground where human and other adversa-

ries attack. As I enter the experimental intergalatic development center...

known as the National Association for Planetary Research... My partner in planetary combat has completed the development of a experimental space trav-

el adventure policy. He tells me when this scheme happens over the next few

years as scientists and mercenaries began the 52,000-week intergalatic batt-

leground. What the sciensts come up with will be the creation of the crani-

al clock."

"As the battle for control of the Ideatric System begins in honest, the

destruction of Nuquledom is carried out by the forces of evil... the wrath

of Nuquledom will be completed in 52,000 weeks; death is surrounded by the

inquisities of the National Association for Planetary Research by hard ways - doing everything the interrogators have in their power to survive."

Most often, by the sinister forces of evil in Nuquledom

Having performed their random acts of brutal distraction

What matters most likely, should they destroy the entire planet of life

No one is safe because of galatiic annihilation

We hold the hands of the cranial clock of evil

What we have done in our battle for semantic freedom

We hold the hands of the cranial clock of evil

Just stare at the interplanetary man

He gives each man a helping hand

Join in the Brothership of Mind Control

And attack each other by slamming intergalactic windfall

We hold the hands of the cranial clock of evil

What we have done in our battle for semantic freedom

We hold the hands of the cranial clock of evil

Pessimism is falling as time slips away

Every space travel is being implanted with a computer chip

The travails of hell is as vital as it is brutal

No attention contact within every day

IIV. Interrogation Conspiracy Trap

"In June of 2553, the National Association for Planetary Research is em-

barking on a plan to detonate Nuquledom, as spaceship pilots continue their

battle for semantic combat during the first year of the annihilation of the

planet."

"For the slayers of human bodies, alien invaders attack the psychological

mystique found deep inside the realm of death. Nuquledom's commander in chief, Rex Nuclear, Ph.D., devises an early warning conspiracy that allows

Nuquledom to be blown up piecemeal within the next few decades."

V. Death Kills The Planet

"Even now distraction erupts again as the forces of danger dangle along

Nuquledom and the 25 planets of the Ideatric System by detonating all areas

of this dreadful community of extraterrestrial life. In the kingdom of inde-

structiveness, torture, death and greed subside in harmony as the annihilat-

ion of Nuquledom continues in the year 2557."

"What happens to visitors when they land on Nuquledom will see a great deal

of intergalatic fears and brutal straits of hell. I must oppose the abductor

and the scientist battling for control of the Ideatric System; and the fears

concerning Nuquledom are in flux as troubleshooters duke their traits of hell as the senses of sight, taste, hearing and touching coexsist."

"Let the destruction of the Ideatric System continue..."

Shoot the laws of gravity in space

Shoot stars directing interplanetary grace

Go after the darkness in the galaxy

Destroy all inhuman thought and reveal the alien enemy

Know what space travelers believe in humanity

What happens to the planetary straits affecting our society

Shoot back at torture and run all fear around

Not for the sake of heart, making for the last guy abound

Shoot back at the enemy behind enemy lines

Heating up controversy concerning inhuman decline

Under attack, slayers have been executed

Not by force, but by abduction

Face your intergalatic fears, vying to face destruction

VI. 2552 Overture (15-Minute Finale)
