This track highlights a small piece of a big story about the possible future of our planet where human spaceflight is forsaken and the Earth is overpopulated. There is only one man who believes - salvation lies beyond the sky - academician Zakharov, a representative of the Planetary Academy of Sciences.


[Academician]

People who are in charge - they're afraid to fly
Out of our planet far beyond the sky

People who are around strolling day by day
Meaningless their lives will fade

People who are seeking for the brand new thought
In the pointless TV-spot

[Academician] As I'm sitting at my workshop 
[Cinemagnate] Hello, ladies and gentlemen, we called academician Zakharov
to answer your questions

[Academician] Gazing up the stars
[Cinemagnate] Our listeners really want to know: is that true…

[Academician] Understanding there's no future
[Cinemagnate] …that we shall travel far space and create a colony, to seed new life?

[Academician] Only future wars…
[Cinemagnate] And it seems you do not have many followers...

[Believer]
Bright words, my son. Bright words…

I wonder are you sure about the things you say
I see but a broken man who lost his way

There is a master plan that you will never get
I sense your evil and your threat

[Believer] I ask now everyone who can hear my voice
[Crowd] We hear you!
[Believer] Will you believe this man and his bitter course?
[Crowd] No, no, no, no!

[Academician] As I’m sitting here before you
[Cinemagnate] Oh, that was impressive! What can you reply, Mr. Zakharov?

[Academician] I’ll be glad if I am wrong
[Cinemagnate] Folks, I ask you! Stay calm! Please, stay calm!
[Crowd] We say you no! We say you no!

[Academician] But I see an upcoming ending 
[Cinemagnate] Oh my gosh! Commercial break! Now!
[Crowd] We say you no! We say you no!

[Academician] To the one we all belong…
[Cinemagnate] We have a situation here! We have a sit…

[Believer]
Brothers! Brothers and sisters!
Today! Today we faced the greatest enemy!
And we shall not step back!

[Academician]

And it's all right until it works
Consumer is happy wondering at the mall
Grade the school and get the job
Serve for servants, no one gets this joke
