Ziltoid! The omniscient!

(AHHH!!! OOO!!! AAA!!!)

Greetings hu-mans. I... am Ziltoid... the omniscient...

I have come far from across the omniverse. You... shall fetch me... your universe's ultimate cup of coffee... black.

You have 5 Earth minutes...
Make it perfect!

Ziltoid-
I command, my dominion...
Every heart, and all opinion.
Hide me, guide me, dry my tears...
Slowly taking back the years.
By your command!!!
(Ziltoid's cronies:) 'By your command!!!'
By your comrades!

Know I know all I am and we are not, we are not to blame,
For all I have known, we are all, we are all the same.

Over and over and over and over and over and over again!!!

Touch it, take it... make it your friend!

You have not convinced mighty Ziltoid... I am so omniscient... if there were to be two omnisciences, I would be both!
Prepare yourself for the subjugation!

Hide me, guide me, dry my tears by your command!!! Slowly taking back...

Now I know, all I ask is... we are not, we are not to blame
For all I have learned now, we are not the same!

Over and over and over and over and over and over again!!!

Oh, the physical race... you're dying
Oh, with physical grace.

Gone too far for the universe. Gone too far for the way on home. Gone too far for the universe, the universe...

I'm flying... over physical,
I'm flying... over physical waste.
I'll keep it live, and stay awake.

The Beav - Now, being hailed as the ultimate fourth dimensional guitar hero, Ziltoid feels confident in his complete victory. But Captain Spectacular has seen through Ziltoid's facade, and now sets out to expose Ziltoid for what he really is... a nerd. A nerd.

...We now join Captain Spectacular as he introspectively gazes out his starship window on his way to find the fifth dimensional Nebulowenine...

Captain Spectacular - Did you know that time is not a straight line, everything that you learn, now it's gone, gone away.
You take your turn. If you choose, you burn. Everything that you were, now it's gone, gone away...
Yeah it's gone gone away...
The Crew - Yeah it's gone gone away...
C.S - Gone, and the world is gone, and we find there's no one that's waiting for the light to call, and we're on our own, and we find there's no one that's waiting for the light to call...
The Crew - And we're on your own, and we find there's no one that's waiting for the light to call...
C.S - I must rise, I must find a way... for this..Ziltoid must surely pay.
My fellow humans... I, Captain Spectacular, hereby give my good word.
(Yeah it's gone, gone away...)

Solar winds blow, through my unconscionable mind.
Solar winds blow, through my unconscionable mind
Say it again, say it again, words are useful weapons
Say it again and again and again and again and again and again!!!

Ziltoid - Hey, don't let her down, you let her into my world...
Hey, you'll never learn, you've let her into my mind.
Hold the soul, the solar winds blowing cold.
Hey, you'll never learn, you've let her into my world, sew the makings of your untold, the solar winds, the solar winds blowing cold.

Lieutenant Squiggles - Commander Ziltoid, permission to speak...
Z - Granted...
LS - It appears as if Captain Spectacular and the remaining humans have set a course towards the benevolent hive mind Nine...
Z - Indeed!!!

Come to me, you know I'm right... come to me, into the night,
Knowing we are right behind the solar winds, the solar winds blowing cold.

Ziltoid - After them!!!

(Solar winds blowing cold...)

Captain Spectacular - He's gaining on us! Hyperdrive!!! Put it in hyperdrive!!!

Ensign Scoopy - Commander Ziltoid, the humans are no longer on our radar!
Ziltoid - Whhaaat? They must have jumped into hyperdrive... Phooey!!! Indeed...Phooey!!! Until we meet again Commander...

So cold, in the night, where the river flows, where the river flows.
So cold, in the night, where the river flows, where the river flows.

Sail away, hey, I'm sorry; every day is a new day.

Hooray for love, hey, I'm lonely,
Trying to find a new way.

So cold, in the night, where the rivers slow, say the river's slow,
So cold, in the night, where the rivers slow, say the river's slow,
So cold...

Connect!

So cold, in the night, hold on, hold on
So cold, in the night, hold on, hold on

Sail away, hey I'm sorry; every day's a new day,

Hooray for love, hey I'm lonely,
Try and be on your way,
On your way, on your way
On your way,

She loves me not

[Narrator]
Having made their way through space, Captain Spectacular and his intrepid crew have arrived in Nebulo Nine.
Unbeknownst to the humans, Ziltoid has also arrived!

[Ziltoid]
Haha! Surprise!

N9 Monks-
Nebulowanine!
Nebulowanine!
Nebulowanine!
Nine nine nine nine nine nine nine!

Nebulowanine - Say to me eternally, explain to me infinity

Nebulowanine!
Nebulowanine!
Nebulowanine!
Nine nine nine nine nine nine nine!

Nebulowanine - Stay with me, eternally... explain to me infinity

So calm yet so volatile yet so powerful

N9 and Ziltoid -

It's so beautiful!
...So beautiful,
Yet so vulnerable...
I guess it's alright...
...it's alright!

Ziltoid - I feel so vulnerable...
You have not seen the last of me! You have not seen the last of Ziltoid!

Ziltoid - Yes, I feel like a bit entertainment. Time to destroy a planet... which one shall it be? This one? No. Too feeble... this one, yes perhaps, yes. Indeed, this one shall do nicely.
Commander!
Commander Squizloid - Yes, Captain Ziltoid?
Ziltoid - Divert all the power from the main engines to the front guns...
Commander Squizloid - Yes, Captain Ziltoid. Will there be anything else?
Ziltoid - Take 90% of the surplus power, and divert it towards the sonar awakening device.
Commander Squizloid - Aye aye, Captain.
Ziltoid - We must summon the 6th dimensional Planet Smasher. I feel like a bit of fun... Summon him!

Herman, the Planet Smasher - Who dares awaken the Planet Smasher?!
Ziltoid - It is I, the 4th dimensional Ziltoid the Omniscient!
Herman, the planet smasher -
Cherish the mind
Color your mind
Cherish your mental sanctum

Cower to war
Cower toward
Cower to war on the Earth!
Cursed to be by the sun
Power denotes you're the only one who channels the mind
Channels the mind
Channels the mind of the Earth!
Cherish the pain
Cherish the name
Cherish your mental weaponry
Cower toward
Cower toward
Cowards remain on the Earth

Tell me what you want from me!

Ziltoid and his cronies -

All I want to be is the universe
Parallel to beings around all of us
Conduit to see through the omniverse
Letting the bombs go into tomorrow

Pull! (Smasher!)
Pull! (Smasher)
Bow to the valley below!
Bow down! (Smasher!)
Pull! (Smasher)
Bow to the valley below!

The Hippies of Virtual World72 - Please do not release the Planet Smasher, mighty Ziltoid.
We mean you no harm!

P-p-p-p-p-p-pull! (Smasher!)
Pull! (Smasher)
Bow to the valley below!
Bow down! (Smasher!)
Pull! (Smasher)
Bow to the valley below!

Ziltoid and his cronies -

All I want to be is the universe
Parallel to beings around all of us
Conduit to see through the omniverse

Begone!!! Foul pest, and by the way, the name's Herman... and I hate musicals!

The Beav - Having been rejected by the Planet Smasher, Ziltoid seeks the council of the omni dimensional creator...

Z- Assuage my confusion about creation and the universe!
Creator - Yo Ziltoid! What's up dude? Long time no see, although I see everything... what's on yer mind, bro?
Z- Modular forms and elliptic curves! Infinite phi revolving around infinite parallels, fractals of infinite reality, each cascading, gliding in an infinite wheel! Tell me the true nature of my reality!
Creator - You gotta chill man...

See how the ways of the world keep lying to me
See how the weight of the world keeps lying on me
Sooner or later the nights with the satyr
Will bring back the memory in time

See how the sight of it all keeps flying to me
Years of the power of all he's trying to be

Who's the weakest now?
Caught up in the wire,
I'm already gone,
Who's the weakest?

I concede to life to do whatever I need.
What's in a life, but bodies?

So confusing, confounding!

I'm Ziltoid!!! I don't give a shit!
I live above Earth in a big rocket ship!
I'm Ziltoid! The horror! The horror!
I'm Ziltoid! The horror! The horror!
The horror!
I'm Ziltoid! The horror! The horror!
The horror!

far far far away...

Stay at home for me, you and I are free
To love, by the firewall tune out, for a while

Stay at home for me, come alive are we [Ziltoid, the Omniscient...]
In time, you'll be gone again, tune out for a while...

Say I'm wasting all my life,
Say I'm wasting time...

Stay at home for me, you and I are free, [Ziltoid, the Omniscient!]
To love...

So in the end, it's beautiful. It's beautiful
Yes in the end, it's beautiful. So beautiful...

You say you wanna know?
You say you wanna take it down?
You say you wanna know, no no?
Well, now's the only time!
Are you sure you wanna know?
Are you sure you wanna take it down?
Are you sure you wanna go, go, go?

You're a puppet!

You are a puppet!
You are a puppet!
You are a puppet!
You are a puppet!

I am a puppet!
I am a puppet!
I am a puppet!
I am a puppet!

We are all puppets!
We are all puppets!

Stay away from the unknown
Stay away from me for a while, unknown...
You give me all your heart, you give me all your heart for me
It's the greys again I know, I know.
And it's a sinister game they play, I know... I know.
You give me all your heart, give me all your heart for me.

And the world it gets so loud
And when they start to tear you apart
You were right, you were always right
Ready or not here I come!!!

And the greys flood our memories in the long haul
Can the greys wash away?

Chaos!

And the world it gets so loud
And when they start to tear you apart
You were right, you were always right there
Ready or not here I come!!!

And the greys flood our memories in the long haul
And the greys flood our memories in the long haul
And the greys flood our memories in the long haul
And the greys flood our memories in the long haul

(Man:) …And the greys flood our memories, In the long haul…
(Boss:) Hey Slacker! Wake up! We got people standing here in line; you're sitting there daydreaming. C'mon we got two venti white chocolate mochas, a tall Americano and a grande cappuccino! C'mon get your butt in gear! C'mon!
(Man:) oh…sorry…sorry…sorry. OK, two um...
(Customer:) Excuse me.
(Man:) Grande…frappe…shit...
(Customer:) Excuse me.
(Man:) Yeah, yeah.
(Customer:) Excuse me sir, I believe I ordered a decaf, non fat, no whip, sugar free, vanilla flavoured latte…
(Boss:) Hey slacker! Get to work! We got people lined up out the door over here, c'mon! We got two venti white mochas, a grande cappuccino and a tall latte! Let's go! Move it!

[Intro "Don't Know Why" bonusmaterial]

[This part that Ziltoid presents is a compulation of 2 songs from the band "Soilwork". The first is called "I, Vermin" and the other is called "Sick Heart River", both from the album "Sworn to a Great Divide".]

Signal, high and low!
They bring the tooth and nail!
Fast or slow.
Will you give me one dammit second to bail out of reach,
Before I do as you please... Times two!

Cause I might be wrong,
Am I the only one who sees the damage is done?
And it wont be long before I loose my faith and make a run
And become like you!

Indeed!

I will make another plan to find what is left, and nothing less!
Still, I won't thread, I find my own way and make it all worthwhile!

Call, call on me darkness!
Wait, wait on me now!
Wont you say, say that I'm sorry.
Cause I wont wait!

So I found another form, it's breathing life!
It must have been there the whole time when I was dead,
Cause I was pledged to emptiness!
And now I let myself to see all the things I just didn't expect!

Still, I remember!
Still, I repent!
I never walked thought the nether despite my decent!

Reborn,
Acknowledging the past of me that was lost.
I have repressed too many years!
My utopia was within my grasp!
Doomed in absentia!
Left to be sentenced!
Still rising to cherish all the things I have left.

Call, call on me darkness!
Wait, wait on me now!
Wont you say, say that I'm sorry.
Cause I wont wait!

Indeed!

[An interview with a French interviewer.]

[The next part that Ziltoid quotes is originally from essay from "Alan Watts" called "The New Achemy" in which he was asked by a psychiatric research group to take 100 micrograms of lysergic acid, just to see whether it would reproduce anything resembling a mystical experience.]

This is it!
Colors became so vivid that flowers, leaves, and fabrics seemed to be illumined from inside.
The random patterns of blades of grass in a lawn appeared to be exquisitely organized without, however, any actual distortion of vision.
Black ink or sumi paintings by Chinese and Japanese artists appeared almost to be three dimensional photographs, and what are ordinarily dismissed as irrelevant details of speech, behavior, appearance, and form seemed in some indefinable way to be highly significant.
Listening to music with closed eyes, I beheld the most fascinating music; Patterns of dancing jewelry, mosaic, tracery, and abstract images.
At one point everything appeared to be uproariously funny, especially the gestures and actions of people going about their lives and everyday business actions.
Ordinary remarks seemed to reverberating with double and quadruple meanings, and the role-playing behavior of those around me not only became unusually evident but also implied concealed attitudes contrary or complementary to the overt intention.
In short, the screening or selective apparatus of our normal interpretative evaluation of experience had been partially suspended, with the result that I was presumably projecting the sensation of meaning or significance upon just about everything. The whole experience was vastly entertaining and interesting, but as yet nothing like any mystical experience that I had had before.
Indeed.
