The Missing Time of Admiral Byrd Lyrics

It's not like the Admiral to go missing for so long

Had fuel for an hour, now it's three that he's been gone

The radio makes strange noises

Yes, it works, but somethings wrong

Our back up plane has been destroyed

Can't explain what we saw

I think that I see him

Appears to be unscathed

Wait till they debrief him

How will he explain?

Something happened out there, he's not been the same

Command us to return at once

Or declare us insane

He's met with the master, who's enlightened him, he claims

He sees what humanity is headed for these days

Tells us to change course or else we'll suffer the same fate

If it's true we've yet to see, suppose we'll have to wait

No longer in control, showing their true strength

Best to stay obedient and do just what they say

It's of little consequence who I choose to tell

Set in motion some events, more secrets they can sell

You'll tell us everything, and then you'll never speak of it again

We'll destroy this fortress, and everything that lies within

Your employment is with us, your loyalty is too

Your deployment's such a secret, would anybody really miss you?

How did this mission take such a strange turn?

Now I'm conflicted, do I tell them what I've learned?

Are they gonna strip me of this rank that I've earned?

Do they already know, they don't seem too concerned

They already know, they don't seem too concerned

They already know, they don't seem too concerned

Guess I've gotta keep this all to myself

Gotta tell someone

I'll just write it down
