DESCRIPTION:
Montreal's Voivod has long been heralded as an innovative and visionary force within the world of extreme music. For more than 25 years, the band has performed Heavy Metal alchemy by fusing various strains of thrash, punk, hardcore, progressive, and psychedelia to create some of the most engaging, provocative, and, oft times, surprisingly accessible music of their day. Founding members Denis "Piggy" D'Amour (guitar), Denis "Snake" Bélanger (vocals), Jean-Yves "Blacky" Thériault (bass), and Michel "Away" Langevin (drums) started out with the concept of the Voivod, a futuristic warrior/overlord whose exploits would be chronicled in the band's lyrics and artwork -- the latter of which has been created solely by Away. Over the course of their 12 albums, Voivod has pushed its musical sci-fi story to the end of infinity and re-emerged, reinvented, and revitalized itself countless times over and remains a respected name in circles where quality music and ideas, not gimmicks and trends, are held in high esteem.

Lyrics :

Listen! Listen to me! Can't you hear me?!!
Listen! I beg of you!!
I have escaped the one who rules deep in space
He knows my name, I know his game
Now that I'm here, he will know where I am...
And he will get you too!!
And he will make you believe whatever he wants
Inside your brain, he'll play his game

Listen now!
Please! Don't you believe/whatever he says... whatever he says...

I'm no preacher, I'm no space cowboy
I'm no flash in the pan!!
Don't you know that you have another thing coming?
You are not safe, here in this place
Are you aware you face your lat dead line?
I am here to warn you... President X-D will be on your TV
Electron waves, a pixel face

Listen now!
Please! Don't you believe/whatever he says... whatever he says...

You will never switch him off, when you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff, he's well organized

He gets around...

Listen to me, it's not easy... to let you be
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away
My words are clear, we can't stay here... what do you fear?
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away

You, people of this world, be prepared to greet Me
You, people of this world, you will submit to Me!

Deep into my third eye, you are getting sleepy
Deep into my third eye, now you belong to Me!

Now! Is the time, together we can change this place.. for the.. better

Now, focus on my voice, will you do it for me?
Now, focus on my voice, yes you will do it for me!

I'll give you everything, but you must come to me
I'll give you everything, but you'll have to join me!

Now! Is the time, together we can change this place.. for the.. better

You will never switch him off, when you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff, he's well organized

X-D is coming... the sky is changing
X-D is coming... my head is spinning

And what about Hydra, Sirrah, Pollux and Gemma...
Diadem, Bellatrix, Mirach, Izar...

Lies are what we once knew, time to live something new, hey hey
We can no longer take things for granted
We can no remember what we wanted, hey hey
We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore, he is what we're living for
We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore... not anymore...

More than tears fill my eyes, as bright ships dot the sky
More than fear is in sight, as moon and sun stand by... and cry

So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends
X-D is now in control, making plans for His new home

Fate lights me from within, to the stars I'm fleeing
Earth heeds not my warning, forever sleepwalking... dreaming

So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends
Maybe one day, time will tell, I'll be back and break the spell...
I'll break the spell... break the spell...
