Story (by Aaron M. Prado) from album liner (for corresponding parts):
Passage I
This story begins and ends with dust, and the man staring at that dust. With a bell resonating in the distance, he sat back in his chair. As it continually rang, the count down began. Each second was keeping time with the rings. His heart raced as the seconds closed in. He sat there in silence with noise surrounding him, as the dust seemingly danced in the illuminating glow of the morning sun. The dust appeared to float free from the pull of the Earth. Soon, he too, would be doing just that, floating free.

Movement I
The needle stung and the liquid burned cold, as his veins filled with the drowsy cocktail. The long trip would be over in a few blinks of an eye, except for him. His nightmare occurs again. The blue stones on the pass-way turn to dingy red. The crystal blue sky over head shrinks away, and is swallowed up by a new heaven, as red as his sins. Forever being chased by the vicious dogs of his past. Falling asleep with a blue planet on the horizon and waking to the small red orb below.

Movement II
The sunlight stretched forth across the planet and began a gentle nuzzle against the shuttle; so elegantly named Kingdom. Life soon returned as Kingdom's heart began pumping with activity, as the astronauts filled its veins. The descent was rocky and terrifying to everyone. Passing next to Phobos, Mars's ring, they watched the in-fall of meteoric dust plummet along side them, the once former moon. Like the hosts of angels falling to the ground, wingless. Each one gleaming as they lit up against the red backdrop. A private showing, the likes of which may never be seen again.
