When the Stars Are Right

STUDIO

[long Harmonized Twin Guitar Intro] [Verse 1] "And tell me, Captain Violet, why the rush to leave this place" "Hush, soldier, hush and listen," a fierce look upon her face "I bring orders from our leaders, ready your ships soon For the fleets must be assembled when the stars are right with the moon" [Chorus 1] When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) For the fleets must be assembled when the stars are right with the moon [long melodic instrumental flourish, overdriven Twin Guitar Lead] [Verse 2] "And tell me, Captain Violet, where the anchor point will be" "At the old base by the nebula; known to both you and me" "One more signal to remember; set your comms to seven forty-two With your hardpoints primed and ready when the stars are right with the moon" [Chorus 2] When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) With your hardpoints primed and ready when the stars are right with the moon [long melodic instrumental break] [Verse 3] Out from many a hidden station; eyes were watching through the night Many a pilot's heart was beating for the call to start the fight Signals rang along the never more to the black's lonely rim And a thousand ships were flashing by the stars' alignment dim [Chorus 3] When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) And a million ships were flashing by the stars' alignment dim [long instrumental break: anthemic lead guitar solo] [long instrumental break: anthemic lead guitar solo] [long instrumental break: twin lead guitar solo] When the stars are right (when the stars are right) When the stars are right (when the stars are right) [long instrumental break: lead guitar solo] [long instrumental break: twin lead guitar solo] [long instrumental break: lead guitar solo] [long instrumental break: twin lead guitar solo] [build] [Verse 4] All along the cosmic rivers that dark mass of fleets alive High above their gleaming hulls their banners five by five Death to every foe and traitor! Tune your comms to the battle cry  And hoo-rah, my kin, for freedom, when the stars ignite to die [Chorus 4] When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) When the stars are right, (when the stars are right) And hoo-rah, my kin, for freedom, when the stars ignite to die [long instrumental break: twin lead guitar solo] [instrumental break: soaring lead guitar solo] [instrumental break: melodic lead guitar solo chases vocals] (And hoo-rah, my kin, for freedom!) [instrumental break continues, second guitar joins in for a dual call and answer solo based on the main melodic motif] (when the stars ig-nite-to DIE!!!) [end]
