The Changeling Songtext
von Five Year Mission

On ancient Earth, Jackson Roy Kirk
Created the space probe, NOMAD
To seek out new life in the ′verse
Once in the black, they lost all contact

NOMAD was hit by meteors
Drifted until he met "The Other"
An alien probe called Taun-Ru
Repaired as one, new directive executed

Sterilize, Sterilize, Sterilize all imperfections
Sterilize, Sterilize, Sterilize all imperfections
Sterilize, your facts are uncoordinated
We are NOMAD, We are NOMAD

Encountering Captain James Kirk
Mistaking him for the creator
NOMAD is beamed aboard the ship
The Enterprise crew don't quite get it


Scotty′s brought back after he dies
Uhura's singing gets her mind wiped
Spock mindmelds 'til NOMAD defies
To return to the point of origin, the Earth... to...

Sterilize, Sterilize, Sterilize all imperfections
Sterilize, Sterilize, Sterilize all imperfections
Sterilize, your facts are uncoordinated
We are NOMAD, We are NOMAD

Planning to take its leave of creator, The Kirk
All life will be wiped out should NOMAD reach the Earth
Destroying entities it deems imperfect, how
Was it changed, NOMAD states, "We are perpetual now"

Meeting the creator, The Kirk
Self-proclaimed biological unit
Kirk outwits NOMAD′s cold logic
Spock didn′t think he had it in him
NOMAD's made multiple errors
Believing Kirk is its creator
Self-destructs, and not to return
To the point of origin, The Earth... To...
SELF-DESTRUCTS, AND NOT TO RETURN
TO THE POINT OF ORIGIN, THE EARTH... TO...


Sterilize, Sterilize, Sterilize all imperfections
Sterilize, Sterilize, Sterilize all imperfections
Sterilize, your facts are uncoordinated
We are NOMAD, We are NOMAD
