You are amidst the sea of Irkens aboard the Massive. You wait eagerly for what is to come. The lights dim slightly and the crowd goes insane. The announcer hovers over you.

"Welcome! You are the chosen few who are about to witness what you are about to see!" the crowd continues to go crazy. "Pump your fists and kick up some dirt as I bring you…Your Almighty TALLEST! Hit it!"

The music starts up and the lights darken all the way. And when the house lights come on, Red and Purple are standing back to back with microphones in their claws. And then, taking turns in a classic 'I'm better than you are' fashion, they start to sing, Red starting off…

"My cock is much bigger than yours!"

"My cock can walk right threw the door!"

"With the feeling so pure!"

"It's got you screaming back for…"

Then they both sing the chorus…

"Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR!
Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR…"

Then back to the 'back and fourth'…

"My shit stinks much better than yours!"

"My shit stinks right back through the floor!"

"With the feeling so pure!"

"It's got you coming back for…"

"Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR
Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR
Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR
Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR"

Then Red goes back to singing solo.

"Can't you see that I love my cock? Lalalalalalalala
Can't you see that you love my cock? Lalalalalalalala
Can't you see that we love my cock? Lalalalalalalala

Lalalalalalalala

Lalalalalalalala"

Then back to the duet.

"We're the regulators that de-regulate!
We're the animators that de-animate!
We're the propagators of all genocide!
Burning through the world's resources, then we turn and hide!

Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR!
Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR!
We're the regulators that de-regulate!
We're the animators that de-animate!

Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR!
Cool! In denial,
We're the cruel regulators smoking
CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR!"

And for the final verses, they sing together in perfect harmony…

"My cock is much bigger than yours!
My cock can walk right through the door!
With a feeling so pure!
It's got you screaming back for more!"

When the Tallest had finished, the lights went out again, leaving the whole Irken armada with their mouths agape and utterly flabbergasted…But then they went wild, cheering and screaming and just plain having a good time. There was much moshing and crowd surfing…It was much like Ozzfest… Oo;

The lights came on very dim as the music began to play, onstage, the Tallest were gone, leaving only some smoke in their wake…wait…the Tallest didn't use any smoke…then all of a sudden, there was a flash of lightning and some pyrotechnics, and Alter Dib appeared on the stage out of no where. (Ozzy fans, this is for joo!) He began to sing right as he appeared.

"So sick and tired of living…
And so afraid to die…
I've lived so many lives…
And still I wonder why…
The way the world perceives me…
Is not the way I am…
The one half thinks I'm crazy…
The other thinks I'm mad…

I spent a long, long time alone in my room…
I need your help to get me out of this gloom…

Can you hear them?
All the voices in my head…
They freak me out…
Can you hear them?
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead…
They freak me out…

Ten thousand million nightmares…
Temptation by the score…
I used to get so high…
And still I wanted more…
You think my time is wasted…
In search of who I am…
I tried to so hard to kill…
The boy inside the man…

I spent a thousand years one night in my room…
I've lived so many lives and that is my doom…

Can you hear them?
All the voices in my head…
They freak me out…
Can you hear them?
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead…
They freak me out…
Can you hear them?
All the voices in my head…
They freak me out…
Can you hear them?
They won't be happy 'till I'm dead…
They freak me out…

I never thought I'd smile again…
Always thought I'd be here on my own…
Sometimes when I'm down…
You come and save me again…
And again…
And again…
And again…

I'll never understand it…
It makes no sense at all…
Just look at what I've done…
It's time to count the score…

I've spent a long, long time alone in my room…
I need your help to get me out of this gloom…

When he finished, another bolt of lightning and more pyrotechnics and he was gone. Then the stage became black once more. The crowd was in an uproar over Alter Dib and everyone was cheering.

Then, the music begins to play and the pyrotechnics return, only it's a steady low flame on all parts of the stage. The back drop looks like a demented cave, with demons hiding behind rocks and flames. Then, someone walks out of the flames, in all his evil glory, Evil Dib stands tall in his very fitting surroundings. The Irkens in the crowd start to boo at the sight of him.

"Shut up!" shouted evil Dib at the audience, while the unfamiliar tune started to pick up a bit.

"You're looking at me. Why?
Sort of like a leper vibe…
Okay for your kind…
But it's too good for me…

And a Hey! I know I'm
Never gonna qualify,
For all the bullshit
Of your social degrees!

Oh, look down your noses at me!
Hating my identity…
Oh, but that don't mean a damn thing you see!
'Cause down here in hell everybody loves me!

Hey I know I'm anti-social…
'Cause you act like I'm infected…
With some atrocity….

And though I know I'm
Every bit the same inside…
My face don't fit
It's like I've got some disease…

Oh, you keep your face turned away…
To strip me of identity…
Oh, still got my fortune and fame…
'Cause down here in Hell everyone knows my name…

Hell is home to me!
Might as well be!
I like it here and no-one else invited me!
Hell is home to me!
It has to be! ('cause Jesus Christ)
Nobody else invited me!

Now I belong!
I found my home!
'Cause even though I know things won't
Get any better, they can certainly never get much worse!

Say my whole life I've always been disliked,
Ignored unless you're spitting insults at me!
And I don't know why you felt so justified,
In all the degradation that you dished on me!

Oh! Now my status has changed!
And you've got yourself to blame!
Oh! I'll grab all the attention I crave!
Now I'm running Hell and Heaven won't be the same!

Hell is home to me!
Might as well be!
I like it here and no-one else invited me!
Hell is home to me!
It has to be! ('cause Jesus Christ)
Nobody else invited me!

Hell is home to me!

Might as well be!
I like it here and no-one else invited me!
Hell is home to me!
It has to be! ('cause Jesus Christ)
Nobody else invited me!"

As he finished he pointed an accusing metal finger at the audience and walked back into the fire, and disappeared. The stage went dark again and the fire stopped its wrathful lashing at the stage. The lights came back on and the backdrop was a school, the school that Dib and Zim went to. Dib was sitting on one of the prop benches as the beat began. There were cheers in support of Dib as he got up and started his song.

(Warped as he whispers and slowly gets louder.)

"Come,
Come,
Come,
Come,
Coming at you…
Come,
Coming at you…
Come,
Coming at you...

(Back to normal.)

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it,
The number one question is how could you ignore it"
We drop right back in the cut,
Over basement tracks,
With raps that got you backing this up like
Rewind that
We're just rollin' with the rhythm,
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division,
With these non-stop lyrics are life living,
Not to be forgotten, but still unforgiven,
But in the meantime, there are those
Who wanna talk this and that, so I suppose
It gets to a point feelings got to get hurt,
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
It goes...

Tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly, but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening…

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress,
Hand full of anger, held in my chest
And everything left's a waste of time,
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else's more…
I'm riding on the back of this pressure,
Guessing that it's better, I can't keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on,
But pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood, sweat and tears,
The uphill struggle over years, the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to,
And the people that started it, just like you…"

As he sings, he walks around the stage, just to do something different, and it worked for him. It seemed as though the crowd surfing and moshing became even more noticeable than before.

"Tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening…
Called to you so clearly, but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening…

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Hand full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood, sweat and tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
Hand full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood, sweat and tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
Heart full of pain,
Heart full of pain,
Heart full of pain...

Tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening …
Called to you so clearly, but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening…

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress…
Nobody's listening…
Hand full of anger, held in my chest…
Nobody's listening…
Uphill struggle, blood, sweat and tears…
Nobody's listening…
Nothing to gain, everything to fear…
Nobody's listening…

(Once again warped)

Come,
Come,
Come,
Come,
Come,
Coming at you…
Coming,
Coming,
Coming,
Coming,
Coming at you…
Come,
Coming,
Come,
Coming,
Coming at you…
Come,
Come,
Come,
Come,
Coming at you from every side..."

The stage becomes dark and the crowd cheers, wanting more of this odd ritual. And they soon did as the stage became lit and Alter Zim was standing there. The background was simple black and it made the stage look much darker than it really was. There were mixed feelings about Zim, but as the music began to play and he began to sing, all doubts washed away.

"It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone…

Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret, I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep, they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played…

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up, and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all my shame to the grave…

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone…

Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
And never moving forward so
There'd never be a past

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up, and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up, and take the blame I would,
I would take all my shame to the grave…

Just washing it aside,
All of the helplessness inside,
Pretending I don't feel misplaced,
It's so much simpler than change…

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone…

It's easier to run…

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made…

It's easier to go…

If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up, and take the blame I would,
I would take all the shame to the grave…"

The stage goes dark right as Alter Zim utters his last word. And before anyone could react, another beat started to play, and again, when the lights came one, it was still the simple black background, but this time, Zim stood there, and started to sing, walking about the stage as he did.

"I woke up in a dream today,
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday,
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy,
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back…

Its true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you…
You!
Now I see,
Keeping everything inside
With You…
You!
Now I see,
Even when I close my eyes…

I hit you and you hit me back,
We fall to the floor,
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that,
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
So, even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

It's true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you…
You!
Now I see,
Keeping everything inside
With You…
You!
Now I see,
Even when I close my eyes
With You…
You!
Now I see,
Keeping everything inside
With You…
You!
Now I see,
Even when I close my eyes…"

With the beat continuing on, there is much head bobbing and fist pumping for the audience.

"No!
No matter how far we've come,
I can't wait to see tomorrow!
No matter how far we've come I,
I can't wait to see tomorrow!
With you…

You!
Now I see,
Keeping everything inside…
With You…
You!
Now I see,
Even when I close my eyes…
With You…"

Then the stage goes black and the crowd goes wild! The next beat starts up and it's a fast paced moshing beat! (Woo!) The lights come on in a grey-blue haze color and there is a very large picture of Rob Zombie on the backdrop. Kumi walks around the stage singing in a low growl to give the song more effect.

"Shriek the lips
Across ragged tongue,
Convulsing together

Sing violently,

Move the jaw
Cry aloud!

Bound up the Dead
Triumphantly…

The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees…
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see….

Hey, Yeah! I'm the one that you wanted!
Hey, Yeah! I'm your Superbeast!
Hey, Yeah! I'm the one that you wanted!
Hey, Yeah! I'm your Superbeast!

Stir the limbs across the wrist,
Full possession of memory…
Bury me as a dog,
Icy hands surrounding me…

The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees…
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see…

Hey, Yeah! I'm the one that you wanted!
Hey, Yeah! I'm your Superbeast!
Hey, Yeah! I'm the one that you wanted!
Hey, Yeah! I'm your Superbeast!

Shriek the lips
Across ragged tongue,
Convulsing together

Sing violently,

Move the jaw
Cry aloud!

Bound up the Dead
Triumphantly…

The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees…
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see…

Hey, Yeah! I'm the one that you wanted!
Hey, Yeah! I'm your Superbeast!
Hey, Yeah! I'm the one that you wanted!
Hey, Yeah! I'm your Superbeast!"

The crowd definitely loves it, cheering an shouting in approval. The stage once again goes dark, and when it comes back to life, it had a nightlife scene on the backdrop. Amidst it all was 325, tail moving around as the music began to play, and the sea of Irkens were just having a ball.

"I move as fast as I can,
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman!
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the night life,
And they just step aside…
Cause when they see me coming,
They know I'm running wild!

Dead or alive there's nothing,
That bothers me at all
I take on all comers,
They back off or they fall
They raise their hands to stop me,
I laugh and I defy
Cause what's the point in living,
Unless you're living wild!

No chains can hold me down!
I always break away!
I never hear society,
Tell me what to do or say!
I taste the life that pleases me!
And raise a storm for all the world to see!
I never stumble, never fall,
Never stop for rest…
I rebel but I walk tall,
And I demand respect!

I move amongst the nightlife,
And they just step aside…
Cause when they see me coming,
They know I'm running wild!

I'm running wild!
I'm running wild!
Get outta my way!
I'm running wild!
I'm running wild!
You better believe it!"

The stage goes dark with the loud sounds of a very pleased audience. The lights come back up and 732 is standing there. There was some more booing and hissing from the audience. 732's 'song' is more of a monologue…

"What a skeletal wreck of man this is…

Translucent flesh and feeble bones
The kind of temple where the whores and villains
try to tempt the holistic tomes…

Running rampant with free thought to free form
in the free and clear…
And the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a Laundromat
to sift and focus on the bigger, better, now…

We all have a little sin than needs venting,
virtues for the rending
and laws and systems
and stems a rift from branches of office
do you know what your post entails?

Do you serve a purpose
or purposely serve?

Wind down inside of your atavistic allure
the value of a Summer spent
and a Winter earned…

For the rest of us there is always Sunday.
the day of the week that reeks of rest
but all we do is catch our breath
so we can wade naked into the bloody pool
and place our hand on the big black book.

To watch the knives zig-zag between our aching fingers…

A vacation is a count-down,
T minus your life and counting
time to drag your tongue across the sugar-cube
and hope you get a taste…"

Because he is one of the creatures who communicate telepathically, he can use this to his advantage and make it sound like the sound is coming from somewhere else.

"What the FUCK is all this for?" (From the left)

"What the hell's goin' on!" (From the right)
"SHUT UP!

I could go on and on, but, let's move on shall we?

Say, you're me and I'm you,
and they all watch the things we do
and like a smack of spite
they threw me down the stairs,
haven't felt like this in years,
the great magnet of malicious magnanimous refuse
let me go and
plunge me into the dead spot again…

That's where you go when there's no-one else around
its just you
and there was never anyone to begin with now was there?

Sanctimonious pretentious dastardly bastards
with their thumb on the pulse
and a finger on the trigger…

CLASSIFIED MY ASS! That's a FUCKING secret and you know it!

Government is another way to say
Better…
Than…
You…

Its like ice but no pick,
a murder charge that won't stick,
it's like a whole other world,
where you can smell the food
but you can't touch the silverware…

hah, what luck…
fascism you can vote for…
isn't that sweet…

and we're all gonna die some day,
'cuz that's the American way,
and I've drunk too much
and said too little,
when your gaffer taped in the middle
say a prayer, save face,
get yourself together and…

"see what's happening" (From the left)
"SHUT UP!" (From the center, a.k.a. 732…)

"FUCK YOU!" (From the left)
"FUCK YOU!

I'm sorry I could go on and on but,
it's time to move on so...

Remember, you're a wreck, an accident…
forget the freak, you're just nature…

Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean…
shit, snort and blaspheme…
Let the heads cool and the engine run…

Because in the end,
everything we do,
is just everything we've done..."

The lights go out again and there was murmuring about 'what that was all about?' and 'what the hell was he goin on about?' But when the lights came back on and it was 946 sitting on a stool with an acoustic guitar, the crowd started cheering again. 946 began to play and sing.

"It's cold outside I'm sensing fear…
My self control has disappeared…
I'm spinning out at each end,
Could you be kind and let me in?
Despite the writing on the wall,
My future's bleak and rather small…
That's all you could ever take from me,
I've got nothing to lose so let me be!

Well I sized you up your not that strong,
You're weak inside I knew all along…
This made up army you fight in your head,
Destroyed your worth and pronounced you dead…

Despite the writing on the wall,
My future's bleak and rather small…
That's all you could ever take from me,
I've got nothing to lose so let me be!

There's no more love!
There's no more love!
There' no more love for me and you!

Listen to me!
No more love!
There's no more love!
There' no more love for me and you!

Listen to me!

The cruelest joke that has played on me…
Is all planned out so I can't leave…
Now quietly I will walk away…
There is no bad blood but I can't stay…
There is no more love…

Because there is no more love…

Now, 946 gets up off his stool and struts around the stage as he sings. Bobbing his head and getting as close to the audience as he possibly can.

Despite the writing on the wall,
My future's bleak and rather small…
That's all you could ever take from me,
I've got nothing to lose so let me be!

There's no more love!
There's no more love!
There' no more love for me and you!

Listen to me!
No more love!
There's no more love!
There' no more love for me and you!

Listen to me!"

The lights go out and the crowd is just in hysterics over his performance. This new and odd music native to earth was definitely something to look into. The Irkens love every bit of it. The lights come on and the 'Saint Anger' logo is on the backdrop. Alter Dib is standing there, tapping his foot to the beat of the music that just started up.

"I won't go away…
Right, right here I stay…

Stand silent in flames…
Stand tall 'till it fades…

Shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…
C'mon, shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…
I said, shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…
C'mon, shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…

C'mon, Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
C'mon, Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
C'mon!

All the shots I take,
I spit back at you!
All the shit you fake,
Comes back to haunt you!

All the shots!
All the shots!
All the shots I take,
What difference did I make?
All the shots I take,
I spit back at you!
Haa…

I won't go away…

With a bullet in my back!
Right, Right here I stay…

With a bullet in my back!

Shoot me…
Take a shot!
Shoot me…
Take a shot!
Shoot me…
Take a shot!
Shoot me…
Take a shot!

I stand on my own…

With a bullet in my back!
I'm stranded and sold…

With a bullet in my back!

Shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…
C'mon, shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…
Yeah, shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…
C'mon, shoot me again,
I ain't dead yet…

I Said, Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
C'mon!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
C'mon!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me!
Shoot me again!
Shoot me again!
Yeah!"

Alter Dib does his best to get the audience involved more this time as he sings. He does a very good job of working a crowd. XD

"All the shots I take,
I spit back at you!
All the shit you fake,
Comes back to haunt you!

All the shots!
All the shots!
All the shots I take,
Hey, What difference did I make?

What difference did I make?
All the shots I take,
I spit back at you!

Bite my tongue…
Trying not to shoot back…
No compromise…
My heart won't pump the other way…

Wake the sleeping giant,
Wake the beast!
Wake the sleeping dog,
No, let him sleep...
Wake the sleeping giant,
Wake the beast!
Wake the sleeping dog,
No, let him sleep...

Bite my tongue…
Trying not to shoot back…

All the shots I take,
I spit back at you!

Yeah!
All the shit you fake,
Comes back to haunt you!

All the shots!
All the shots!
All the shots I take,
Hey, What difference did I make?

What difference did I make?
All the shots I take,
I spit back at you!"

He finishes with the official 'I love you' hand sign (it's the same thing as 'rock on/devil horns' but with an extended thumb.) and the stage goes dark. When the lights come back on the stage, Evil Dib is standing there, and there is more booing and hissing from the crowd. Evil Dib just growls before he begins to sing. (If you've seen the video for this song, the backdrop looks like the video…)

"Wish I was too dead to cry,
My self-affliction fades….
Stones to throw at my creator,
Masochists…
To which I cater…

You don't need to bother…
I don't need to be…
I'll keep slipping farther…
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'till it bleeds…

Wish I was too dead to care…
If indeed I cared at all…
Never had a voice to protest…
So you fed me shit to digest…
I wish I had a reason,
My flaws are open season,
For this I gave up trying,
One good turn deserves my dying…

You don't need to bother…
I don't need to be…
I'll keep slipping farther...
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'till it bleeds…

Wish I'd died instead of lived…
A zombie hides my face….
Shell forgotten with its memories…
Diaries left,
With cryptic entries…

And you don't need to bother…
I don't need to be…
I'll keep slipping farther…
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'till it bleeds,
You don't need to bother…
I don't need to be…
I'll keep slipping farther…
But once I hold on,
Once I hold on!
I'll never live down my deceit..."

This time, Evil Dib, just dropped the microphone and walked off stage. There was much murmur from the audience as the stage went dark. The lights come back on and it looks like a view from New York, The statue of Liberty was the main feature, but you could see Ellis Island and parts of New York City. And standing in the middle of the stage was Dib, nodding his head to the music and he began to sing.

"Conquest to the lover
And your love to the fire,
Permanence unfolding in the absolute,

Forgiveness is the!
Ultimate sacrifice,
Eloquence belongs!
To the conqueror…

The pictures of time and space are rearranged,
In this little piece of typical tragedy,

Justified candy!
Brandy for the nerves,
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror…

You and me
We'll all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a generation that didn't agree…

I forgot to,
I forgot to let you know that!

Justified candy,
Brandy for the nerves!
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror!

Conquest to the lover,
And your love to the fire,
Permanence unfolding in the absolute!

Forgiveness is the!
Ultimate sacrifice,
Eloquence belongs!
To the conqueror,

You and me
We'll all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a generation that didn't agree,

Generation..."

Dib also did his best to have the audience feel like they were part of something. He also walked around the stage, he seemed to be having just as much fun as the audience. XD

"What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering?

Suffering!

Suffering now!

Woo!

Suffering now!

You and me
We'll all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a generation that didn't agree,

Generation!

Belonging,
Belonging to!"

The stage went dark and Dib walked off so that the pit crew could change the setting for the next song. He waited backstage for Zim to be finished with his song.

A very heavy beat begins to play and when the lights come on, they are hazy reds and pinks and purples. (If you've ever seen Priest live, you know what this set looks like. Oo;) There were small cat-walks and high beams, not to mention stairs leading to them all. Then, out of nowhere, Alter Zim rises out of the smoke billowing out from one of the trap ports that rose him up from the secret under passages. He was dressed in what looked like a robe over his normal dress. He then began to sing to the music.

"You mesmerize slowly…
Till I can't believe my eyes…
Ecstasy controls me…
What you give just serves me right…

Without warning you're here,
Like magic you appear…
I taste the fear!

I'm so afraid…
But I still feed the flame…

In the night,
Come to me!
You know I want your Touch of Evil!
In the night,
Please set me free!
I can't resist a Touch of Evil!"

Alter Zim struts around the stage (much like Halford does…) and gets the crowd really riled up. He makes eyes contact with many of the Irkens in the crowd and he makes sure to get super close to them as he performs.

"Aroused with desire,
You put me in a trance…
A vision of fire,
I never had a chance…

A dark angel of sin…
Preying deep from within…
Come take me in!

I'm so afraid…
But I still feed the flame…

In the night,
Come to me!
You know I want your Touch of Evil!
In the night,
Please set me free!
I can't resist a Touch of Evil!"

At this point in the song, he disappears from view into another smoke screen, as the guitar solo plays, it leaves the crowd screaming for more. His voice is then heard and everyone looks around to see where it is coming from, and without even noticing, he had made it to another one of the little perches and he crouched at the very edge.

"Arousing me now with a sense of desire!
Possessing my soul till my body's on fire!

A dark angel of sin,
Preying deep from within,
Come take me in!

I'm so afraid…
But I still feed the flame…

You're possessing me!

In the night,
Come to me!
You know I want your Touch of Evil!
In the night,
Please set me free!
I can't resist a Touch of Evil!

In the night,
Come to me!
You know I want your Touch of Evil!
In the night,
Please SET me free!
I can't resist a Touch of Evil!

Evil!"

He holds out the last note as he slowly returns to the place he emerged from, then, as he turns to face the crowd for the last time, right before he steps onto the platform to take him back to the under passages, he continues.

"Touch…"

And then, he is gone and the music ends. Sources say that he is not seen until the end… The crowd goes wild and many are chanting Zim's name. They craved more…and if they didn't get it, they would rave…Oo; Good thing they did, then next song began the play, and it was a surprisingly happy upbeat tune. The lights came on and Zim was standing there, in a very not-so-Zimmy uniform…if that could even be said…He was in leathers, leather pants and a leather jacket, the silver studs shone in the light on his pants and jacket. It was so sexy looking….X3

"I can't stand the way you move it!
You drive me crazy with that walk!
You get me so excited!
I tremble and I shake,
When you make the moves you make!

You've got the key,
The key to my heart!
Go ahead and use it,
Drag me in, slam the door,
Then I'll be yours, for evermore!

You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!
You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!

I can't take it when you touch me,
Feels so good I could explode!
You've got me in a frenzy!
I tremble and I quake,
When you shake the things you shake!

You've got the key,
The key to my heart!
Go ahead and use it!
Drag me in, slam the door,
Then I'll be yours, for evermore!

You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!
You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!
Locked in!
Locked inside your love!
You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!"

Zim definitely gets the audience involved, and many of the female, and a few of the male, Irkens shoved their way to the front to have a good look, and maybe even have a chance to have contact with the now superstar Irken. And then at this time, which was the guitar solo, Zim crouched at the very edge of the stage and outstretched his hand in order to touch some of the crowds outstretched claws, hunger for attention. This action definitely got the crowd into a frenzy, as the crowd surfing and moshing got much stronger.

"You've got the key,
The key to my heart!
Go ahead and use it!
Drag me in, slam the door,
Then I'll be yours, for evermore!

You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!
You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!
You've got me locked in, baby!
Locked inside your love!
You've got me locked in!
Locked inside your love!"

The song began to fade and Zim continued to sing until the tune was completely faded. The lights dimmed and he had his chance to leave the stage. As he was walking backstage, he was pulled aside, into a closet, by another pair of hungry hands. He was then 'attacked' by Dib. Neither were seen until the very end…

Another tune started up at the tone of a bell. Then the guitars came in, the stage lit up and it was like an old run down church with rolling hills in the background. Kumi walked out of the broken doors of the poor little church and started to sing.

"Make this fight on the hill in the early day!
Constant chill deep in inside!
Shouting gun, on they run, through the endless grey!
On they fight, for their right!

Yes, but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know!
Stiffened wounds test their pride!
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow!
Gone insane from the pain, that they surely know!

For whom the bell tolls!
Time marches on!
For whom the bell tolls!

Take a look to the sky just before you die!
It's the last time you will!
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky!
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry!
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery!
He hears the silence so loud!
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be!
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see!

For whom the bell tolls!
Time marches on!
For whom the bell tolls!"

The lights went down again as soon as the last beat was heard. The crown cheered for the heavy metal beats of this Earth they always hear about.

The music began and when the lights came on, an Ozzy background was set up and 325 stood there, swaying to the music. He then began to sing.

"Your thoughts are compromising,
Self-centered, patronizing,
Your image supersedes your soul…

You find me mystifying,
Subhuman, so annoying,
You can't have me under control…

You think you live forever…
You don't find that profound…
You won't think you're so clever…

When you hear thunder underground…

All right now…

Your morbid fear of losing,
Destroys the lives you're using,
You only have one point of view…

The stigma of delusion,
Confirms your self illusion,
And after all this could be you…

You think you live forever…
You don't find that profound…
You won't think you're so clever…

When you hear thunder underground…

Here we go now…

325 was able to get the crowd into an uproar, thought the song was slightly slow, it was still enough to move the crowd to headbanging.

"Could it be that I have found my mind or have I gone insane?
Roller coaster of the madness and there's only me to blame…
The ever faithful hand of doom will take the pain away…
I'll never know the answer to it all 'til my dying day…

Your bullshit culture licking,
Can't stop the deathwatch ticking,
You're only mortal after all…

Your appetite for power,
Subverts your every hour,
But every time the mighty fall…

You think you live forever…
You don't find that profound…
You won't think you're so clever…

When you hear thunder underground…

Here we go now…"

He finished and the stage dimmed again. The crowd cheered loudly until the music started up again and the stage came back to life. It looked like an old village you see in the old movies. The music continued, but there was no sign of the singer. Then, a streak of blue falls from the ceiling with a shriek. 732 scared the audience as he began to sing.

"Howling winds keep screaming round…
And the rain comes pouring down…
Doors are locked and bolted now…
As the thing crawls into town…

Straight out of hell,
One of a kind,
Stalking his victim,
Don't look behind you…

Nightcrawler!
Beware the beast in black!
Nightcrawler!
You know he's coming back!
Night Crawler!

Sanctuary is being sought,
Whispered prayers a last resort,
Homing in its' cry distorts,
Terror struck they know they're caught…

Straight out of hell,
One of a kind,
Stalking his victim,
Don't look behind you…

Nightcrawler!
Beware the beast in black!
Nightcrawler!
You know he's coming back!
Night Crawler!"

The guitar solo was an excuse to strut around the stage some more, almost in a show-offy way. XP

"As night is falling…
The end is drawing near…
They'll hear…
Their last rites echo on the wind…"

At several points in his performance, he would lunge at the audience to scare them…and they loved it! He then curled his wings in such a fashion that the lights hit his face and made him look like the devil. He hissed the next part and it echoed and reverberated around the auditorium.

"Huddled in the cellar…
Fear caught in their eyes…
Daring not to move or breathe…
As the creature cries…
Fingernails start scratching…
On the outside wall…
Clawing at the windows…
"Come to me" it calls…
Atmosphere's electric…
As it now descend the stairs…

Hiding in the darkness…
Is so futile from its glare…
Death comes in an instant…
As they hoped it would…
Souls ascend to heaven…
While it feasts on flesh and blood…"

Then he began to walk and strut across the stage for the last part of it.

"Straight out of hell!
One of a kind!
Stalking his victim!
Don't look behind you…

Nightcrawler!
Beware the beast in black!
Nightcrawler!
You know he's coming back!
Night Crawler!

Beware the beast in black!
Nightcrawler!
You know he's coming back!
Night Crawler!

He's gonna get you!

Nightcrawler!

Beware the beast

Nightcrawler!

He's gonna get you!

Nightcrawler!

Strait outta hell!

Beware the beast!

He's gonna get you!

Night crawler!"

He finished and flew back up to the rafters. Then the stage changed abruptly and 946 walked out. He sang in a low mellow tone and everyone in the audience took out their lighters and waved then from side to side with the beat.

"Life it seems will fade away…
Drifting further every day…
Getting lost within myself…
Nothing matters no one else…
I have lost the will to live…
Simply nothing more to give…
There is nothing more for me…
Need the end to set me free…

Things not what they used to be…
Missing one inside of me…
Deathly lost, this can't be real…
Cannot stand this hell I feel…
Emptiness is filling me …
To the point of agony…
Growing darkness taking dawn…
I was me, but now He's gone…

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late …
Now I can't think, think why I should even try…

Yesterday seems as though it never existed…
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye…"

946 finished and then proudly spoke into the microphone.

"Thank you all! You've been a great audience! We love you! GOOD NIGHT!" he shouted right before he left the stage.

"And that's all for tonight!" said the announcer. The audience began to chant 'More! More! More!' "Wait! We just received that we have one more special guest! The one…the only… RYU-FORTE!"

A slender figure, clad in black, lowered onto the stage from a ceiling wire, her foot in the loop at the bottom and a gloved hand holding the wire were the only things that kept her from falling. She wore a black dragon shirt, blue/black goth pants, complete with tassels and chains. Blue/black boots and a long, black trench coat.

"Hello! You've all been a wonderful audience so far! So let's step it up a notch!" She pointed off to the D.J., "This is for all you younger ones out there! Don't be oppressed!" then she started to sing.

"You say I waste my life away, but I live it to the full!
And how you know anyway, you're just mister dull!

Why don't you get into the things we do today?
You could lose twenty years right away, so we say,

We don't need, no, no, no, no parental guidance here!
We don't need, no, no, no, no parental guidance here!

Every day you scream at me to turn the music low!
Well if you keep on screaming, you'll make me deaf you know!

You always chew me out, because I stay out late!
Until your three-piece suit comes back in date, get one thing straight,

We don't need, no, no, no, no parental guidance here!

There's no communication. I'm tired of explanation,
Is this message getting through?
You went through the same thing too!

Don't you remember what it's like to lose control?
Put on my jacket, for you get too old! Let's rock n' roll!"

Ryu-Forte strutted around the stage, then she spoke into the microphone right before she started singing again.

"I know you know the lines that come next! Ready? Here we go!"

She sang the first verse, then she held the mike out to the audience and they also sang with her. She did a good job of making the audience feel involved.

"We don't need, no, no, no, no, parental guidance here!

We don't need, no, no, no, no, parental guidance here!

Oh no!
One life!
And I'm gonna live it up!"

"Woo! Great job everybody! Is everyone havin' fun?" called Ryu-Forte. The crowd cheered. She smiled and put a hand to her ear. "What? I can't hear you!" More cheers, louder this time. "WHAT?" They screamed even louder. "Alright! Lets continue!" The music started up again. "This goes out to all the smeets in da house!"

"I woke up it was 7,
I waited till 1,1
To figure out that no one would call…
I think I've got a lot of friends, but I don't hear from them,
What's another night all alone?
When your spending everyday on your own,
And here it goes!

I'm just a kid! And life is a nightmare!
I'm just a kid! I know that it's not fair!
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me!

Tonight…

And maybe when the night is dead,

I'll crawl into my bed,
Staring at these 4 walls again...
I'll try to think about the last time,

I had a good time,
Everyone's got somewhere to go…
And they're gonna leave me here on my own and here it goes,

I'm just a kid!

And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid!

I know that it's not fair!
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me!

What the hell is wrong with me?
Don't fit in with anybody!
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep!
And every night is the worst night ever…"

As she strutted around the stage, her trench coat flapped a little, and you could see a fox tail attached to her belt. Her long, burgundy hair, that was tied up into a pony tail, whipped around as she turned and made wild gestures. She easily got the crowd riled up.

"I'm just a kid…

I'm just a kid…

I'm just a kid!

And life is a nightmare!
I'm just a kid!

I know that it's not fair!
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world,

I'm just a kid!

And life is a nightmare!
I'm just a kid!

I know that it's not fair!
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world!
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
having more fun than me tonight!

I'm all alone tonight!
Nobody cares tonight!
Cause I'm just a kid!
Tonight..."

She finished and the crowd went crazy.

"Woo! That was fun." There was much cheering from the crowd, "Ok, I'm sure all wondering why I'm wearing a trench coat, and even if you don't, I'm gonna tell you anyway. See, I'm not copying Dib, if that what you're thinking, I was actually wearing this before I even knew about these guys!" some of the audience giggled and chuckled, "But seriously, there guys are great to work with! I had a ball doing this story and we have two more songs for you guys!" she motioned to the D.J. to start the song. As she began to sing, she was able to rally all the Irkens into moshing.

"There you go!
You're always so right!
It's all a big show!
It's all about you!
You think you know!
What everyone needs!
You always take time to criticize me!
It seems like everyday!
I make mistakes!
I just can't get it right!
It's like I'm the one!
You love to hate!
But not today...

So shut up, shut up, shut up!
Don't want to hear it!
Get out, get out, get out!
Get out of my way!
Step up, step up, step up!
You'll never stop me!
Nothing you say today,
Is gonna bring me down!

There you go!
You never ask why!
It's all a big lie!
Whatever you do!
You think your special!
But I know & I know & I know & we know!
That you're not!
You're always there to point out my mistakes,
And shove them in my face!
It's like I'm the one you love to hate,
But not today!

So shut up, shut up, shut up!
Don't want to hear it!
Get out, get out, get out!
Get out of my way!
Step up, step up, step up!
You'll never stop me!
Nothing you say today!
Is gonna bring me down!

And as she sang, each person slowly began to come back and gather on the stage, singing along with Ryu-Forte.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Is gonna bring me down!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
You never bring me down!"

Enter Red and Purple

"Don't tell me who I should be! (Red)
Don't tell me who I should be!
And don't try to tell me what's right for me!
don't tell me what I should do! (Purple)
I don't want to waste my time!
I'll watch you fade away!"

Enter Evil Dib, Alter Dib, and Dib.

"So shut up, shut up, shut up! (Evil Dib)
Don't wanna hear it!
Get out, get out, get out! (Alter Dib)
Get out of my way!
Step up, step up, step up! (Dib)
You'll never stop me!
Nothing you say today!
Is gonna bring me down!"

Enter Alter Zim, Zim, and Kumi

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! (Alter Zim)
Don't wanna hear it!
Get up, get up, get up! (Zim)
Get out of my way!
Step up, step up, step up! (Kumi)
You'll never stop me!
Nothing you say!
Is gonna bring me down!"

Enter 325, 732, and 946.

"Bring me down! (325)
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Won't bring me down! (732)
Bring me down!
Shut up, shut up, shut up! (946)
Won't bring me down!

Shut up, shut up, shut up!" (All)

They all finished in what seemed liked harmony with each other. Then, the last song started up and they all sang in what seemed like perfect pitch, splitting up all the parts like they had been doing it for years.

"Is this the real life? (All)
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide…
No escape from reality…
Open your eyes…
Look up to the skies and see…
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy…
Because I'm easy come, easy go…
little high, little low…
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me…
To me…

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away…
Mama, oooo didn't mean to make you cry…
if I'm not back again this time tomorrow..
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters…

Too late, my time has come…
Sends shivers down my spine…
Body's aching all the time…
Goodbye everybody…

I've got to go…
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth…
Mama oooo…

any way the wind blows…
I don't wanna die…
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all…

I see a little silhouette of a man, (Alter Dib)
Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango? (All)
Thunderbolt and lightning!

Very, very frightening me!
Galileo! Galileo! (Alter Zim)
Galileo, Galileo! (Kumi)
Galileo Figaro! (Dib)

Magnifico! (946)

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me! (Purple)
He's just a poor boy from a poor family! (All)
Spare him his life from this monstrosity!
Easy come easy go,

will you let me go?
Bismillah! No! We will not let you go! (Red)

Let him go! (All)
Bismillah! We will not let you go! (732)

Let him go! (All)
Bismillah! We will not let you go! (Zim)

Let me go! (Evil Dib)
Will not let you go! (All)

Let me go! (Evil Dib)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no! (All)
Oh Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go!
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!"

Then, Ryu-Forte undid her hair and let it all fall down.

"Alright everybody! Ready?" And right as the guitar came in, they all started head banging to the music, just like the 'big hair bands' of the 80's! XD The audience caught on super quick and joined in the odd ritual along with everyone on stage.

"So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? (All)
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh baby…Can't do this to me baby…
Just gotta get out!

just gotta get right outta here!

oooo, oo yeah, oo yeah

Nothing really matters!
Anyone can see…
Nothing really matters…

Nothing really matters to me…

Any way the wind blows..."

The song finished and the audience went crazy. They cheered and shouted in approval, and many were clapping and wiggling their antenna. This really was a once in a lifetime experience.

"Thank you!" shouted Ryu-Forte, "We had so much fun doing this for you! I'm glad you liked it to! Always stay free and true to who you are! Word to your control brains!" And with that, there was much smoke, lazers, pyrotechnics, and just shit flyin' everywhere. And when it was all settled, there was nothing more than an empty stage.

Thanks for readin'!

(Thank you so much for keepin' in touch with this story! You don't know how much this means to me, you really don't! T.T Like I said earlier, I fully suggest you download all these song, unless you already have them, to get the full effect. And there's a reason why most of the Halford a.k.a. Judas Priest songs were given to who they were. XD But seriously, if you come across these songs, listen to them! Now, if you review on this one, you will probably be answered in SDSS, so go read it! I'll now be working on that one for a while! Ta ta!)
