Children of the Next Level Lyrics
In trans-human state
It's time to evacuate
Waiting for a ride to take them to the gate
Await the siren call
More phenobarbital
Pour it down the hatch, ingest it all
Children of the next level
They're chillin' with the Devil
Children of the next level
Here they come!
A new life for an old life
A new form of religion
The final task will reinforce their faith
Immortality
Is it really worth living?
Gather up the children going to the gate
Break through Heaven's Gate
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny
Finished with education
So primitive this creation
It's time to go now no time to waste
They want to see it through
No plan to procrastinate
The mind and soul will elevate you
So now the time has come for T. I. to appear
The book of knowledge taught, predicted the end is near
Ride the comet all dressed in black
Exit earth, there's no turning back
Who holds the key to open Heaven's Gate?
They gave their lives just to escape
Thirty-nine who took the ride
San Diego mass suicide
Who holds the key to open Heaven's Gate?
And take 'em to the next level
Break through Heaven's Gate
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny
So now the time has come for T. I. to appear
The book of knowledge taught, predicted the end is near
Ride the comet all dressed in black
Exit Earth, there's no turning back
Thirty-nine who took the ride
The Children of the Devil
Break through Heaven's Gate
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny
It's time to evacuate
Waiting for a ride to take them to the gate
Await the siren call
More phenobarbital
Pour it down the hatch, ingest it all
They're chillin' with the Devil
Children of the next level
Here they come!
A new form of religion
The final task will reinforce their faith
Immortality
Is it really worth living?
Gather up the children going to the gate
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny
So primitive this creation
It's time to go now no time to waste
They want to see it through
No plan to procrastinate
The mind and soul will elevate you
The book of knowledge taught, predicted the end is near
Exit earth, there's no turning back
Who holds the key to open Heaven's Gate?
They gave their lives just to escape
Thirty-nine who took the ride
San Diego mass suicide
Who holds the key to open Heaven's Gate?
And take 'em to the next level
Freedom from this broken world
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny
The book of knowledge taught, predicted the end is near
Exit Earth, there's no turning back
Thirty-nine who took the ride
The Children of the Devil
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny

This killer track is on the dangers of blind faith and the consequences of following charismatic leaders who promise a better life beyond the mortal world. It reminds us to exercise caution when dealing with any religious group or belief system. To make the point clearer, it references the Heaven's Gate cult, an American UFO religious cult that committed mass suicide in 1997, believing that they were chosen to leave their earthly bodies behind and reach a higher level of existence by boarding a UFO they believed was trailing the comet Hale-Bopp.
