"People Of the earth beware It is here in human form An atrocity Laced with greed Filled with Evil intentions Ready to attack!"

As chuck stated in several interviews 'Hell is inside of people'. This is what he is trying to say with this part. The evil is in human form.

"Look to the air for stories to choose Who will be your next victim Profiting on visions of others"

This one isn't as easy as the previous one. I believe this can refer to many things. For example visions in religion that makes people do bad things. But probably also just mentally insane people in general that do messed up things as a result of their visions.

"Dark emotions run through its veins It's motives are false It's mind is insane A distant planet with no signs of life To become a home for this alien breed"

The first three lines seem kinda similar to the first part of this song. It's just about the evil within people. The last two lines are in my opinion pretty hard to interpret. It could mean that once we start to inhabit other planets we sort of change that distant planet into a evil place with evil people?

"Scientists of the world unite Your services are more than needed This creature in human form Is out of control"

Chuck is asking scientists to cast out the evil from those people. I personally have no idea how this can be done, if it can be done (seems inevitable to me). But this is kinda the only thing that can be done to save us from ourselves.

"Looks can be deceiving See beyond the shell Flesh and eyes mean nothing The truth, time it will tell"

Pretty obvious, just because a person seems to be a good person from the outside doesn't mean they are. And the truth will tell as their evil side can come out at any time.

"Before you think you fool the world What comes around goes around Shown for what you are A waste of life"

These people fool the world and do bad things, but in the end they will be the ones paying for their wrongdoings. Sadly this isn't always the case in our current society.
