Come gather 'round packs from both near and afar
To see the strange creatures that fell from a star
And pay heed to the way they've been raising the bar
The airships will soon be inflating
And you'll be left behind if you stay as you are
For the Tines, they are a-changing

Stick close to your friends and keep watching the skies
And keep trying to sort out the truth from the lies
For the foe you most fear you can't see with your eyes
Not for all your detection and ranging
Still you may win the day when it finally arrives
For the Tines they are a changing

Now all of God's critters got a place in the Choir
Producing whatever the world may require
Be wary, therefore, of raising their ire
You won't see the end of their raving
But you'll need them on board when you're down to the wire
For the Tines, they are a-changing

Start thinking out loud when the battle begins
And you may have a moment to save your own skins
For those that you cherish much closer than kin
To take action is better than waiting
And the loser now may be later to win
For the Tines, they are a-changing

We've read the old tales and we've seen this before
How doubt and deceit lead to vingeance and war
And yet if you can hear there's still time to restore
The trust that a brother died saving
And return to the future we're all fighting for
For the Tines they are a changing
