[I. Exodus] [00:00-02:48]

(Instrumental)

[II. Arrival] [02:48-07:13]

Landing
On this barren ground
Dust covered craft
Devoid of sound

Embarking
Lands of emptiness
Soon to be
A place we call our home

The bitter sense of fear
Made me strong
Now I’m far away
(You are far away now)
I am far away
Far away from what I used to know

Chosen
To change my life
Leave all behind
And start anew

Exploring
This brand new world
Leaping steps
Into the unknown

Now we’re here to tread the path
(The path to lead us on)
Mountain laden sights conceal the horizon
(The sunset’s turning dark)
These dusty trails will bring us home
(Prefabricated domes)
Though I know it will be tough
I’ll make sure to soldier on

[III. Architects of New Horizons] [07:14-11:46]

Our time has come to initiate
The protocols of which we must obey
Building phase begins
The risk is high; a lot at stake

Working all day and night
Perseverance down
Daily dose of challenges
Keeps our judgement alive

We’re building it all
Our nexus tall
A place to belong

Each night I see the starry sky
In which my old home resides
Each day that pass I wonder why
We failed to realize the fall of humankind

Brought here to pave the new ways
I’m now here to stay
I better make the best of it
The fate of Earth is looking bleak
So frail and obsolete
Now who’s to say that we won’t
Repeat in doing the same again?

Each night I see the starry sky
In which my old home resides
Each day that pass I wonder why
We failed to realize the fall of humankind

[IV. Lament in Silence] [11:46-15:49]

We left behind
Our home, the rest of humankind
A remnant now of nothing less
Than a tale of sorrow and greed
Of love and betrayal
We watched our greatest gift
Turn to dust and relics
Of a dream now gone by

Please, forgive us all
We failed to see

The blackest skies
Is where their sole light now resides
Our home once green and full of desires
Now reduced to a cradle in pieces
Lives in deep distress
And all we’re meant to be
Washed away as ancient poetry
Of a time gone by

Please, forgive us for
Deserting you

Chosen
To change our lives
Left them behind
Left in the ashes
Fading

Now they
Are kept within our minds
Memories stained
With our blood-filled history

[V. Zero Signal] [15:49-21:00]

Dark clouds tumbling in
There’s ash in the rain
Transmission’s going weaker

The tide’s rising higher
Submerging their cities with ease
Echoed sirens die out

And all we can do
Is to witness as it unfolds
We can’t look away
We are all to blame for this terror

The panic evolves
Collapse imminent
Broadcasted scenes uncanny

Connection disrupted
Their power cut off – we lost contact
Afraid that was the end

We’re lost for words
As our screens bring us static noise
Our halls went silent
And so did their screams

We’re shedding tears
For the hope to find peace inside
They might be gone (We might be gone)
But they’re all safe within our minds
(But we’re all safe within your minds)

[VI. Rays of Light] [21:00-25:40]

Humankind
We will do our best to honour all of you
As the future’s in our hands
No one said it would be easy
We’ll make sure to never give up
A tribute to you

Keepers of hope
Guardians of fate
With unwavering resolve
We’re conquering this weight

Breaching the skies
Destined to prevail
As we’re bound to this mission
Our legacy remains

Glowing light
In this once Black Sky
All the stars align now
They cast rays of light
To guide me

Glowing light
In this once Black Sky
All the stars align now
They cast rays of light
To guide me home

Pioneering
My fears disappearing
Persevering
My heart found its meaning now
