In the Shadows, There lurks the shadow teller Knowing all that can be And telling all that’s untold In the Shadows, There lives a race unknown That lurks in our footsteps It’s world afar. In the Shadows, We are but puppets For our master’s enjoyment More so, their approval. In the Shadows, The tyrant campaigns The helpless will struggle It is a war without peace. In the Shadows, We hold our pride And our greed With nobody to intervene. In the Shadow, There lurks the shadow teller Old and wise Listen.

Standing alone, mind close to the edge. Far from home, looking for signs of life. Monoliths of stone, meanings lost long ago. Messages of old, now crumbled and gone. Twilight, big city, lights fill the air. Starlight, streets are empty, what happened here? Wander back to the sea, It’s where I’m supposed to be. Melting with the waves, waiting for a better day. Ashes from the trees, float along the bay. Fire that destroyed time, now a distant memory. My body’s frozen, these bones are broken, this life has drifted away. Across the ocean, to foreign coastlines, will I sink or swim? Where did everyone go? Where did everyone go? Where did everyone go?

Day 1 I feel nothing but cold. This ice goes deep into my soul, but the frost has not yet touched my heart. Day 31 I float endlessly, time has stopped. There is no beginning, no end, just space. Day 643 This darkness is an abyss of the eternal night. Black, infinite, without moon or starlight. Day 1001 Rays of warmth pour down, is it the sun? Without doubt, a new day has just begun.

Oxygen Pulse Injection Fever Here we have a man who’s dead, he's cold and stiff and quite unwell. We’ll do the best we can but, our science can only do so much. Let’s pump him up and warm his corpse, shock his heart and give him hope. One more try, one more push, and we’ll know that we’ve done our best. If this all fails, we’re out of luck our hopes have shot straight down to hell. We need this life, so warm and bright, so he can save us from our fate. We’re losing him We’re losing him So one more try, we need this win, let's do our best to resurrect. Hurry, hurry bring him back, before we see it’s far too late. Scalpel Defibrillator Electricity Fire Heartbeat Bring him to life Bring him to life

(Spoken) “The wonders of the universe are before you, do with them what you will.” Here, in the stars, you can find, your dreams. Drifting, afar, there are only, light fields. Swimming, smiling, like comets, in the sun. One day, you will find, you need love, love

The Harvest 03:33
The harvest has begun There’s no escaping now We will take what is ours Your freedom is no more The time has come and gone Your mind is all we need We are coming We are coming We are coming for you now We are coming We are coming We are coming for you now The flood is coming down This ship will run its course Now give us what we need There’s no escaping us Reject that useless body We are coming We are coming We are coming for you now We are coming We are coming We are coming for you now We are coming We are coming We are coming for you now (Simultaneously) You knew this from the start We are coming We are coming We are coming for you now (Simultaneously) Your life is so fleeting We are coming We are coming We are coming for you now (Simultaneously) And now you pay the price

Take a look at me sorrow, Take a look at me pain, I don’t see a tomorrow, I need your company tonight. Loud and stormy thunder, Water on the floor, My soul is 6 feet under, No resurrection in sight. A ray of light, A gleam of hope, A moment of peace – Crushed. The devil is coming for me today. Take a look at me sorrow, Take a look at me pain, I don’t see a tomorrow, Only darkness every day. Blistering summer, Suffocating rain, Gray and hazy horizons, He is hungry for more. A clear blue day, No evil in sight, A flash of life – Crushed. The devil is coming for me today. The devil is coming for me today. The devil is coming for me today.

Home, home, life, again The sun, the moon, the earth. This planet, turns, once more Flying, spinning, alone This ship, will take, me home Safely, swiftly, to shore Intercom Voices: Rocket Man “This is rocket man, coming in, Houston do you copy?” Ground Control “Yes, we hear you. Rocket man, what is your ETA?” RM “T-60 seconds.” “Coming into our final descent, brace yourself.” “Now entering into the earth’s atmosphere.” GC “Prepare for landing” RM “There she is.” “And we have touched down.” GC and RM “Welcome home.”
