Sing to me
I’m an island
I’ve no one
To comfort me

Without
And within
Undecided
And out of time

Awakened someone
How I have found you
A means to escape

Volition denies
I’ve a mind
I can never leave

Your visions survive me
This circle of hate
And stand by me

Embroiled creator
Affected by
The Human cause

The flower that’s watered
Cannot grow
Without the light
and locked
Inside your room

Weightless
Faithless

Wearthless
For too long
I’ve been wrapped
In the covers
Of yesterday

For life is a dye
Of vibrant design
And colour sublime
Defined over time

Awaken
The child protected
From everything that man must face
For too long I’ve been gone
Too far gone
But now
Mind is set
The days
Spinning round to night
Away from me
Away from you

From the beginning
You were there for me
Unconditional love
In your home
Time has passed
I can feel you’re
Facing death now
And we will join you
In time

Faceless hell
My life is over
Fear itself
Lies on my shoulder

Where will you be
What has life got in store for you?
There is no crime
But to pine for a life anew
This is a cycle
You ride for all of your life

Live for all your worth
Live until you’re
Wearthless
Wearthless
Wiped off the face of the Earth
Wearthless
Wearthless
Wiped off the face of the Earth

Buried is the key to life
Kept away from you and I
Far beyond and overhead
Where the angels fear to tread

I sought the edge of all that’s known
Our kind denied, so long ago
Within, desire, now given voice
Resounding cries, once silent

Buried is the key to life
It’s too late for you and I
After all the plans have failed
And there’s nothing left to build

I felt the urge but could not see
The guiding hand that blinded me
Soon I’ll emerge from violent sea
To seek the end I long for

A means to escape from decline
The never-ending march of time
Ascent, beyond the highest climb
Where truth and life entwine

I saw the end in front of me
With auburn hair
She smiled and laid in front of me
Without a care
Desire, as yet unknown to me
I did convey
And all I am and ever will be
Was cast away
Right there

I. Prologue
Visions of a future Earth
After all we’ve done to her
There is no room for us
Man our mother’s plunderer

The air is unbreathable
And we must go
Mother Nature weeps
And reaves her world of people

II. Alarm
“Free your minds
Open your eyes
The end of this world is nigh!”

“We must send a team
Away from here
To find a new home.”

“The time has come
To journey forth
And find a planet
Of another star!”

“The end is nigh
And we must fly
Away from dying eyes.”

III. Escape
Fired our ship
To the sky
A seed to carry
All of us

Beyond the sun
We speed as one
Toward the Astral Plain

The galaxy 2103
Our generation will never see

Toward the stars
To seed as one
Beyond the Astral Plain

IV. Farewell
“Epsilon One
You are alone
The only one.”

“We send you forth
Into the unknown
And what lies beyond!”

“Your life-led ship
By each generation
Till search complete.”

“As we expire
You will live on
Man will live on!”

V. Lost
Away from this Earth
Two thousand years
We travelled
Through space we have drifted
To find our celestial home

VI. Found
WELCOME, CREW
THIS IS EPSILON TWO
DEMI-HUMAN
PRO-BIONIC

ADAPTED
SURVIVORS
POST-HUMAN
REMAINS
OF A NEW CIVILISATION

THROUGH BLENDING OF MAN
WITH MACHINE
A REFORMATION
OF REASON, CULTURE
AND PEACE WAS ACHIEVED
TO AVOID DEVASTATION

BEINGS SUCH AS THEE
OF A PARASITIC NATURE
ATTUNED TO DESOLATION
DIRECTED BY
A BASIC TENDENCY
TO BREED
AND ACHIEVE REDUPLICATION

FOR REASONS SUCH AS THESE
WE FORESEE
THAT YOU WILL JOIN US
MODIFICATION
AND YOU WILL ACCEDE
OR BE ELIMINATED

VII. Epilogue
Years of our travels
Have rendered anew
Species unfit for
The light we once knew

Time
Widow’s stare
Enraptured
Ghosts
Haunt somewhere
Underneath
When there’s no one there

Sun
Fade too soon
Too often
Youth’s absence
Finds you
Fading out
Till there’s not much left

Bring back my heart
I blocked the fear
But lost it all
Benumbed
My fault

Remove my eyes
I’ve seen too much
Wave goodbye
Remove my mind
I think too much

Underneath
Buried
I still love

A figure
Dread Spectre
Withholder
Signed letter
Behind you
Beneath
Destruction unknown

‘Neath The Moon
Under stars
Hiding beyond
The smiles of the young
A seep through
Blades so fine
Carried across
A seed in the air

Feel your years
Old as hell

Hell
Fine

There is another world
Where I can belong
Boring, indifferent
The fear I’ve become
There is another world
But I can’t belong
Pure and magnificent
Where dreams die young

Dreams die young
Dreams die young
I’ve seen enough
Dreams die young

Hell

He’s staring out the window
Resigned to life enslaved
A maze of introspection
A mind he can’t escape

His shame attained by other men
The fruit of what they think of him
Illusion of contentment
A mask that eats the soul

Dreamweaver
Let me be free
I’m tired of me

I don’t think I can stand it
I’ve been here for too long
I tried to lead this simple life
But I keep going wrong

Our fears betray a prisoner
Of Industry confined
We fall down at the altar
In vain
To see the light

You are not free
You’ve a will
And It binds you
The future has been pre-ordained
“But how can this be?”
Cries the heart
Deep inside you
Surrender all need
Put the self in exile

Dreamweaver
Consume my desire
Provide me relief
I need to be free

For there is no end
In all that I seek
Continual becoming
I can never be.
