Lyrics
-Location- The New Water Planet: Planet Y "We're on our final approach to our destination The planet that will be our new home We've named it Planet Y Our first sight of this peaceful water planet Filled our hearts with hope! But now that we're confronted With the stark reality of having to build An entirely new civililzation, it's dawning on us That our problems are far from over Our entire infrastructure will need to be underwater Because deadly radiation from our new sun Sirrah Creates a toxic atmosphere Through the Source we are able To communicate with each other telepathically Which makes it impossible to hide our concerns from each other Some of us are afraid that we've taken on too much And won't be able to successfully adapt to our new planet Others worry that the predictions of the Prophet May still come to pass, and that will just perpetuate The same inevitable mistakes In our darkes moments We all worry that despite all our efforts This will be the end of our Alphan race And although TH-1 has been an indispensable asset Through this entire saga Something about him feels a little "off" to me lately It's probably nothing, but I can't help wondering If there is not more to him than we imagined..." -The Historian [Historian: James LaBrie] We've arrived at our new home we call the Bay of Dreams Our abode beneath the flow of endless silver streams [Chemist: Tommy Rogers] Will I ever be free from the ghosts of my past? Will I ever succeed to find peace...at last? [Historian: James LaBrie] Overhead, a savage sky beyond our placid bay Deadly rays from Sirrah's eye, upon the seas they blaze [Chemist: Tommy Rogers] Will I ever adapt to this alien life? Will I ever feel trapped, merely trying to survive? [TH1: Michael Mills] Will you still be needing me? Will you still be feeding me? Will you still be heeding me? Will you still let me serve when you mutate into the species roaming these oceans? Or will I be disengaged? [Diplomat: Michael Eriksen] My life is winding down, as if time has ceased My world grinds to a halt and nature is at peace My fears are fading in the wastelands of the deep My doubts all wash away by the freely twisting streams [TH1: Michael Mills] In the Bay of Dreams [Prophet: Nils K Rue] Far beyond in the Aftertime, a new world to come In a far-off galaxy, underneath a distant sun I see our children, they look like you and me They await their destiny, I can almost hear their screams [TH1: Michael Mills] In the Bay of Dreams
