ALONG THE ICE PLANE WE TRAVEL
LIVING OUR LIVES IN THE ICE SHIP
THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO
THIS IS OUR HOME
ESCAPED FROM THE LAST PUDDLE REALM
THE CANNABIS VINES TRIED TO KILL US
AT LEAST WE’LL NEVER BE BACK THERE
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
IN THE BLACKNESS OF THE ICE PLANE
WE REALLY ARE ALL ALONE
EVERY DIRECTION IS SOUTH FROM OURSELVES
THE TRUTH IS OUT HERE, ALONG THE DARK ICE PLANE
WE FIND OUR WAY, TO COUNTLESS PUDDLE-REALMS
WE CAN NEVER GO BACK, WE CAN NEVER RETURN
HOW STUPID WE WERE TO THINK THE EARTH WAS A GLOBE
BACK THEN WE WASTED OUR GREATEST MINDS, AND THREW ALL OUR MONEY AWAY
TO PANTEMIME COMPANIES, THE SPACE AGENCIES
WE IGNORANTLY BUILT, SATELLITES AND SPACE SUITS
JUST FOLLOWING SPECS AND BELIEVING, THEY WENT TO SPACE
IN THE BLACKNESS OF THE ICE PLANE
WE REALLY ARE ALL ALONE
EVERY DIRECTION IS SOUTH FROM OURSELVES
THE TRUTH IS OUT HERE, ALONG THE DARK ICE PLANE
WE FIND OUR WAY, TO COUNTLESS PUDDLE-REALMS
WE CAN NEVER GO BACK, WE CAN NEVER RETURN
HOW STUPID WE WERE TO THINK THE EARTH WAS A GLOBE
BACK THEN, WE BELIEVED, HUMANS COULD GO TO SPACE
BUT NOW, WE KNOW STARS WERE ONLY LIGHTS IN THE FIRMAMENT
SO NOW WE ESCAPED THE CANNABIS REALM, THE VINES TRIED TO KILL US
WE HAVE TO SEARCH FOR A NEW REALM, ONE WE’RE ABLE TO LIVE INSIDE
THEN ALL WE CAN DO IS STAY, AND RESTART HUMANITY
WE ARE ALL THAT’S LEFT, WE’LL NEVER SEE THE REST AGAIN
IN THE BLACKNESS OF THE ICE PLANE
WE REALLY ARE ALL ALONE
EVERY DIRECTION IS SOUTH FROM OURSELVES
THE TRUTH IS OUT HERE, ALONG THE DARK ICE PLANE
WE FIND OUR WAY, TO COUNTLESS PUDDLE-REALMS
WE CAN NEVER GO BACK, WE CAN NEVER RETURN
HOW STUPID WE WERE TO THINK THE EARTH WAS A GLOBE

AS WE TRAVEL ALONG, WATCHING OUR GREEN NIGHT-VISION SCREEN
A TUNNEL OPENS UP AND SWALLOWS US WHOLE
IT'S LIKE SOME KIND OF WHITE-LOOP,
ICE-PLANE ANOMALY
IS THIS SORT OF LIKE A BLACK HOLE,
IF SPACE HAD EXISTED?
BUT THAT WAS JUST SCIENCE FICTION,
WE'RE SPEEDING THROUGH THE REAL THING.
SCREAMING OUT AS OUR PULSES RACE.
WHERE WILL WE END UP, WILL WE SURVIVE?
TWISTS AND TURNS GO ON FOREVER.
WILL THIS NIGHTMARE EVER END?
BLACK HOLES WERE JUST MADE UP,
SPACE DOES NOT EXIST.
BUT THIS WHITE LOOP IS SO REAL,
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO US NOW?
NOW WE’RE CAUGHT IN THE WHITE LOOP,
ICE-PLANE ANOMALY.
TWISTING TURNING ENDLESSLY,
ICE-PLANE ANOMALY.

AS WE EMERGE FROM THE ANOMALY
WE’RE FACE TO FACE WITH A PUDDLE-REALM
BUT THIS ONE HAS TWO SHIPS
PATROLLING OUTSIDE THE REALM
I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING, A CIVILIZATION NOT FOOLED BY GLOBE AND SPACE
THOUGH THE REST OF THE CREW SEEMED TO EXPECT
ANXIETY PERMEATES ALL OF US
NOW WE’RE BEING HAILED AND ON THE SCREEN BEFORE US
WE’RE USED TO SEEING ALL IN GREEN
BUT THERE’S A UNIFORMED BEING IN FULL COLOR
WILL THEY BECOME FRIEND OR FOE?
WHAT IS TO HAPPEN TO US NOW?
PACKED WITH DEADLY ARMAMENTS
ARE WE ABOUT TO MEET OUR END?
SPEAKING IN UNKNOWN TONGUE
MAKING GESTURES TO HIS OFFICERS
WE CAN’T MAKE OUT WHAT HE’S SAYING
FRANTICALLY WORKING OUR TRANSLATOR
“GREETINGS DO YOU UNDERSTAND”
HE NOW ASKS OF US
“YES NOW WE DO” SAYS THE ONE IN CHARGE
“WE COME FROM CENTAURI REALM
ON A MISSION OF EXPLORATION”
NOW WE’RE BEING HAILED AND ON THE SCREEN BEFORE US
WE’RE USED TO SEEING ALL IN GREEN
BUT THERE’S A UNIFORMED BEING IN FULL COLOR
WILL THEY BECOME FRIEND OR FOE?
WHAT IS TO HAPPEN TO US NOW?
PACKED WITH DEADLY ARMAMENTS
ARE WE ABOUT TO MEET OUR END?

“HOW DARE YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN JUST APPROACH OUR REALM
WE KNOW HOW THE ICE PLANE, THE PUDDLE REALMS WORK
WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT HERE TO EXPLORE
WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOOKING TO INVADE OUR HOME”
“NO, THAT’S NOT TRUE, WE’RE JUST EXPLORING, AND WE STUMBLED INTO THIS ANOMALY, IT WAS LIKE A TUNNEL LEADING RIGHT TO YOUR REALM.
NO, YOU MUST BELIEVE, WE ARE INTERESTED, BUT WE WILL KEEP MOVING, IT’S JUST A MISTAKE, LET US GO AND BE ON OUR WAY”
“YOU ARE SHORGON RIGHT YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND YOU CAN’T JUST LEAVE YOU WILL BRING MORE TROOPS, WE MUST END YOU RIGHT NOW”
WITH THAT THEY CUT THE FEED, AND OUR PANIC LEVELS RISE
WHAT IS NEXT TO EXPECT OF THIS ORDEAL
AND NOW, AS THEIR WEAPONS POWER UP, FEAR OVERTAKES US ALL AS WE SHOUT WHAT DO WE DO, THE COMMAND TO RAISE SHIELDS IS GIVEN, AND I FEEL A SLIGHT RELIEF AND A SLIMMER,
OF HOPE, I DID NOT KNOW THIS VESSEL HAD SHIELDS, BUT THE ODDS ARE TWO AGAINST ONE...WILL WE DIE
HOSTILE HUMANOID SPECIES, GUARDING THEIR REALM
MADE FIRST CONTACT WITH US, AS WE APPROACHED THEIR HOME
WHAT DID THEY MEAN, HOW CAN WE RETURN WITH TROOPS
DO THEY KNOW HOW TO USE THE ICE-PLANE ANOMALY?
AND NOW, AS THEIR WEAPONS POWER UP, FEAR OVERTAKES US ALL AS WE SHOUT WHAT DO WE DO, THE COMMAND TO RAISE SHIELDS IS GIVEN, AND I FEEL A SLIGHT RELIEF AND A SLIMMER,
OF HOPE, I DID NOT KNOW THIS VESSEL HAD SHIELDS, BUT THE ODDS ARE TWO AGAINST ONE
WILL WE DIE?

TENSIONS RISEN, ALONG WITH OUR SHIELDS, THEIR WEAPONS GROWING HOT, AS ARE OURS
THEY TAKE A SHOT AND THE COMMANDER SCREAMS EVASIVE MANEUVERS
THE SHIP TAKES A SHOT AND THE SHIELDS LOSE STRENGTH, FLYING AROUND EACHOTHER AND FIRING BACK
CAUGHT IN AN ARIAL BATTLE
WE DON’T APPEAR TO BE DAMAGING THEM, THEIR SHIELDS MUST BE STRONGER THAN OURS, AND THEIR WEAPONS ARE BETTER TOO
WE HAVE TO GET AWAY, OUR SHIELDS ARE ALMOST GONE WHAT DO WE DO
SUDDENLY A FAMILIAR FEELING TAKES HOLD
AS WE’RE SUCKED BACK INTO THE WHITE LOOP
SAVED BY THE ICE PLANE ANOMALY
WILL IT TAKE US BACK TO WHERE WE WERE?
ENDLESS TWISTS AND TURNS AGAIN
THIS TIME IT SEEMS TO GO ON LONGER
WHEN WE FINALLY EMERGE
WE’RE IN A COMPLETELY NEW PLACE
CAUGHT IN AN ARIAL BATTLE
WE DON’T APPEAR TO BE DAMAGING THEM, THEIR SHIELDS MUST BE STRONGER THAN OURS, AND THEIR WEAPONS ARE BETTER TOO
ENDLESS TWISTS AND TURNS AGAIN
THIS TIME IT SEEMS TO GO ON LONGER
WHEN WE FINALLY EMERGE
WE’RE IN A COMPLETELY NEW PLACE

ON AND ON WE TRAVEL ALONG THE ICE PLANE
LEFT IN THE DARK SOMEWHERE FROM THE WHITE LOOP
IT MUST HAVE DIFFERENT CORRIDORS
LUCKILY WE DIDN’T SEE OUR AGRESSORS
ONWARD TOWARDS THE NEXT PUDDLE REALM
HOPEFULLY OUR LUCK WILL TURN AROUND
IF IT DOESN’T OUR DEATH, OUR DEATH CAN COME SOON
SO WE FIX OUR SHIELD GENERATORS AS WE TRAVEL ON AND ON AND ON
AND HOPE WE CAN FIND, FIND A NEW REALM
AS WE MOVE ALONG, I WONDER WHERE I’M FROM
EVERYONE ELSE HERE IS FROM CENTAURI-REALM
THAT IS THE REALM HUMANS FOUND AFTER EARTH-REALM FLOOD
BUT THAT WAS CENTURIES AGO, I MUST BE CENTAURIAN
IT DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE WE’RE ALL BANISHED
THERE IS NO WAY TO GO BACK FROM HERE
‘CAUSE WE ARE, ‘CAUSE WE ARE TRUE NORTH
EVERY DIRECTION SOUTH FROM OURSELVES
ALL WE CAN DO IS MOVE FORWARD
CENTAURI-REALM AND EARTH-REALM ARE LONG GONE
AND SO NOW WE WANDER THIS PLANE ENDLESSLY
FEELING LOST, OUT OF PLACE, THE ICE-SHIP OUR HOME
WHERE DO I COME FROM, WHY DON’T THE MEMORIES RETURN
I WISH THERE WAS SOME WAY TO SEARCH FOR HOME
IT DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE WE’RE ALL BANISHED
THERE IS NO WAY TO GO BACK FROM HERE
‘CAUSE WE ARE, ‘CAUSE WE ARE TRUE NORTH
SO WE FIX OUR SHIELD GENERATORS AS WE TRAVEL ON AND ON AND ON
AND HOPE WE CAN FIND, FIND A NEW REALM
BANISHED FROM HOME-REALM CENTAURI

NORTH IS THE CENTER OF A PUDDLE REALM
BUT ONCE YOU VENTURE ANY DIRECTION SOUTH AND LEAVE THE REALM
YOU THEN BECOME YOUR OWN TRUE NORTH
THERE IS NO WAY TO RETURN
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE WE ARE WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER
NEVER NEVER NEVER CAN WE RETURN
NORTH IS THE CENTER OF A PUDDLE REALM
BUT ONCE YOU VENTURE ANY DIRECTION SOUTH AND LEAVE THE REALM
YOU THEN BECOME YOUR OWN TRUE NORTH
THERE IS NO WAY TO RETURN
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE WE ARE WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
WE ARE TRUE NORTH
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER
NEVER NEVER NEVER CAN WE RETURN

IT’S ONLY BEEN SIX MONTHS
SINCE THE MATRIX PROGRAM GLITCHED OUT
AND I FOUND MYSELF ON THE HOLODECK
I STILL DON’T REMEMBER MY LIFE IN THIS REALITY
MY ONLY MEMORIES ARE OF MY PROGRAM LIFE
I HAVE TO BE FROM CENTAURI-REALM
BUT I CAN’T REMEMBER ANY OF IT
FLYING ALONG THE ENDLESS DARK ICE PLANE
NO WAY TO GO BACK ANYMORE
THE ICE SHIP IS NOW OUR HOME
UNLESS WE CAN FIND A NEW REALM
I WONDER IF VICTORIA EXISTS
IT DOESN’T MATTER, I’LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN
SOMEONE SUGGESTED TO ME
THAT I SHOULD GO BACK INTO THE HOLODECK
VISIONS OF CENTAURI-REALM MIGHT JAR MY MEMORY
BUT I WON’T GO BACK IN, AFRAID OF LOSING MYSELF AGAIN
FLYING ALONG THE ENDLESS DARK ICE PLANE
NO WAY TO GO BACK ANYMORE
THE ICE SHIP IS NOW OUR HOME
UNLESS WE CAN FIND A NEW REALM
IT’S ONLY BEEN SIX MONTHS
SINCE THE MATRIX PROGRAM GLITCHED OUT
AND I FOUND MYSELF ON THE HOLODECK
I STILL DON’T REMEMBER MY LIFE IN THIS REALITY
VISIONS OF CENTAURI-REALM MIGHT JAR MY MEMORY
BUT I WON’T GO BACK IN, AFRAID OF LOSING MYSELF AGAIN
FLYING ALONG THE ENDLESS DARK ICE PLANE
NO WAY TO GO BACK ANYMORE
THE ICE SHIP IS NOW OUR HOME
UNLESS WE CAN FIND A NEW REALM
DARK ICE-PLANE
