<Ripper intro high note>
Soaring on, into the endless black
Along the infinite ice-plane
Billions of miles, forever along
What waits for us in the next puddle realm
We barely escaped those hostile aliens
Who guarded their own puddle realm
Slipping back into the white loop
There is no way to direct
So much time has passed as we travel the ice-plane
I have swallowed my fears and entered the holodeck
I have been exploring Centauri Realm
But still I cannot remember
<Pat solo>

I HAVE FLOWN ALL OVER THIS REALM
EXPLORING ALL OF ITS COUNTRIES
IT FEELS JUST LIKE A PLANET TO ME
BUT IT IS A PUDDLE REALM
(Chorus)
I GUESS PLANETS AND SPACE DON’T EXIST,
ONLY INSIDE OF MY HEAD.
FOR ALL THAT I KNOW WAS INSIDE A PROGRAM,
HAVE I TRULY EXISTED?
<Pat solo to second verse>
SO FAR I STILL REMEMBER NOTHING,
NOTHING SPARKS MY MEMORY.
LIFE AND SOCIETY INSIDE OF THIS REALM,
SO DIFFERENT THAN EARTH OR EARTH-REALM.
(Chorus)
I GUESS PLANETS AND SPACE DON’T EXIST,
ONLY INSIDE OF MY HEAD.
FOR ALL THAT I KNOW WAS INSIDE A PROGRAM,
HAVE I TRULY EXISTED?
(Bridge before solo)
AS I SIT AT THIS CORNER CAFE
I PONDER WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
THESE HUMANS COLONIZED THIS REALM
BUT IT’S THE EFFECT OF 1,000 YEARS GONE BY
<Pat solo>
<Dan harmonies>
THE HOLODECK DOOR APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE, HELIX ENTERS AND SITS.
SHE COMES TO CHECK ON ME AND LEAD ME OUT FOR A BREAK, I WOULD NOT WANT TO GET LOST AGAIN.

Realm of the Nephilim

|
AS WE APPROACH A NEW REALM TO EXPLORE, WE’RE GREETED BY A HAIL. SOMEHOW THEY SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE, WELCOMING AND DIRECTING US TO THE WATER WELL.
INSIDE THEIR DOME WE EMERGE FROM THE SEA, AND START THE JOURNEY NORTH.
WHAT WILL WE FIND IN THIS NEW PUDDLE REALM?
IS THIS WHERE WE WILL STAY?
IS THIS WHERE WE WILL STAY?
AND LIVE OUT OUR LIVES?
LAND THE SHIP DOWN,
THEY’RE ALL HUMAN,
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
<Pat solo>
WE HAVE FOUND A BRAND NEW HUMAN REALM,
THEY’RE TELLING US THEY’RE HUMAN.
EXPLORING THE ICE-PLANE FOR GENERATIONS,
THEY FINALLY FOUND THIS NEW HOME.
IS THIS WHERE WE’LL STAY?
AND LIVE OUT OUR LIVES?
IN THE REALM OF THE NEPHILIM.

THIS TIME HELIX HAS JOINED ME IN THE HOLODECK,
SHOWING ME ALL HER FAVORITE COUNTRIES OF CENTAURI REALM,
WE’VE BEEN IN HERE FOR A WEEK.
CENTAURI PROGRAM VACATION,
EXPLORING ALL AROUND THE REALM.
CENTAURI PROGRAM VACATION,
WHERE ARE MY REAL MEMORIES?
EXPLORING THE SIGHTS OF CENTAURI REALM,
WHERE HUMANS HAVE COLONIZED.
ALL THAT I KNOW IS EARTH OR EARTH-REALM,
LIKE A CAVE MAN OUT OF TIME.
CENTAURI PROGRAM VACATION,
EXPLORING ALL AROUND THE REALM.
CENTAURI PROGRAM VACATION,
WHERE ARE MY REAL MEMORIES?
AWAKENED BY CHIMES IN A NEW PARIS BED,
NICOLE AND I SIT RIGHT UP.
ANSWER THE CHIME FROM THE COMMAND DECK,
INFORMED THAT WE’VE LANDED IN A NEW REALM.
CENTAURI PROGRAM VACATION,
EXPLORING ALL AROUND THE REALM.
CENTAURI PROGRAM VACATION,
WHERE ARE MY REAL MEMORIES?

Reptilian Flickers

|
|||
|
STRANGE THINGS ARE AFOOT WITHIN THIS HUMAN REALM,
WE’VE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR 6 MONTHS.
AFTER WE SETTLED INTO A NEW LIFE,
STRANGE SIGHTINGS STARTED TO OCCUR.
STRANGE GLITCHES SHOW REPTILIAN FACES,
WE’VE ALL SEEN IT HAPPEN.
FOR A BRIEF SECOND THEIR HUMAN FACES FLICKER,
AND THAT IS WHEN WE CATCH IT.
<Pat solo>
WE’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT’S GOING ON,
GATHER OUR STUFF PACK THE SHIP.
WE MAY NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE SOON,
AND GET BACK TO THE ICE-PLANE.
BACK TO THE ICE-PLANE.
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
AS WE SLOWLY PACK THE SHIP,
GET ALL OUR BELONGINGS ON.
THE STORIES SEEM TO GET STRANGER,
THE GLITCHING FLICKERING REPTILE HEADS.
TURNING ON THE TRANSLATOR,
WE BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND.
THEY’RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT,
HOW TO CLONE US FOR MASS CONSUMPTION.
<Ripper section:>
THEN WE SEE THEM BRING NICOLE,
HER HEAD AND TORSO CHOMPED RIGHT OFF.
<Pat solo>
COMMAND MEETING ON THE BRIDGE,
TURNED ON THE MAIN SCREEN.
A HORRIFYING SIGHT UNFOLDED,
THEY ATE HELIX SHE’S DEAD.
WE MUST FLEE NOW.

Escape The Nephilim
02:51
|
|||
|
SUDDENLY 3 OF THEM APPEAR,
LUNGING FOR US ALL.
WEAPONS HOT FIRE AT THEM,
BUT THEY’RE ONLY STUNNED.
GET THE SHIP UP INTO THE AIR,
AND ACTIVATE THE SHIELD.
SOARING SOUTH ABOVE THE SEA,
WE’VE FINALLY VAPORIZED THE 3.
<Pat solo>
AS WE APPROACH THE FIRMAMENT,
2 SHIPS ARE FIRING AT US.
WE’VE GOT TO EVADE THEIR SHOTS,
FIRING BACK AT THEM.
ONE GOES DOWN INTO THE OCEAN,
BUT THE OTHER LANDS A SHOT ON US.
IMPACT KNOCKING OUT THE SHIELDS,
BUT WE’RE DIVING TO THE WATER WELL.
<Pat solo 2>
EMERGING ABOVE THE ICE-PLANE,
THE NIGHT VISION ILLUMINATES.
BUT WE’VE GOT COMPANY,
THEIR SHIP RISES UP FROM UNDER THE ICE.
EVADE, MANEUVERING AROUND,
FIRE! SCREAMS THE COMMANDER.
UNLOADING A BARRAGE ON THEM,
THEY CRASH TO THE ICE AS WE SOAR AWAY.
FULL SPEED TILL WE FIND ANOTHER REALM.
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
NARROWLY ESCAPING ANOTHER TRAGEDY,
AND TENDING TO OUR WOUNDS.
THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW CASUALTIES,
WE’RE LUCKY THAT WE GOT AWAY.
Chorus (intro riff)
I AM JUST A PROGRAM OUT OF TIME,
I DID NOT LIVE A REAL LIFE.
I DO NOT KNOW WHY I STILL EXIST,
I’M A LIVING GLITCH FROM A MATRIX.
<Pat solo>
REFLECTING ON ALL OUR EXPERIENCES,
I CANNOT GET PAST THE FACT,
THAT I MAY NOT HAVE EVER LIVED.
IF I WAS JUST A PROGRAM HOW DID I COME ALIVE?
<Dan bass harmonies
Joe acoustic outro>
