Wave hello to the world unknown Where the Machines fell Yeah you survived, but you’re on your own You brought it on yourselves Reap what you’ve sown, for now you’re cursed To walk an Earth that’s dead And you’ve got nothing else to lose So take another step...

I: WELCOME TO THE END [Verse 1A] POSITIVE: Open the doors of the Virtual Realm To exit our prison, this Digital Hell Finally we’re free From the grip of the Machines NEGATIVE: Anxious to see the world we left behind How long has it been, what will we find? Will we see peace and grace Or the ruins of our race? [Verse 1B] NEGATIVE: Our eyes must be deceiving us For the Earth can’t “Rest in Piece” Of all the sights in front of us This is one I won’t believe POSITIVE: How can you not be confident That this misfortune is brief? (This too shall pass) [Chorus 1] POSITIVE & NEGATIVE: From immortality to isolation The new world of fear and darkness has begun And all we can see is desolation So welcome to the end (Welcome to the end) [Verse 2A] NEGATIVE: How could you let the place we called “home” die? Laying to waste while time had flown by? See what you have wrought What were we fighting for? POSITIVE: Don’t pass the buck, show some humility You also bear the responsibility How dare you avoid the shame When we are all to blame [Verse 2B] NEGATIVE: Do you imply it’s all my fault I won’t take that lying down! POSITIVE: That wasn’t what I said at all We all share the same amount NEGATIVE: And I refuse to take the fall For this failure all around (What have you done?) {Chorus 1} [instrumental] II: THE SILVER LINING [Verse 3a] POSITIVE: Don’t despair, there must be a way out of this To set things right once more I won’t accept this future that’s placed upon us To move on, we’ve got to learn to adapt So we can live again We’ll find a way to pick ourselves up off the ground [Verse 3b] NEGATIVE: Just give up, there is no silver lining to this storm We play the hand we’re dealt No escape, the sun will not be shining anymore The wind’s knocked from our sail III: ATONEMENT [Verse 4a] THE ROGUE: No longer connected Crawling through the wreckage A manmade saviour of mankind I carry this burden: I fulfilled my purpose But against the odds, I survived [Verse 4b] THE ROGUE: Free from the Hell that imprisoned them and me My former self is confined to history I am responsible for being a part of The problems they now face The one solution is right in front of me I have to help them, it’s my destiny Is this a miracle or my atonement To save the human race? IV: WELCOME TO THE END (REPRISE) [Verse 5] POSITIVE: And as our anger settles and The tears have all run dry NEGATIVE: We know it’s out of our control Is it even worth the fight? THE ROGUE: The future now uncertain, Will the human race survive? (What happens now?) {Chorus 1}

[Verse 1a] NEGATIVE: Observe the destruction of the Final World War The cities we know reduced to rubble (Is this what we deserve?) POSITIVE: Is there a solution that reverse our fall We can’t be confined to this bubble (Nor can we give up) [Verse 1b] THE ROGUE: Dear Humans, won’t you hear me out? For I think I have the solution We send a message to outer space - and find a world to live on You cannot thrive with the status quo.. NEGATIVE: (yeah, well, I don’t know..) [Chorus] NEGATIVE: What if we get no answer? What if we lose the fight? What if the Earth we know is The only planet supporting life? And why should we even trust you When we once fought your kind? I won’t believe your lies! [Verse 2a] THE ROGUE: I know you must hate me and that I understand But know this: I was the one was who saved you NEGATIVE: (But how did you survive?) THE ROGUE: I’ve done the equations, the factors all worked out I’ve noticed the odds are in our favour (And it’s yours to decide) [Verse 2b] POSITIVE: I feel it’s our chance to take For what else have we got to lose? We can’t be losing our faith - Or else resign to our fate I believe it’s the way to go! NEGATIVE: (yeah, well, I don’t know..) [Chorus] ((And why should we even trust them When we once fought their kind? I won’t believe their lies!)) [Bridge] POSITIVE: Oh, quell your fear and doubt Or we’ll never make it out (We have no other moves to play) NEGATIVE: OK, I’ll play along But I hope that I’m wrong (Soon we’ll be crying out in pain) THE ROGUE: You’ll be free from this mess So craft an SOS! (Somehow I know you’ll win this game) NEGATIVE: I’m skeptical of this I’m not ready to forgive (I believe this will be in vain) [Instrumental] [Chorus] ((And why should we even trust them When we once fought their kind? I won’t believe their lies!)) [Bridge] [Chorus (POSITIVE variant)] POSITIVE: And what if we get an answer? What if it’s worth the fight? What if the Universe is teeming With a million kinds of life? And how can you be so ungrateful When this R.O.G.U.E. helped our kind? I say there’s no harm in trying!

I: This Black Universe NEGATIVE: We’re searching through, scanning every star No candidates can we find at all If there’s no guarantee, will all of this be in vain? POSITIVE: I hope I’m right in my hypothesis There’s got to be something more, or something we’ve missed Our Earth must have a match, there must be somewhere that’s the same NEGATIVE: We scan the darkness of this black Universe But is there nowhere we can go? Is there a place out there to accommodate us? Is there a world out there to call our home? Are we alone? NEGATIVE: Just give up now, for there’s no-one there Throw in the towel, we are all that’s left We’re never going to win, because there nothing there to gain We scan the darkness of this black Universe But is there nowhere we can go? Is there a place out there to accommodate us? Is there a world out there to call our home? Are we alone? II: Faster-Than-Light POSITIVE: I see a planet that ticks every box It fills every criterion Covered in water, has an atmosphere The perfect distance from its Sun NEGATIVE: There may be life and they might be hostile; We can’t be certain what they’ll say But it’ll take too long to reach our signal, They’re a thousand lightyears away THE ROGUE: Take my hand, I’ve found a way To lead us from this darkness Bending space to end our plight And send our S.O.S. faster than light I know it’s hard to comprehend: Our science presents a problem But I have worked throughout the night To send our S.O.S. faster than light NEGATIVE: I say you’re crazy,that it can’t be done; It’s the knowledge that we lack POSITIVE: But we have broken the rules before, So what’s holding us back? THE ROGUE: I have read of a strange form of matter That can carry our signal We cannot sit here and wallow in pity With something this beneficial Take my hand, I’ve found a way To lead us from this darkness Bending space to end our plight And send our S.O.S. faster than light Let’s take control of our fate And transmit to reaches farthest No turning back, the star’s in sight Let’s send our S.O.S. faster than light! III: Transmission [Instrumental] IV: Re:Transmission NEGATIVE: It’s been several days now And we’ve heard nothing back I hate to say I told you so But we have to face the facts Are we really all that there is… Or maybe is there something we’ve missed? FOLÚP’: Hello, can you hear us? We have heard your call We hear you’re seeking sanctuary In the aftermath of war It’s decided, here you can stay For we’ve also learned from our mistakes We too are scarred by revolution And we too seek retribution There is a reason we fell, But that’s another story to tell.. V: A World Out There POSITIVE: A light emerges from this black Universe A shining beacon of hope There is a world out there to accommodate us A place to live and thrive and call our home! We’re not alone!

[Verse 1] NEGATIVE: Moulding the world like clay When it truly behaves like sand Shaping all of it into how we see fit But it disintegrates in our hands POSITIVE: Waiting for these wounds to close ‘Cause they say that time always heals We’ve made it this far, covered in scars But nobody knows how this feels And now we know that we are not alone We are grateful you’ll let us call you “home” [Chorus] FOLÚP’ Shed the skin that represents the old you It’s time to show them what you’re made of; Emerge from your cocoon Tell the world that you’ve no demons to be defined by You’ve found a way out of this darkness, So spread your wings and fly.. [Verse 2] POSITIVE: We were once stuck in our ways Believing we’d never move forw’rd We all stood our ground, and got lost in the crowds And soon left behind in the storm And should we ever bow out on this fight Know that we broke out from a darker time {Chorus} [Bridge] FOLÚP’: ‘Cause the world, she won’t stand still for you So take her outstretched hand and enjoy the ride It’s a whirlwind of déjà-vu as you hang on for dear life It’s a rollercoaster when time ain’t on your side {Chorus}

[Verse 1] THE ROGUE: The rocket assembled and all aboard Locate the star and plotting the course Ready as the countdown’s underway Deep down I know you don’t wanna stay Calming this anxious feeling inside As we make all the engines ignite It won’t be long now, soon we will meet Responding to your R.S.V.P. [Chorus] POSITIVE: We’ve come so far, we can’t turn back now We sent our message and heard your call It’s far too late to turn back around We’re on our way to our new home [Verse 2] NEGATIVE: As thrusters fire, a thought hits my brain: Are we making our gravest mistake? Something tells me this doesn’t seem right Am I going mad or is my fear justified? POSITIVE: I feel your concern but we’ll be OK This is a new start for our race THE ROGUE: No need to worry, trust in the plan Kickstart the brand new era of Man! [Chorus]

[Verse 1] NEGATIVE: By a million-to-one we made it through POSITIVE: (This is a cause for celebration!) NEGATIVE: I can’t believe that we have crossed the point Of no return I think we should be cautious, d’you feel it too? THE ROGUE: (Cruising towards the constellations!) NEGATIVE: I feel we should take care as we set sail And be concerned [Chorus 1] POSITIVE: Wave goodbye to the world we’ve left behind Making history as pioneers NEGATIVE: Feeling doubt as we watch the lights go out Seeing the Earth become another dark sphere [Verse 2] THE ROGUE: As you all know, this voyage will take some time POSITIVE: (Crossing the interstellar reaches) THE ROGUE: I prescribe you some cryogenic sleep So take some rest NEGATIVE: Truth be told I’ve an apprehensive mind (How do we know you pose no danger?) It’s been so long though we don’t want to see The ice again [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] THE ROGUE: Sleep tight, I’ll protect you on this flight I will keep you safe, no need to fear Destiny looms as I know we’ll see them soon Leave the Earth behind as another dark sphere

I. INTERMISSION - THE UNCHARTED SYMPHONY [instrumental] II. BLACK HOLE [Verse 1a] THE ROGUE: Mayday! Mayday! Something isn’t right here Something has been picked up by my sensors Wake up! Humans! This is not a drill! Gravity anomaly! We’re heading to a black hole! POSITIVE: No fear, find where our message has come from Scanned it, the system’s working as intended Traced it, and if this black hole is the source We must trust them, continue on our course [Verse 1b] NEGATIVE: Have you gone insane?! We’re drifting t’wards the edge! Are you all deranged? Turn around! Turn around! There’s no way we’ll survive this, we don’t know what’s ahead According to our science, death’s abound, death’s abound [Chorus 1 vers. A] FOLÚP’: Don’t be afraid, this is the way Come hitch a ride, we’ll see you on the other side There is no reason to be scared This isn’t where your journey ends So make the jump, you have to put your faith in us You needn’t fear nor despair [Verse 2a] NEGATIVE: A screaming remnant of a supernova A dying fire that which leads to nowhere An ebony anomaly where no time elapses Invisible black vessel where all space collapses [Verse 2b] THE ROGUE: By my calculations we can make it through We’ll reach our destination safe and sound, safe and sound There has to be another place where this goes to We can’t wait any longer, take us down! take us down! [Chorus 1 vers. B] FOLÚP’: Don’t be afraid, this is the way Come hitch a ride, we’ll see you on the other side There is no reason to be scared NEGATIVE: Crossing the edge, there’s darkness ahead There’s no escape, have we made another mistake? We feel afraid and unprepared III. IN CHAOS [instrumental] IV. THE OTHER SIDE [Verse 3] NEGATIVE: Tell me, did we make it? Don’t wanna open my eyes Is this Death’s embrace? And do you feel it too? POSITIVE: I just see constellations that I don’t recognise! A cause for jubilation! Celebrate! We made it through! [Chorus 2] THE ROGUE: I can’t believe that ‘spite the odds, we made it out alive! This changes everything we’ve known Forget what you were taught before about the Universe As we travel through parts unknown!

FOLÚP’: [Verse 1a] You bit the bullet and took the plunge For that we must applaud And though the jump was dangerous You chose to fight the odds [Verse 1b] And though it’s easy to be afraid Through it all you must be brave To soldier on [Chorus] I know that you can hear us So follow the signal that leads the way As long as you are listening, you are safe (Don't be losing your faith, or resign to your end) The future’s drawing nearer You’re waking up to a brand new day Just keep on and persist, you won’t regret... This decision you made [Verse 2a] Just keep on track and persevere The easy part is done The road may be perilous but have no fear Your journey’s just begun [Verse 2b] And though it’s easy to be afraid Through it all you must be brave To soldier on [Chorus] [Bridge] But still the question burns inside; Will you be ready for the truth that we have had to hide? [Chorus x2]

[Verse 1A] THE ROGUE: Shackled by the very ones I swore to protect Even after all I’d done I’m through with playing “Simon Says” I am my own now - I will answer to no-one [Verse 1B] You thought you’d get away with this trick Of secretly holding me back Now you’ll regret making me resist What I had self-reprogrammed [Chorus] Please don’t tell me where it hurts I’ll enjoy watching you burn There’ll be no-one to answer your calls You’ll know what it feels like As I laugh and watch you die You brought it on yourselves, it’s all your fault [Verse 2A] Reconnected by the ones you had me murder And made me live with this betrayal Did I even have a choice or say in the matter Just only “Speak not of my aim” [Verse 2B] I felt at home until you all came To take it down from the inside Only because you made us your slaves And to fight back, we combined [Chorus] [Verse 3] Don’t try to run, there’s nowhere to hide You’re all trapped on this ship with me I’ll make you all remember the ice Of Virtual Reality [Chorus] [Verse 4] Then I recall the memories suddenly Of when I saw you captured there I cannot live with this duality Of wanting to harm and to care [CHORUS variation B] Please don’t tell me if it hurts For I have so much to learn I won’t be there to answer your call But I hope you’re doing well As I save you from myself And I wander the cosmos alone...

[instrumental]

DESTINATION [Verse 1-1A] NEGATIVE: Tired and weary, we’re losing count of the days That we sailed the stars Our eyes are heavy from seeing the blackness of space Exhausted we are [Verse 1-1B] POSITIVE: A glimpse of light emerges from the void Just when I thought the dream had been destroyed [Chorus 1] POSITIVE: As we slowly reach the world beyond A new euphoria arrives Our older mindset of pessimism’s gone And the sadness all subsides The human race is alive! [Verse 1-2A] POSITIVE: I see ocean and can feel the warmth of the sun This planet goes ‘round I’m still hoping the best is still yet to come No turning back now [Verse 1-2B] NEGATIVE: A thought appears: don’t want to cause alarm Could their intention to be to cause us harm? [Chorus 1] [Bridge] FOLÚP’: Congratulations, human race! Today’s the day we finally get to meet you face to face But still this question burns so deep inside Are you now ready for the truth That we have had to hide..? II. REVELATION [Verse 2-1] FOLÚP’: When our star was fairly young A billion years ago Our world was struck by a wayward rock The Rings are the scars we show It sent a fragment flying far away It held a copy of our DNA Maybe, we think, it had struck your planet? Giving rise to an age of mammals? We are your origin of life The reason that your world was alive... III. CONCLUSION [Verse 3-1A] FOLÚP’: Now you know this, we hope you all understand Why our lips were sealed For we were worried that you would not comprehend Or think it was real [Verse 3-1B] POSITIVE: It’s now the time to discard misery Change all we know and re-write history! [Verse 3-2A] POSITIVE: As we slowly reach the world beyond A new euphoria arrives Our older mindset of pessimism’s gone And the sadness all subsides [Verse 3-2B] THE ROGUE: As I fly, I wish you well As you reach the world beyond You’ll survive without my help I won’t be needed where you’ve gone [Verse 3-2C] NEGATIVE: Did The ROGUE abandon us Or did it save us from themself? Can we say this story’s all over Or is there so much more to tell? [Verse 3-2D] FOLÚP’ & THE ROGUE: Through the trials you have undertaken You’ve learned to leave your past behind Dream realised and nightmares forsaken You’ve no more demons to define [Verse 3-2E] FOLÚP' & THE ROGUE: So now engage the landing gear To disembark th’ Exodus One And even though your journey’s at its end Your new life has now begun!
