Exiles of the Stars
(Chorus)
We risked it all for a world that we loved
We tried with all of our hearts
But if the way forward means getting out
We’re the exiles of the stars
(Verse 1)
Our world is gone, Lost to our memories
Left behind, In the age of antiquity
But while it’s true, That there’s no going back
There’s beauty surrounding Our forward track
(Verse 2)
Lost in space, But not adrift
Forging on, Claiming our gift
As we wander, From star to star
Exploring the cosmos, It’s who we now are
(Pre-chorus)
On a generation ship built for tomorrow
We carry on the dream, we won’t let it go
(Chorus)
We risked it all for a world that we loved
We tried with all of our hearts
But if the way forward means getting out
We’re the exiles of the stars
(Verse 3)
Searching all over, For a new place to live
So far out there, In the nebulanic mists
Some people say, That forever we’ll roam
But with Earth in our hearts, Space is our home
(Pre-chorus)
Sailing our ship into tomorrow
This is our dream, we won’t let it go
(Chorus)
We risked it all for a world that we loved
We fought with all of our hearts
But if the way forward means getting out
We’re the exiles of the stars
(Break)
We had to break out
There was nothing left for us anymore
It was time to embark
On a starship heading north!
Now, We scan the sky
As we voyage through the unknown
Not looking back
We set a course for a new home
(bass-break)
On a starship of hope, we cling to our life
Maintaining survival on the edge of a knife
Five hundred years on, And nowhere to land
Exiled forever, Do we stick with our plan?
May this time be the last to set course for a star,
May our journey end after coming so far
(pre-chorus)
We voyage on, into tomorrow
We carry our dream, we won’t let it go
(Chorus)
We risked it all for a world that we loved
We fought with all of our hearts
But if the way forward means getting out
We’re the exiles of the…
(Alt-Chorus)
With the love that we brought
From Earth’s melting pot
We need nothing more
Then who we are
The Earth is gone
But we carry on
And if the way forward means striking out
We’re the Exiles of the Stars
Atlantis Endgame
Well, the new home of man
is a city in the waves
Of an impossible world
where we vow we will stay
Suspended in an ocean
Of the purest water
A endless sea,
With an iron-rich core.
All over this world
life can flourish and thrive
And there’s every chance
we’ll do more than survive
We’ve made a new start
with our heart and technology
And now this is the end
of our years-long journey
(Chorus)
Here in Atlantis,
In the ocean of dreaming
It’s the endgame for our exile
This is our new beginning.
Here in Atlantis
We can write a new song
Under alien seas
This is where we belong
(Verse 2)
We learned how to speak
with amazing beings
Mountain-sized fish
That can dance and sing
We’ve found understanding
With lives like our own
We‘ve exchanged our secrets
And our culture has grown
(Chorus)
Here in Atlantis,
In the ocean of dreaming
It’s the endgame for our exile
This is our new beginning.
Here in Atlantis on an infinite sea
If you’re looking for humans
This is where we will be!
(Verse 3)
This is our home now
For what that is worth
And we’ve better off here
Than we were back on Earth
In an ocean of peace
We’re no longer rovers
We say “Hail Atlantis”
Our exile is over!
On the Ocean of dreams, we’re sayin’ “Hail Atlantis”
On the Infinite Sea, we’re sayin’ “Hail Atlantis”
On the Ocean of Peace, we’re sayin’ “Hail Atlantis”
If you’re lookin’ for humans, just say: “Hail Atlantis”

Star Guard

Star Guard
(Verse 1)
Between the Earth and the stars
Lies the black empty
And if I travel too far
I’ll awaken the enemy
When my mind gets lost
And the monsters start to rise
I go looking for a defender
To descend from the skies
(Pre-chorus)
When my luck is running out
All I can do is shout…
(Chorus)
Help me find the Star Guard
Warriors in the sky
Swords and shields
To hold back the empty
(Verse 2)
The distant reaches
Of the Great Outside
Can strip me down
Peel away my disguise
Can anyone be my rescue?
Is there any hope to survive?
Against the dangers without
Against the monster inside
(pre-chorus)
When our chances start to fade
I call out for aid
(Chorus)
Help me find the Star Guard
Warriors in the sky
Swords and shields
To hold back the empty
(Break)
Deadlier than the worms of Antares
Swifter than the Raiders of the Pleiades
The black empty surrounds us
Bring an aegis to protect me!
(Break 2)
Under attack by an enemy
Threatened by the Black Empty
Afraid of what’s inside of me
Alone on deadly seas
(Verse 4)
Could you find the Star Guard
If I set course for you?
I can reach you in 40 hours
Be my savior true
Between the Earth and the stars
I sailed the Black Empty
Alone too far long
I awakened my enemy.
(pre-chorus)
When there’s nowhere else to run
Star Guard’s the one
(Chorus)
Help me find the Star Guard
Warriors in the sky
Swords and shields
To hold back the empty
Won’t you be my Star Guard
My warrior in the sky
My sword and my shield
To hold back the empty

Uncharted Stars
(Verse 1)
Do you know that feeling you get
When you realize you’re lost
The panic sets in deep
And it hits your gut like a rock
But when it’s us together
We’ll never be alone
Nothing in the stars can stop us
From finding our way home
(pre-chorus)
Let the uncharged stars
Light the way ahead
(chorus)
Crossing the unknown wilderness
We have a strength to meet any charge
It’s you and me against the universe, baby
Navigating the uncharted stars
(verse 2)
I’ve always been prone to these thoughts
There’s really no defense
I just decide I’m too far gone
Despite the evidence
And then there’s your gift of sight
To you it’s all so clear
In the deepest dark of the night
We overcome our feer
(pre-chorus)
We let the uncharted stars
Light our way
(Chorus)
Crossing the unknown wilderness
We have a strength to meet any charge
It’s you and me facing universe baby
Navigating the uncharted stars
(break)
I don’t know that anything could stop us now
Lost or found we’re gonna be together anyhow
Like that old friend you meet
At a party in the street
He says, “Hey, I see you’re doing so good”
And just like that, we’re back on track
Because we were never really lost at all
(Verse 3)
Nothing ahead can scare me anymore
When even the black of the midnight sea
Is illuminated by uncharted stars
That light a course we can see
(pre-chorus)
And the uncharted stars
Light our way
Chorus)
Against the unknown wilderness
With the strength to meet any charge
It’s you and me against the universe, baby
Navigating the uncharted stars
We’ve got a power that’s stronger than doom
And the strength to clear any bar
I love you, baby, from hear to the moon
As we sail the seas of uncharted stars.

Year of the Unicorn
(Verse 1)
One hundred days of Summer
And it’s not enough time, It’s Not enough time
A golden dream of sunset
One last chance to make it mine
(Verse2)
One hour to dawn
And it’s not enough time, it’s not enough time
A night together
Is a chance to change the world
(Pre-chorus)
Isn’t there something more we can say?
Can we Take it another way?
(Chorus)
Don’t stop, don’t you stop, don’t give up now
It’s a one-time chance that’s here somehow
Hold on tight at the wall of the storm
You are a legend—in the year of the unicorn
(Verse 3)
Four years of heartbreak
And it’s been too long, it’s been to long
Do I have to perform
That cynical old song?
(Verse 4)
Twenty years to go
And my time is gone, my time is gone
What can I do
With the cards that I’ve drawn?
(Pre-Chorus)
How many moves still remain?
How many times can I still play?
(Chorus)
Don’t stop, don’t you stop, don’t give up now
It’s a one-time chance that’s here somehow
Hold on tight at the wall of the storm
You are a legend—in the year of the unicorn
(Break)
Today is our day
This is our year
Now we can shine
This is the sign
Take advantage as
We’re making our move
This is our time
Because the stars align
(Verse 5)
I keep on riding
Though it’s coming down, it’s coming down
In the eye of the storm
There’s a treasure to be found
(Pre-chorus)
It’s the next-best time to plant a tree
If we start today, we can grow everything
(Chorus)
Don’t stop, don’t you stop, don’t give up now
It’s a one-time chance and it’s here somehow
Hold on tight at the wall of the storm
You are a legend, you are legend!
Don’t stop, don’t you stop, don’t give up now
It’s a one-time chance that’s here somehow
Hold on tight at the wall of the storm
You are a legend—in the year of the unicorn

Ice Crown

Ice Crown
(Verse 1)
Cold as an ice field, And heavy as a glacier
Are these demands
One thing then another, Too much to manage
To keep it in my hands
Desperately Cold, I’ve been shut out
I’ve been rejected.
With my sword and my pack
Crossing the mountains, I’m Disconnected.
(Pre-chorus)
But what if I say that I’ll follow you?
What if I gave it all to you?
(Chorus)
Lead me through the storm
to the place where it’s warm, because
Blizzards can’t stop us
from getting home, and we’ll
Run across the fields
To where it gets real, with a
Fate unbound,
our love will melt this
Ice Crown
(Verse 2)
Placed on my head
A warning to myself
Inside my mind
Invisible to all, nowhere to rule
A kingdom left behind
Our progress undone, we’re on the run
And so far away
One chance remains, to make my case
What more should I say?
(pre-chorus)
What if I say there’s a path ahead?
What if we dared to start again?
(Chorus)
Lead me through the storm
to the place where it’s warm, because
Blizzards can’t stop us
from getting home, and we’ll
Run across the fields
To where it gets real, with a
Fate unbound,
our love will melt this
Ice Crown
(Break)
In the summer of my life, I saw everything
There was time to explore every field and stream
There was room to grow and a world to know
There was nothing wrong with having a dream
Is there space in this world to answer the call
For care and compassion and justice for all?
With an arctic chill, fighting me down,
I depend on hope to melt this crown!
(Verse 3)
A disaster unfolds, of the bitterest cold
Back to the beginning
Another defeat of my dreams
How long can I keep trying?
(Pre-chorus)
What if you said I could turn it around?
Use new tools and break new ground
(Chorus)
Lead me through the storm
…
(Alt chorus)
We’ll Shake off this rust and take up the slack
We’ll Turn things around, We’re not going back
We look out for each other, all our sisters and brothers
We’re lost, then found
And our love will melt this Ice Crown

Witch World
(Verse 1)
At sunset in the Witch World, everything
Where it’s s’posed to be. There’s an
Order to the universe. And
A thousand years of history
It’s nine o’clock in the Witch World. The
City streets starting to glow. There’s
Wonder, belonging, adventure. And
So many secrets to know.
(Pre-chorus)
Magic moon flower
Light of fireflies
I tapped a secret power
I fell into your eyes. In the…
(Chorus)
Witch World
Glorious seasons of an
Enchanted world
Uncovered reasons
For the journey we take from our earliest days
For the spells that we cast to show us our ways
This is a magnificent time
To be living in a Witch World
Oh, it’s a magnificent time
To be living in a Witch World
(Verse 2)
It’s daybreak over the Witch World. The
Residents endeavor to rise. This is
Our chance to make our mark. Under
Witch World’s welcoming sky
It’s midnight in the Witch World
Magic at its peak. There’s
A spark passing between us. I
Reach for you, you reach for me.
(Pre-chorus)
Magic moon flower
Light of fireflies
I tapped a secret power
I fell into your eyes. In the…
(Chorus)
Witch World
Glorious seasons of an

Uncovered reasons
For the journey we take from our earliest days
For the spells that we cast to show us our ways
This is a magnificent time
To be living in a Witch World
This is a magnificent time
To be living in a Witch World
(Break)
And it’s right here
Almost next door
Believe in this place
It’s the place where you are
Wander the Witch World
And journey so far
Come home to the land
Overlooking the stars
(Verse 4)
It’s high noon in the Witch World. Just
One spell left to cast. For
You and me, it’s time to rest
We don’t need to run so fast.
(Pre-chorus)
Magical starlight
The spell in your eyes
Tap into our love
While falling inside of the…
(Chorus)
Witch World
Glorious seasons of an
Enchanted world
Uncovered reasons
For the journey we take from our earliest days
For the spells that we cast to show us our ways
This is a magnificent time
To be living in a Witch World
It’s a glorious, glorious time
To be alive in the Witch World…

The Last Planet
Pt. 1 Wraiths of Time
(Groove#2 1)
We got / one chance
One planet, let’s make it last
It’s the end / of creation
Let’s keep it going / A new direction
One place, for the two of us
One Last Planet
(Chorus)
Anywhere you run
You’re gonna find yourself here
There’s nowhere you can go
That you where you won’t be there
You can fly to the end of time
You can try to outrun it
Find a new beginning
If you reach the Last Planet
(Groove#2 2)
The truth / it can be a bitch
Learn a fact, and make a wish
Our last world / Is it the end?
Or is this a chance to transcend
Preserve or persevere
On the Last Planet?
(Chorus)
Anywhere you run
You’re gonna find yourself here
There’s nowhere you can go
That you where you won’t be there
You can fly to the end of time
You can try to outrun it
Make a new beginning
If you reach the Last Planet
(Chorus)
Anywhere you run
You’re gonna find yourself here
There’s nowhere you can go
That you won’t be there
Come full circle with me
We really have to face it
It’s the end of the beginning
This is the Last Planet.
Pt.2 Storms of Victory
(Verse 1)
Re-entry
Back to where it got so hectic
Is this the last chance?
Let’s make it epic
(Verse 2)
Maybe this is the end
Or maybe we get through it
But I don’t want to just survive
Let’s Make this the planet
(Chorus)
Come on girl
Give me what you got
It’s the last planet
Let’s take our best shot
Come on baby
It’s all or nothing
Here on the last planet
Tell me everything
(Break)
I know you know I love you
And I know that’s not always enough
But the ground is coming up fast
And it’ll never be less tough
So, show me what you want
Show me what you got
Show me what matters
Show me what you brought
This is the time to take our last shot
It’s now or never,
Are we loving or not?
(Verse 3)
Heading for the last planet
The last one we’ll ever see
If I asked you for the truth
Will you give it to me?
(Verse 4)
Come on baby
What’s it gonna be?
Are we heading for a crash?
Or making history?
Pt. 3 Dark Piper
Instrumental
Pt. 4 The End is the Beginning
(Verse 1)
Here at the edge of creation
Where the worlds are far-between
Here under alien skies
Looking for some meaning
(Verse 2)
Here on the last planet
We took our best shot
Here where we landed
There’s more than we thought.
(Verse 3)
Here at the end of existence
Where there’s nowhere left to hide
We put it all on the table
And we finally could smile
(Chorus)
We found each other so long ago
And here we found each other again
This may be the Last Planet
But it’s our beginning, not our end.
(Verse 4)
Here on the edge of the sea
Looking on our great voyage
Ready for our life together
At the dawn of the next age
Here on the Last Planet
Where we found our destiny
One last chance to get it right
Here where we’re supposed to be
(chorus)
We found each other so long ago
And here we found each other again
This may be the Last Planet
But it’s our beginning, not our end.
Pt.5 Place by the Window
Don’t lose this place
The Last Planet
Don’t go away, don’t go away
And please, Please Don’t break it
I don’t want to lose
The Last Planet
Our new hope
Our old home
It’s the Last Planet
Stay here with me
Stay here with me
Stay here with me
