Dark Project I: Despair
05:35
|
|||
Ambition turned into insanity
Playing God, dangerous profanity
Desperation, nowhere to run
Desolation, just waiting for her turn
Full of fear, unprecedented scene
Pailful glimpse of her lost humanity
No intention to amend her mistakes
But to seek an option away from planet Earth
In the lookout for a shortcut
Facing death is not an option
Science can’t save her now
Life cannot be bought with gold
Orianna: —Should I stay and embrace the curse from all my crimes?
Should I try in vain?
Should I try to run away, save myself and leave it all behind?
That would be the end, the end of it all—
Obsessive thoughts now run through her head
Of a secret weapon with stories unheard
The dark project an outer space mystery
A spacecraft set for another galaxy
Neglected ship, there is no time to care
About other galaxies with all this tragedy on Earth
Realizing a way to make it hers
Resolved to leave the planet she just helped to eradicate
Planet won’t stand a chance
Corrupted by humans’ commands
The space station starts to tremble
In her heart, countdown echoes
Orianna: —I should travel through time and space
In search for other life, I will try in vain
I will find a way to fix myself, start again, no one can stop me now
That would be the end, the end of humankind—

Dark Project II: Escape
04:31
|

Relief growing in her heart
As she flies out of the place she once called home
Setting the controls to take her to a new land
Unknown for any humans before
«Survival of the fittest», she thought
But uncertainty still raised in her mind
«Am I escaping to greater dangers
Or will I stand a fighting chance?»
Dark project: —Changing course to preset destination.

Dark Project III: Lost
06:11
|

Immersed in her thoughts didn't realize
The glimpse of all hope that had surely died
Relief in her heart couldn’t last enough
Warning alert, ship has lost control
Warning warning, the ship’s course was deviating
Escape slipped from her hands and despair took over
Orianna: —A lifetime without fear didn't prepare me
No point in trying to escape what I have done
I’ve prayed into the void to have my life back
But it was too late, I was lost
A lifetime without pain, didn't prepare me
For the horror my life has become
I've prayed into the void to have my life back
But it was too late, I was lost—
—I should travel through time and space
In search for other life I will try in vain
I will find a way to fix myself, start again, no one can stop me now
That would be the end...—

As the ship had lost control
She was moving towards the unknown
Landed strongly into a new planet
Slowly regaining her consciousness
Orianna: —Am I alive, is it a dream?
A purgatory for my sins?
Am I insane, can I believe
That there is a world, that there is a world outside for me?—
—Gear up and get ready—
With shaky arms she slowly opened, opened the hatch
—Open your eyes—, opened her eyes and saw the scenery
green sky and blue earth all around her
Orianna: —Am I alive, is it a dream?
A purgatory for my sins?
Am I insane, can I believe
That there is a world, that there is a world outside for me?—
Took off her helmet, inhaled new air
Her lungs filled right straight through her soul
Reality turned into madness
Noxious arrival to a brand new home
Blurry sight, fuzzy noises
Toxic air through her lungs
Echoes close, human voices
Voices: —Who are you, who are you?—
Orianna: —Scientist, life creator
Magnate, spaceships investor
Born leader, bow before me
Orianna thou shall call me—
Voices: —Liar liar, liar liar,
Twisted self misconception,
You are not who you think you are—
Woman: — I’m your greed, out of control —
Child: — I’m a coward, with no soul —
Man: — I brought murder to them all —
Orianna: — That’s not me, you liars!!! —
Orianna: —Am I alive, is it a dream? (liar)
A purgatory for my sins? (liar)
Am I insane, can I believe (sinner)
There is a world outside for me? (killer)—
Poisonous planet twisting my mind
Must put this place behind me
Another unknown destination
Wherever the ship wants to take me

Entering a new dimension
All surrounded by darkness
With no one but her racing heart
She beholds a sealed fortress
Feeling that her mind was raided
As she approached the colossus
A gate was opened from within
Giving way to the unconscious
Found herself cornered by mirrors
Monsters behind judging her
Eyes piercing her through the surface
Scouting her for deeper meaning
Voices staggering her ears
Thoughts flashing in her head
Holographic depiction
Of the unforgiven
Dark reflections, black reflections
Where mind and desire collapse
To unveil the secret scene
Hiding behind the mask
Characters passing by
Breaking her and leaving marks
Forcing pieces from their lives
Empty vessel full of scars
Orianna: —They have taken everything
Left me without my humanness
The rotten roots I thought were mine
Have been planted deep within me—
Always incomplete existence
Never enough by just breathing
Multiple tests to gain the rights
And the will she was stripped away from
Scientist, science, power
Ego, control, desire
Parents Voices: —Train, learn and succeed—
Scientists Voices: —Give life, be someone, kill—
Orianna: —They have taken everything
Left me without my humanness
The rotten roots I thought were mine
Have been planted deep within me—
When you’ve never had control
You create control
Life and death puppeteer
Broken marionette
Orianna: —Voices, nothing more than voices
Just another character in this play
With a false illusion
Of being the director—

My Demise
10:48
|

Got out
I finally got out
Unknown reality
Denied feelings, revealed
Things I was blocking, what is this?
I don’t know who I am
Eternal hiding, what is this?
Eternal fighting
Getting out of the wormhole
Getting back to outer space
Getting back to the ship
Getting back to blurriness
Threatened to be destined
To face countless unknown threats
Living a life with no direction
Sentenced to a curse
Or bound to be blessed?
Realizing what she’d done
Wonders how long it’s been
A year of torture for her
A million for the Earth
A million years for the Earth
New transmission
New transmission
News from Earth
Anyone, can you hear me? Anyone there?
Oh dear lord, guys, I think there’s someone there
Heey, hello! Can you hear me?
Please, please, we need help!
There’s only a few of us left, and they’re coming!
We’re helpless, we have tried everything and we don’t want to die!
Please, if you’re there, tell the wise ones we need their help
Oh dear Lord
We’re sending new coordinates
Got out
I finally got out
Aching my whole body and soul
Things I did are
Coming back to me
No escape
Regrets are flowing
And piercing through my brain
Solutions in my head
Are driving me insane
It's called repentance, or so they say
Don't go back, only death awaits
Nothing good, could be born out of death
The ship has lost control, it’s just out of my hands
Regrets are flowing
And piercing through my brain
Solutions in my head
Are driving me insane
It's called repentance, or so they say
Don't go back, only death awaits
Nothing good, could be born out of death
The ship has lost control, it’s just out of my hands
Regrets are flowing through my brain
Fear and nostalgia
Redemption may finally lie ahead
But death may come with it
As the two forces struggle
Ship changes directions
Taking away all her power
To a new destination
Full of despair
There’s no escape
Lost through the darkness in time and space
Visions of horror cracking my mind
A cruel depiction of my demise
