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—

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. Enter password to change it Invalid password, please try again Invalid password please try again Warning warning, system failure—

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
