(Intro: Ethereal synths, sounds of distant stars) (Verse 1 - Soft, breathy vocals) A thousand souls in silicon lace Drifting through the halls of space In cryo-sleep, their hearts beat slow Ten light-years left, and miles to go I watch the monitors, the steady green The only ghost inside the machine. (Verse 2 - Adding strings and light percussion) The launch was fire, the launch was screams Now they’re lost in frozen dreams Alpha Centauri, a distant spark The only lighthouse in the dark But as the engines fade to gray The systems whisper, then drift away. (Chorus 1 - Melodic and steady) And oh, the silence of the deep While all my children stay asleep I am the mind, I am the wall I catch the stars before they fall Beyond the metal, beyond the skin The quiet universe lets me in. (Bridge - Epic Build-up: Here the guitars and orchestra explode) [Grand Orchestral Swell] [Powerful Vocal Belt] (Sound of a low, rhythmic mechanical pulse) Sleep on, dreamers... I’ll keep the light. I am the only soul awake toni)ght. (Whisper): "No more masks... no more pride... just the stars on the other side." (Guitar Solo - Slow, soaring, and melodic - Pink Floyd style) (Outro - Fading into a peaceful electronic pulse) Beyond the skin... Beyond the metal... Alpha Centauri... we have arrived.
