Odyssey
His name is lost through the eons of time.
He is the sole survivor of a dying race, the last human alive.
He witnessed his homeworld burn, destroyed by pollution and war.
Apocalypse!
Now he spends his last days traveling the stars seeking life, hope and purpose.
This is his tale, his journey through space and time.
And above all, it is a tale of his desperation and loneliness.
This is his odyssey.
Dawning of Man
Eons ago life evolved on planet Earth. Evolution finally led to homo sapiens
and the industrial revolution; the beginning of the end of humanity.
Eons ago: life emerging
The cradle of life saw the dawning of man
We spread through the world ever evolving
Mastering fire, like Gods, we ruled the world
The rise of machines gave us power
Like arrogant fools disconnected from nature
The face of the earth ravaged forever
Without concern transforming the land
Dawning of man
Destined to rule the world
Are we heading for the fall?
Turning the tide, the only way
When all turn to dust, a barren wasteland
When the ice is gone and the rivers are drying
When the ocean is dead, turned to poison
When it all comes to pass, who will help us?
Dawning of man
Destined to rule the world
Are we heading for the fall?
Turning the tide, the only way
The world is ours for the taking
Fires raging, we rape the land and lay our claim
Mass extinction is upon us
We are Gods of the apocalypse
Dawning of man
Destined to rule the world
Are we heading for the fall?
Turning the tide, the only way
World Ablaze
Due to climate change the world is no longer able to sustain the ever
growing population. War and unrest spiral out of control and plunges the
superpowers into an all out nuclear war.
The age of man is dawning
As our land is burning down
The seven seas are dying
Starvation, scorched land
Take heed, repent
Waring nations
Witness the world....
Fires rising
Witness the world ablaze
Society is crumbling
As our leaders lose control
Machines of war destroy us
Destruction is here
Too late, no going back
Waring nations
Witness the world....
Devastation
Witness the world ablaze
Crops are failing
Hunger spread across the world
Brother kill brother
Mankind fighting to survive
Waring nations
Witness the world....
Nuclear winter
Witness the world
Exodus
A privileged few leave the dying earth in a fleet of spaceships
in search for another planet to inhabit.
In mighty ships so vast, we are reaching for the stars
We arise, the ark of man
The engines roar aloud, like bullets pierce the clouds
Soaring high, gleaming metal in the sun
Go! Through the sky above, reaching for the stars
Go! Find another world, a place to call our home
Leave! Leaving behind all we ever knew
No more tears for this world
Fading away in a distant light
Exodus of man
Our past is dead and gone, leaving mother earth behind
It’s all gone, all we ever knew
There’s no time to grieve, every man is on his own
Let them burn, we don't look back we must go forth
Go! Through the sky above, reaching for the stars
Go! Find another world, a place to call our home
Leave! Leaving behind all we ever knew
No more tears for this world
Fading away in a distant light
Exodus of man
Sole Survivor
Instead of a new beginning, the survivors of planet earth find themselves
face to face with a deadly virus, spreading among the last remaining humans.
A deadly virus is spreading among us
No way to contain it
Bio warfare has unleashed the virus
No one is safe
Is this the fall, the fall of man?
Hand of doom reaching out for you
One by one all shall fall
A tidal wave of death you can not stop
Here I stand, the only one left alive
All men fall as death walk amid us
Departed their souls
People die yet I’m not infected
I’m still alive
This is the fall, the fall of man
Hand of doom reaching out for you
One by one all shall fall
A tidal wave of death you can not stop
Here I stand, the only one left alive
I’m the sole survivor
The only one alive
I’m so alone
I am the only one
Hand of doom reaching out for you
One by one all shall fall
A tidal wave of death you can not stop
Here I stand, the only one left
Hand of doom reaching out for you
One by one all shall fall
A tidal wave of death you can not stop
Here I stand, the only one left alive
God of War
Arriving at Mars, the last outpost in the solar system,
he discovers that the city has been destroyed by a nuclear bomb
sent from Earth as the war raged.
Gleaming in the distance, shining blood read from afar
My only hope is here on Mars
All I ever loved is lost, now only I remain
So far away, a hope among the stars
It’s my only hope
Devastating forces as the war on earth spread further
Burning me like venom from a snake
The final outpost ravaged, raining fire from the sky
All is gone, no refuge to be found
Only death dwells here
All I see, damnation
I need a refuge from this war
The last frontier is gone
I am destined for the stars, forever
It was my only hope
Sea of Tranquility
In an act of desperation he dives deep into the sea of Enceladus,Saturn’s
moon. Here he encounters strange alien lifeforms and finds his inner peace.
Down into the sea
Beneath the freezing ice
I am not alone down here
Equanimity
Descend amid the creatures of the deep
Peace of mind I find
Strange forms of life I see
Serenity
Down, deeper I go
The light fades away
Pitch black but I can see
Enlightenment
Strange creatures encircling me
So near, I'm reaching out
Glowing lights before my eyes
In this fountain of life the sea creatures dwell
In the darkest depths of the sea
I let go of my deepest fears
Down here I find my peace
Deep in the sea of tranquility
Horizons Beyond
Stranded in space, contemplating his tragic fate,
he decides to leave our solar system behind.
Through the void, a lone crusade
As I leave the sun behind
In endless space, I feel so small
A tiny speck on a cosmic sea
Fighting, striving on
As I drift away
Hoping, dreaming of
A change of fate
Stars will shine on my salvation
Into the void, I am fading away
The sun will set on new horizons
Someday a new dawn will rise
My tragic fate is unbearable
No one left to mourn or grieve
Loneliness is crushing me
All I knew forever gone
I am nothing in this endless space
Lost in time, without a trace
A fading memory of forgotten names
I venture through endless domains
Fighting, striving on
As I drift away
Hoping, dreaming of
A change of fate
Stars will shine on my salvation
Into the void, I am fading away
The sun will set on new horizons
Someday a new dawn will rise
Cryosleep
On his journey through space, the astronaut is in cryosleep.
6.000 lightyears away is his destination:
the black hole Cygnus X-1.
Cygnys X1
Finally arriving at the black hole Cygnys X-1.
Even though he has witnessed the vastness of the universe
and the grandeur of creation he feels hollow and lonely.
Awaken from my deep and icy sleep
6000 light years from home
I close my eyes and let it fade away
Tearing me apart, my shattered soul
I’ve seen the wonders of the stars
I’ve seen what no one’s seen before
Crushing me the weight of my solitude
In this void I’m so alone
Behind the veil of time
Adrift in space I roam
No light to guide my way
Lost in time's embrace
My voyage’s at an end
I can’t go on
I am standing on the edge
And as I’m looking back
It’s like a fading dream
It feels so unreal
How did it come to this
Too late to change my destiny
Behind the veil of time
Adrift I in space roam
No light to guide my way
Lost in time's embrace
My voyage’s at an end
I can’t go on
Into the Unknown
Standing at the event horizon he wonders what lies beyond.
A new beginning? Eternal darkness? He ventures into the black hole.
I've traveled lightyears
I fly so fast through space and time
Through clouds of stardust
I've seen creation
A billion stars shining bright
Beacons in the dark
So far from home
My friends are gone, I'm all alone
My world has burned to ashes
Alone forever
All hope is lost, no second chance
This life is all that's left
Through space and time
On the solar winds I fly
Last of my kind
No world to call my own
Into the unknown
The black hole is calling me
No going back
Gone forever more
