The seas are angry it seems.”
[Verse 1]
Inside Kai we traveled, the team all gathered tight
Heading toward Gate seventeen, into the unknown night
The waters grew restless, currents pulling strong
Upwellings and downwellings, making the journey long
The crew held together, all trying to stay calm
Vellum offering swimming advice in case
Toes offering toast with charm
Shelly wobbled on her new legs, the turbulence too much
Timo caught her gently, their hands brushing with a touch
[Pre-Chorus]
She looked at him, warmth blooming in her chest
A feeling she couldn’t name, but knew was for the best
[Chorus — adventurous & tense]
Upwellings and Downwellings
Pulling us through the sea
Upwellings and Downwellings
Toward what we cannot see
The gate is calling, the force is fighting back
But we push forward… no turning back
[Verse 2]
Kai pushed harder, “Hold on tight, honorable crew!”
The gate shimmered ahead, a barrier breaking through
Shelly held onto Timo, heart racing in the sway
He steadied her gently, “Are you alright?” he’d say
Vellum glowed softly, “There are forces keeping us away”
Toes kept offering toast, “Can we offer toasts today?”
The bright light engulfed them as they broke on through
A deserted place awaited… what would they do?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The place looked desserted and dark and new
Scattered and broken machines and unknown devices too
[Chorus — adventurous & tense]
Upwellings and Downwellings
Pulling us through the sea
Upwellings and Downwellings
Toward what we cannot see
The gate is calling, the force is fighting back
But we push forward… no turning back
[Bridge — mysterious]
Then some shadows drew closer, the air thick with unknown
A new chapter waiting… in this place alone
[Solo]
[CODA]
Together side by side we hold tight while Kai was silent
Toes on the ready with some toasts ready to dispense
Vellum glowing as if to warn us of what was coming
Shelly behind me trying to make out the figures approaching
[Chorus — adventurous & tense]
Upwellings and Downwellings
Pulling us through the sea
Upwellings and Downwellings
Toward what we cannot see
The gate is calling, the force is fighting back
But we push forward… no turning back
[Outro — tense cliffhanger]
“Who are you?”
“How did you get here?”
The light faded…
And the questions remained.
Then Timo stood and said
“I am Timo”
