LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Level fifteen
The expanse opened
The way things open
When you have never seen them
And then suddenly
You do
No wall
No ceiling
No end in any direction
Just
Space
In every direction it has ever existed
(the crew did not speak)
(for a long time)
(even The Hero)
(even The Hero did not speak)
[Pre-Chorus]
The Hunter said: how far does it go
Castor said: further than the maps
The Queen said nothing
She was already calculating
SOLARA said: Aldric
How far have we come
[Chorus]
Nebula, nebula
We are standing where no one has stood
Nebula, nebula
From our system, from our world
We crossed the line that held us back
And the universe just kept going
Nebula, nebula
And we have so far left to go
[Verse 2]
The Swan turned slowly
Three hundred and sixty degrees
(why)
(he wanted to see all of it)
(at once)
(did it work)
(he said: mostly)
The Laborer looked at the stars
The way someone looks
At something they remember
From a time they cannot name yet
The Hero said:
I knew it would look like this
The Hunter said:
You did not know it would look like this
The Hero said:
I had a strong feeling
[Bridge]
Aldric looked up from his notes
He said:
This is level fifteen
He said:
We have sixty-four levels remaining
Before level seventy-nine
He said:
Statistically
We have barely started
(the crew looked at the expanse)
(the never-ending expanse)
(in every direction)
Aldric said:
I am simply noting the data
[Final Chorus]
Nebula, nebula
Sixty-four levels of this
Nebula, nebula
Sixty-four levels of MORE than this
We crossed the line that held us back
And the universe just kept going
Nebula, nebula
We have so far left to go
And we are going
All of it
Every level
Every star
We are going
