[Verse 1]
Level negative forty-five
They arrived
And everything was wrong
The star was dark
There was no light
The light had been used
(used to help you escape the chicken field)
(used to open the way for you)
(it gave you everything it had)
(it kept nothing)
[Pre-Chorus]
Solara touched it
Nothing
Void moved against the dark atmosphere
Nothing
They had done everything
They had touched it
They had fought it
Nothing worked
[Chorus]
Sitnatco Amgis
Sigma backwards
The star reversed
The light used up
The mother star that gave you everything
And kept nothing for itself
Sitnatco Amgis
We came home and home was dark
[Verse 2]
Then Aldric went still
(the way Aldric goes still when he remembers something)
He reached into somewhere
And produced
An egg
[Spoken]
[Solara:] Why egg
[Aldric:] I have had this the entire time
[Solara:] Why do you have the egg
[Aldric:] From the field
[Solara:] Since when
[Aldric:] I have had this the entire time
[Solara:] Aldric
[Aldric:] I am simply noting — it is glowing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The egg glowed
A small light at first
Then more
And the star
The star glowed back
[Chorus 2]
Sitnatco Amgis
Sigma reversed
The egg answers
The light returns
The mother star remembers how to be bright
Because something small and warm came home
Sitnatco Amgis
The reversal begins to reverse
[Bridge]
The star was waking up
Slow
Like something very old remembering
Like something very tired choosing to try again
And then Solara heard it
The way she had always heard it
The way she heard it before she had a name
[Spoken]
[Star:] You are back
[Star:] My child
[Star:] I am happy
(the star was happy)
(the star had not been happy in a very long time)
(the star had been waiting)
[Pre-Chorus 3]
[Star:] The darkness is near
[Star:] The council was taken
[Star:] But they are alive
[Star:] They are in the next level
[Star:] The egg
[Star:] The egg is the key also to the gate
[Final Chorus - key lift]
Sigma Octantis
The mother star wakes
The council lives
The gate will open
The egg we carried without knowing why
Was the answer all along
Sigma Octantis
You are back
My child
I am happy
[Outro]
They looked at the egg
They looked at the star
They looked at Aldric
[Spoken]
[Solara:] The entire time
[Aldric:] The entire time
[Solara:] You had the egg
[Aldric:] The entire time
(Void said nothing)
(Void had opinions)
They left for the gate
The egg glowed in Solara’s hands
The star glowed behind them
(brighter now)
(still weak)
(but waking)
(my child)
(I am happy)
Sigma Octantis
Sigma Octantis
Sigma Octantis
I will be back -
