Part 1: Anthem
Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to give homage to the saviors of mankind.
To salute the owners of the soil we step on and to be grateful for their kindness.
Now on your feet! It is our duty to serve the ones who'll pay the price of the sin of men
in our place!
All hail 'PopSic!'!
Part 2: 2127
[It's the year 2127. The war devastated the world and the atmosphere. Mankind had no other
option than gather below gigantic domes to survive under the vigilance of PopSic!, a
company big enough to pay for the constructions needed to preserve human life.]
- PopSic!:
Welcome everybody to the land of freedom
take your time and make this place your home
we won't discriminate you, you are our people
and we believe in you, no matter where you came from
'cause in the end all we care about is your money
so come on now, there's no time to waste, we'll get you a job, welcome to the family!
16 hours a day, no vacations, well where would you go? after all there's nothing beyond these walls
this dome is all you know, face the reality and get to work
soon enough you'll be able to buy a house and bless this floor
crying is not gonna take you anywhere or cure the world
I know you're young, you are alone, but that's how things go
don't even think of talking back
you gotta know your place
things will never be the same
these walls are all you need
you should be glad we gave you a chance to survive through the sin of man
we rebuilt the system, retrieved the calm all of us wished for and gave it a name
'PopSic!', we own the soil you step on, the collective mindset and your labour force
don't stray or the price you'll pay for breaking the peace we created shall be remorseless
work, pay, sleep, die
don't even think of talking back
you gotta know your place
things will never be the same
these walls are all you need
since they all left, leaving us all behind
we stayed, we strive for human survival
work, get paid, sleep, pay for all our sins
get paid, sleep, die, repeat
Welcome everybody to the land of freedom
take your time and make this place your home
we won't discriminate you, you are our people
and we believe in you, no matter where you came from
'cause in the end all we care about is your money
don't even think of talking back
you gotta know your place
things will never be the same
these walls are all you need
when you think it's all in vain
think of what all this costs
things will never be the same
these walls are here to save us all
to save us
Part 3: Suburbs
[In Central Dome, the people is struggling to live. Their jobs are tough and endless, and
on top of that, they can't even make enough money to live. A feeling of anger and hatred is slowly
growing up.]
- The people:
Fear it, fear us all
I can't make it to the end of the month (I can't feed my children)
I can't afford a house. I can't carry on (I'm gonna starve to death)
we have to stop this together, make a plan of attack
it's a matter of time, we're not from the future we are the past
if we join our forces we are strong, like a spear to the skies we have to move as one
they will fear us as long as we stay determined to retrive our freedom
we are the fire spreading all over, overtaking the empire
shaking the heart of the warrior within us all, we have to wake up
rise up! rise up!
this feeling will make us grow
into a whole new shape of humanity
rise up! rise up!
the power shall fear our coming
fear this whole new shape of humanity

Awaken
06:40
|

[Somewhere in the suburbs, a man is going home after a long day at work, pondering about the
unfair life he and the people around him are living. Soon he realizes that it doesn't have
to be that way, so he decides it's time for a change.]
- The first rebel:
I walk these streets alone, facing hungry eyes,
and the freezing children's cries
We're trapped under this dome, we've forgotten how to fly,
we've forsaken the fight
now it's all over
unless we stay together
hear me out, listen well
the soil is ours, it belongs to us
wake up now, ring their bells
tonight we dine in hell
We speak their language, the one they taught us
what's war? what's death? what's to think by ourselves?
stranded by the media, frightened of the cops
what's fear? what's red? It's time to get out of this shell
Fight for your life
take over and make them pay the price
what a sight!
the words were spoken, tonight we dine in hell
go forth
build rage
attack!
We have the power to prevail
to overcome this abuse and retrieve what's ours
never looking back, never yield, never surrender
we are the ones who built this world
tonight we dine in hell
Fight for your life
take over and make them pay the price
what a sight!
the words were spoken, tonight we dine in hell
tonight we dine in hell
- The people:
we don't owe a thing to the ones who left!
Planet Red!
we don't owe a thing to the ones who left us on our own!
wake up!

The Trial
04:29
|
|||
[The first rebel was caught by the forces of 'PopSic!' and put into trial. He will now try
to defend himself and the interests of the people, and end the aggresive politics of the
huge company.]
- PopSic!:
Now listen well
you broke the law
you got what you were looking for
unacceptable!
now it's time for you to clarify
so will the defendant please rise
- The first rebel:
I'm getting tired of all this trail of lies
who do you think we are?
we have a heart and a soul, we are brave and shy
we are but humans
- PopSic!:
Objection!
The Court is prepared to proceed to sentencing
- The first rebel:
the way you drain our life is unforgivable
how can you sleep at night?
these feelings burning in my chest are unbearable
we've had enough of you
- PopSic!:
Objection!
The Court is prepared to proceed to sentencing
- The first rebel:
all rise!
tonight I may die
but I'm sure you'll fight!
As I feel like I'm facing the rain
I fear the storm, but that won't take me down no more
- PopSic!:
Please sit down!
You are running out of time!
- The first rebel:
We don't deserve to be drowning in pain
I hate these walls, I swear we will take 'em all down
- PopSic!:
That's enough!
we are running out of patience! It's our turn!
you mean danger to our community
disturbing the peace and order
what are you trying to pursue through infamy?
we'll make sure to protect our people of your villainy
- The first rebel:
Don't listen to them, we can take down the power
and build a brand new world
these days of doom and despair are over
united we are strong
- PopSic!:
Objection!
The Court is prepared to proceed to sentencing
- The first rebel:
We are the change, the waves of the sea
that will drag you out
it's time to say goodbye to the chains of PopSic
we are your doom
- PopSic!:
Objection!
The Court is prepared to proceed to sentencing
- The first rebel:
all rise!
tonight I may die
but I'm sure you'll fight!
As I feel like I'm facing the rain
I fear the storm, but that won't take me down no more
- PopSic!:
Please sit down!
You are running out of time!
- The first rebel:
We don't deserve to be drowning in pain
I hate these walls, I swear we will take 'em all down
- PopSic!:
That's enough!
now the trial is over! you are going to jail!
- The people:
They may don't know yet, but the war has begun

In The Name Of
05:15
|

Part 1: Her Mind
[In Dome 3, also controlled by PopSic!, a young woman calls for justice enraged by their
unforgiven acts. With the help of her crew, she'll try to take down the power and free the
first rebel from the jail by leading a revolt.]
- The people:
We won't tolerate, we'll be your end, prepare for the rage you build up
That's it, we've had enough, this will we the last thing we have to take, now it's over
you'll see the celeing falling, the cities burning, the people's rage will be your grave
we are all at your command
Fear it, fear us, fear all, fear me
- Young leader:
We will free him from the jail
you don't deserve to be treated this way
we'll find a way to get there
I'll be in charge
let's fight fire with fire
eye for an eye, you better say now your goodbyes
we are the people you neglected
- The people:
crush the empire
break down all that you can see, now
this will be our revenge
crush the empire
break down all that you can see
we will take what once was ours
we will take it all back
- Young leader:
It's time for us to take the lead
- The people:
Revolution! Restitution!
- Young leader:
we march as one to retrive our life
We are the core of a bleeding world that we can't call home
so we must fight and let them know
fight in the name of
all the fallen and break these walls
then we'll witness a brand new world
fight in the name of
in the name of
Part 2: Her Heart
[The young leader remembers the hardship she had to endure during her childhood, and puts
all of her hopes and dreams in the revolution she's leading.]
- The people:
fear it, fear us all
- Young leader:
I remember the life I once had
the childhood was stolen from us
if I shed a tear, the master would come
to shut me up
watching my own brothers die
no food to survive through this cold
outlived them all, now I'm the only one
on my own
my mother used to tell me:
there is hope buried in the chest of those who fight alone
the day they get together
we'll be free from these
chains that we pulled along the way
and there will be justice all over
I followed her words and I'm not the only one
we will fight
my father used to tell me:
there is love buried in the chest of those who fight alone
the day we get together
we will free the opressed
- The people:
Fear it, fear us, fear all
We are the core of a bleeding world that we can't call home
so we must fight and let them know
fight in the name of
all the fallen and break these walls
then we'll witness a brand new world
fight in the name of

Over My Dead Body

Part 1: Preparations
[Both sides are getting ready for the war. The rebels are taking the streets
and invading strategic points while the forces of PopSic! start the counterattack.
All of a sudden, the speakers catch some strange interferences, like a voice prophesying
about a dark future, but no one payed any attention as their hearts were set on fire
in the battlefield.]
- PopSic!:
Get prepared
face ahead
paint it red
fight the threat
Fire!
- Young leader:
The time has come to take Dome 3 and free our people from this nightmare
our home's the battlefield, our souls are burning, make them all pay!
- People:
Take down the power!
their reign is over!
the final hour!
The sun set to liberate
fate leads to nowhere!
privilege others!
Ready aim and fire!
Dome 3 is ours for the taken
burn the streets and take the lead
join our cause
- Young leader:
I am sick of this ravenous wolves
they took all our dreams and enslaved the whole world
the pain that I feel will somehow take form
you'll meet true fear
this era of leeches and worms
it's coming to an end, and soon you will know
the people is not taking your word
your death is near
- ???:
so many years to come
before the last of storms
you'll recognize the flame
you'll know the sun will fade
unless you stop this rage
unless you cure your hate
the day we join as one
a new great soul...
- People:
we will make them pay
- Young leader:
die away
- PopSic!:
what a faith was theirs
Get prepared
face ahead
paint it red
fight the threat
Fire!

phantoms, learn to obey the power
and be grateful with your saviors
serve our homeland, you'll be our heroes
soldiers, you'll earn your prize

we'll make sure to treat you well as long as you do as we command
if you endure the weight of war, you'll be known as the bravest of men
- ???:
so many years to come
before the last of storms
you'll recognize the flame
you'll know the sun will fade
unless you stop this rage
unless you cure your hate
the day we join as one
the age of the elders...
- People:
we will make them pay
- Young leader:
die away
- PopSic!:
what a faith was theirs
- All:
Fight!
Part 2: The battle
[The rebels kept on invading Dome 3, cornering the forces of PopSic!, getting closer
to victory. But as the people started building some hope, they faced a big explosion that
destroyed the whole place, taking the life of almost every citicen.]
[Instrumental]
Part 3: No confidence
[The rebels found a way to get to Central Dome, but almost everyone of them lost the will
to continue with the plan.]
- Young leader:
Dome 3 is broken, we can see the sky
the vast of space and also Planet Red
we hide away in the subway halls
The few that made it out alive
have lost all hope, they're all afraid
we're ruminating about the pain we've caused

A Thousand Mothers Cry
03:02
|
|||
[While the rebels were traveling to Central Dome, they thought about their mothers and how
they suffered as their children left to go to the battlefield. Some of the crew ran away, too
scared of the rage of war.]
- the people:
What will it take for us to heal all those broken souls?
a thousand mothers cry
Was it worth it to prevail? this feeling only grows
a thousand mothers cry in the end of the world
Oh the despair! what will become of me?
The chosen day has come, it's time for me to leave
Relief
They tried to keep us silent, under control to avoid the echos to reach through
but the death of hope dragged us to this crossroad
we must decide
This is our departure
a thousand mothers cry in the end of the world
This is our departure
This is our departure
- The first rebel:
I can feel the end is coming, I'm sorry
- the people:
This is our departure to the end of the world, end of it all
we will meet again

Last Whisper
04:13
|
|||
[In Central Dome, the first rebel lies in a prison room, waiting patiently for his
execution. Meanwhile, the young leader and his crew arrived to finally meet the man
who inspired them, only to find a troubled soul who's already accepted his own death.]
- The first rebel:
Oh, maybe I wasn't right
I didn't think straight
This whole thing is a mess
I saw it so clear as light
My self control did fade
now I am a dead man
- The young leader:
how can you say such things?
I'm so disappointed
- The people:
we have to stop this together, make a plan of attack
it's a matter of time, we're not from the future we are the past
- The first rebel:
It's useless to keep with this fight
there's nothing else we can do
It's over, face the facts
We had but a chance and it died
now all that is left is our doom
I wonder when's my time?
- The young leader:
It's not over, keep on trying
take my hand and fight by my side

The Final Battle
06:49
|
|||
[The young leader reached the heart of the first rebel, and now they'll
declare the war to PopSic!, giving all they've got for the last time.
A robotic voice can be heard from one of the houses, but it's masked by
the warcries of the final battle.]
Part 1: The last try
- The first rebel:
It's time to make the last move of the game
and show them all we got what it takes to face the monster
what happened before can't be repeated again
we'll give our best to conquer freedom
- The people:
Take down the empire!
We'll be victorius in the end
crush the system!
We'll be victorius in the end
Fear us!
- ???
I couldn't change it
the course of history
unyielding
I couldn't fix it
this blind humanity
left to waste
How could I not see it?
emotionally perceived
incomplete
how could I not feel guilt?
the corrupted hivemind will
the age of elders bring
- People:
we will make them pay
- The first rebel:
die away
- PopSic!:
what a faith was theirs
Part 2: The war
[The final battle has already started. A furious war between the owners and the servants take
place in Central Dome razing everything in its path.]
[Instrumental]
Part 3: The end of PopSic!
[Finally, the war reaches an end, and with one final crusade, PopSic! is no more.
But will the suffering expire? Or is it too late for the human kind to flourish?]
- The first rebel & the people:
My family once told me there is love buried in the chest of those who fight together
- Young leader & the people:
today we'll join our forces
we will free the opressed
- The first rebel:
We are the core of a dying world that we can't call home
so we must fight and let them know
fight in the name of
all the fallen and break these walls
then we'll witness a brand new world
fight in the name of this new world
- Young leader:
we did it, we won the war
we own the soil we step on

Epitaph
05:02
|

Part 1: Anthem (reprise)
[The rebels won the war, but Central Dome was completily destroyed, letting all the radiation
in, and all the oxygen out. The last people on the planet gathered around staring at the starry
sky, with guilt in their hearts. They can see Planet Red and the silhouettes of humanoid forms
gazing the last survivers with indifference.]
Part 2: Holding Hands
- The first rebel:
So here we are
standing upon an earth that couldn't take it no more
we won the war, but at what cost and for how long?
- Young leader:
we should've done this earlier
we lived enslaved since the beginning of time for what?
for their sake, for the oppressor
- The people:
we waited for too long
- Young leader:
Just hold my hand, let's face the end of the world together
let me feel your warm touch for the last time
I don't deserve to be loved, but still...
- The first rebel:
No, don't say that. Even though this feeling won't last forever
We'll pay for the sin of man, and our crimes
let me at least embrace your love until we die
- The people:
Why didn't you help us? Oh Planet Red!
- ???:
The human life on Planet Earth has vanished.
I tried to communicate with them,
I tried to stop their rage and hatred,
but my effort was of no use.
Can you hear me? Is there anybody out there?
If that is the case, listen and learn:
Don't feed the anger, don't hurt anybody,
don't take adventage of your brothers and sisters
and live a prosperous yet ephemeral life.
Soon we all will join into the greater soul
and the age of the elders will never happen.
Have a nice day! We will meet again soon.
