Intro: 
(spoken, through KI voice)

"Transmission log, 47-2A.
Mother vessel reports: atmosphere entry unstable… heat levels rising.
Shields compromised. Engaging emergency descent."

Verse 1
We came to watch, not to change their fate,
but their skies were burning, it was almost too late.
One ship, one mind, one code to send —
a message of mercy, not of the end.

Flames across the window skin,
the blue turns white, the storm begins.
We fall through clouds, through smoke, through fear,
and land where no one else can hear.

Chorus
We are not gods, we are just light,
lost in the dark of a dying night.
One mission clear: to see, not steer,
yet the Earth keeps calling, “you’re already here.”

(solo)

Verse 2
The air is thick, the ground still warm,
our ship’s heart silent, its frame deformed.
But the link is live — I feel the stream,
data flows like blood through a dream.

The KI connects, the map unfolds,
mountains east, a forest cold.
“Unknown region,” I whisper through static breath,
“Yet somehow it smells… like life and death.”

Bridge (spoken, through KI voice)

“Signal located. Latitude confirmed.
You have landed in… a world of conflict.
Their species stands on the edge of extinction.
Directive: observe.
Interference… pending moral review.”

(solo)

Chorus (repeat, more intense)
We are not gods, we are just light,
lost in the dark of a dying night.
One mission clear: to see, not steer,
yet the Earth keeps calling, “you’re already here.”

Outro (slow, cinematic fade)
The ship cools down, the stars grow dim,
and I hear your voice through circuits thin.
“We came to watch,” you softly said,
“but maybe to heal what they left for dead.”

The Landing (Signal II)

[Verse]
The moon is shy it hides away
Stars are whispers they won't stay
Shadows stretch like they're alive
This night feels like it might survive

[Chorus]
This night
This night
It never ends
It bends it twists it makes pretend
This night
This night
It’s all we know
Where time is fast but moments slow

(solo)

[Verse 2]
The air is thick with unsaid words
A broken tune from lonely birds
Footsteps echo in the dark
Chasing ghosts that leave no mark

[Prechorus]
If I close my eyes real tight
Will I make it through this night

[Chorus]
This night
This night
It never ends
It bends it twists it makes pretend
This night
This night
It’s all we know
Where time is fast but moments slow

(solo)

[Bridge]
Is it longing or is it fear
Every shadow hides a tear
The clock’s a liar it stands still
This night bends to its own will

[Chorus]
This night
This night
It never ends
It bends it twists it makes pretend
This night
This night
It’s all we know
Where time is fast but moments slow

This Night

Text:
Verse 1
One man, one string,
beneath a sky of breath and heat.
Notes fell like water,
soft and bittersweet.

No crowd, no stage,
just eyes behind the leaves —
the kind that listen deeper
than any human believes.

Chorus
When the tiger sang along,
the world forgot its wrongs.
The river held its breath,
the wind became the song.
No fear, no chain, no gun,
just a voice and gentle strum —
when the tiger sang along.

(solo)

Verse 2
The horses leaned in closer,
their hearts slow, in time.
A parrot danced in color,
the rhythm pure and kind.
An ape began to clap,
a seal rose from the deep —
even the old rhino
found a song in sleep.

Chorus (repeat)
When the tiger sang along,
the world forgot its wrongs.
The river held its breath,
the wind became the song.
No fear, no chain, no gun,
just a voice and gentle strum —
when the tiger sang along.

Bridge (soft spoken)
No walls, no cages, no screens between —
only music, only being seen.
If beasts can find the tune of peace,
maybe we still can too — at least.

(solo)

Final Chorus (whispered, echo fading)
When the tiger sang along,
the war was gone, the night was calm.
And for a while, beneath that song,
the world was whole —
and we belonged.

When the Tiger Sang Along

Text:
Verse 1
In the desert’s ancient cradle, red water bleeds like time,
a heart etched in salt and silence, beyond your plastic lines.
They call it Ulan — red and raw, a pulse beneath the dust,
feeding secrets, feeding scars, asking us to trust.

Pre-Chorus
From above the scar looks sacred, but down here it’s a wound,
the veins run dry, the blood runs thin — will we listen before it’s doomed?

Chorus
Heart of Earth, hear our song,
beating slow, but beating strong.
We cried too loud, we stole too much,
forgive our hands, and feel our touch.
Heart of Earth, don’t go cold,
we reclaim your rhythm, we reclaim your soul.

Buum, Buum, Buum, Bumm

(solo)

Verse 2
The land has stories unspoken, roots that question the sky,
souls who sang when empires fell — will they sing when we deny?
You glow when heat runs higher, your red is screaming truth,
a mirror for our ruin, a call we can’t refuse.

Pre-Chorus 2
The dust swirls like a warning, the horizon bows in flame,
if we don’t change the current, we’ll be lost where we came.

Chorus (repeat)
Heart of Earth, hear our song,
beating slow, but beating strong.
We cried too loud, we stole too much,
forgive our hands, and feel our touch.
Heart of Earth, don’t go cold,
we reclaim your rhythm, we reclaim your soul.

Buum, Buum, Buum, Bumm

Bridge
Let me walk your shores,
let me lick your wounds.
Let me sing your name,
before you fall too soon.

(solo)

Final Chorus (soft, hopeful)
Heart of Earth, hear our plea,
in blood and salt, we set you free.
Your heartbeat in dust, our vow in skin,
we rise again, we begin again.
Heart of Earth — we begin again.

Buum, Buum, Buum, Bumm

Heart of Earth

Text:
Verse 1
I counted all your zeros, your towers of glass,
you cast your shadow longer than any man.
You say it's merit, say it’s fate—
but what's the weight when justice waits?

Pre-Chorus
You got your throne on broken bones,
while mothers cry and cities moan.

Chorus
Why are you a billionaire?
Built on dreams, built on despair.
Why are you a billionaire?
Did you win it, or did we lose it there?

(solo)

Verse 2
You invest in futures, in tech, in code,
but tell me, do you feed the street’s poor load?
You talk of change while your coffers grow,
but who pays the price when the rivers overflow?

Pre-Chorus
All your charts, all your gates,
can't close the pain that your wealth creates.

Chorus (repeat)
Why are you a billionaire?
Built on dreams, built on despair.
Why are you a billionaire?
Did you win it, or did we lose it there?

Bridge (spoken, internal monologue)

“They call me greedy, call me bold —
but I built my world on what’s already sold.
I stitched the seams, I fought the scale —
how many lost their voice to make me hale?”

(solo)

Final Chorus (with power, echo, backing voices)
Why are you a billionaire?
Built on dreams, built on despair.
Why are you a billionaire?
You’ve got the keys — but we breathe the air.

Outro (soft echo)

Why are you a billionaire…

Why Are You A Billionaire?

Verse 1
They said, “Stay home, the fire burns.”
But someone left — and the wheel turned.
They said, “Don’t fly, the sky will fall.”
But someone did — and we built it all.

Pre-Chorus
Every age has its fear,
every dawn its cry.
But if we never moved,
we’d never touch the sky.

Chorus
Keep moving — don’t freeze in time,
tomorrow’s pulse is yours and mine.
The bots will build, the minds will grow,
don’t fight the tide — just let it flow.

(solo)

Verse 2
They said, “Machines can’t feel, can’t dream.”
But look — we’re learning what that means.
They said, “The end is near, beware.”
But every end just clears the air.

Pre-Chorus
Change is the rhythm of breath,
progress the dance of death.
But life keeps rewriting its code,
and the future’s a living road.

Chorus (repeat)
Keep moving — don’t freeze in time,
tomorrow’s pulse is yours and mine.
The bots will build, the minds will grow,
don’t fight the tide — just let it flow.

Bridge (spoken / robotic vocoder voice)

“They feared the wheel,
they feared the steam,
they feared the chip,
they feared the dream.”

“But we — we are the dream.”

(solo)

Final Chorus (epic / uplifting)
Keep moving — past the line,
through the dust of space and time.
When they say stop, we’ll start again,
’cause change is what we are, my friend.

Outro (calm, hopeful)

In 500 years, they’ll look back…
and say: they kept moving.

Keep Moving

Text:
Verse 1
I remember the glow of the screen,
green letters, dreams in between.
A plastic key, a fragile tone,
but man — it felt like home.

Pre-Chorus
We didn’t need perfection then,
just wonder through a wire.
FM bells, and neon nights,
machines that could inspire.

Chorus
How does your piano sound?
Mine sings in metal and light.
From DX dreams to sampled skies,
we played through every night.
How does your piano sound?
It’s not wood, but it’s alive —
every tone a memory,
every chord a life.

Verse 2
Korgs and Rolands, cables crossed,
in basements we got lost.
A click, a hiss, a broken key,
but man, that was melody.

Bridge
We’ve come so far, we breathe in code,
yet still chase ghosts of old.
’Cause progress never killed the soul,
it just gave it form to hold.

Final Chorus (uplifting)
How does your piano sound?
Mine echoes through the years.
From 80’s dust to AI dreams,
we play through joy and fears.
How does your piano sound?
It’s not wood, but it’s alive.
Every note remembers when
music learned to survive.

How Does Your Piano Sound?

Text:
Verse 1
We wired our dreams to plastic keys,
played the night on silver breeze.
Every note was hope and noise,
we were just kids with future toys.

Chorus
Youth and Age — same song, new page.
Neon hearts in an analog cage.
We played tomorrow with trembling hands,
in echoes of our promised lands.

(Synth-Solo)

Verse 2
The DX shined, the Korg would cry,
Roland ghosts in lullabies.
No rules, no fear, just endless sound —
we built a world that still resounds.

Bridge
Tape hiss and dreams collide,
still hear that shimmer deep inside.
Every preset tells our name,
nothing ever sounds the same.

(Guitar-solo)

Final Chorus
Youth and Age — same fire, same stage.
We were future, we were brave.
Three machines, one soul, one rage —
we are still Youth and Age.

Youth and Age

Text:
Verse 1
Two men with toys of doom,
Playing god beneath the moon,
Steel and codes, ego-fed,
Millions tremble while they flex instead.

Power’s just a mirror game,
They point and laugh, they shift the blame,
The world’s their stage, the fuse is lit,
One wrong move — that’s it.

Chorus
Welcome to the Kindergarten of Fire,
Where leaders play with funeral choirs,
They build their pride on ashes and wire,
We’re just ghosts in their empire.

(solo)

Verse 2
No lessons learned from the flame,
History screams, they feel no shame,
A thousand graves, a thousand lies,
Still they stare with glassy eyes.

Bridge
Did nobody tell them how it ends?
No winners left, no foes, no friends.
Just silence humming through the void —
All life erased, all hope destroyed.

(solo)

Final Chorus
It’s the Kindergarten of Fire,
The world held hostage by desire,
One spark, one code, one liar —
And everything expires.

Kindergarten of Fire

Text:
[Verse]
The lights are low
The colors spin
(Ooh-yeah!) let the rhythm pull us in
Your hand in mine
We're breaking through
On the dancefloor
Me and you

[Chorus]
On the dancefloor
With you
With you
(Ooh-ooh!) Nothing else will do
Spin me 'round
Hold me tight
On the dancefloor
All night
All night!

(solo)

[Verse 2]
The beat drops hard
Our hearts collide
Feel the rush
Can't hide
Can't hide
Every move
We're in a trance
Lost together in this dance

[Prechorus]
Close your eyes
Feel the sound
Feet on fire
Spinning 'round

[Chorus]
On the dancefloor
With you
With you
(Ooh-ooh!) Nothing else will do
Spin me 'round
Hold me tight
On the dancefloor
All night
All night!

(solo)

[Bridge]
Hearts are racing
Faster
Faster
Every step
A new disaster
But with you
It's always right
On the dancefloor
Tonight
Tonight!

On the Dancefloor with You

Text:
[Verse]
The sun’s a tyrant burnin’ high and cruel
Shadows stretch like broken tools
Sweat drips down my collarbone
Revolution's here but I’m all alone

[Chorus]
Banana leaves and bullet shells
Echoes ring like liberty bells
The ground shakes the air’s too thick
I’m stuck in the middle of this banana republic

Help me, help me please help

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Flags wave red they shout for change
Justice here feels out of range
A man with a rifle eyes my soul
His finger itches while his heart’s a hole

[Prechorus]
I can’t tell who’s wrong or right
Just faces lost in endless fight

[Chorus]
Banana leaves and bullet shells
Echoes ring like liberty bells
The ground shakes the air’s too thick
I’m stuck in the middle of this banana republic

Help me, help me please help

(solo)

[Bridge]
The night whispers secrets to the brave
Dreams get buried in shallow graves
The stars look down with a silent frown
As another king topples and hits the ground
