Lyrics
“Open your eyes, open your eyes”,
“Open your eyes,
An indistinct voice calls her
A soft whisper
Demanding her
Demanding her to recall
“What is this?”
The story now repeats itself
As she confronts her duality
Is there a monster behind the mirror?
Or is this the reflection of a newborn hero, newfound humanity?
Trying to make up her mind with
Fuzziness and fear
The missing key to the puzzle: the control of the ship
All paths lead to the same dead-end
A reminder of my insignificance
A bigger scheme that was forced upon me
Or maybe a riddle I was born to win
A review of the intricacy of past events
“A transmission! That horrid voice she heard!”
Left her with one thought pestering her mind,
“Who are these wise ones? How could I be so blind?”
All paths lead to the same dead-end
A reminder of my insignificance
She gathers strength and crawls to the console,
A striking hope suddenly warms her heart-whole,
“Those two words will lead me
to the password but instead
encrypted files were the result
A cruel reminder that…
All paths lead to the same dead-end
A reminder of my own insignificance
All paths lead to the same dead-end
A reminder of my own insignificance
A bigger scheme that was forced upon me
Or maybe a riddle I was born to win
Disheartened, with yet another puzzle
Ignorant of the gears she set in motion
Opening the files triggers an alarm on Earth
Two journeys
