Lyrics for Epilogue
[The last human on the Mars Colony had died, but his consciousness is transformed into the New Migrator. He follows the Migrator Trail to Planet Y, where he breathes life into the comatose Forever race by rekindling their emotions, thus ensuring that the spirit of man will live on. In the end, Mankind's brief existence has served a purpose after all.] A) Epilogue (Instrumental) B) The Memory Remains And in the end, when all the dreams are dreamt All your desires have long dissolved A feeling free, surreal serenity A desperate search for truth resolved All hope dispelled, forgotten dreams unquelled The frailest link within the chain Once brisk with life, too fragile to survive A barren world devoid of pain But the memory remains Starlight breaks, the sleeper is awake You understand your timeless quest A dormant waste, a cold, forsaken place Their bodies numb, their minds suppressed You've felt the screams, you have dreamt the dreams But most of all, you've lived the pain They will revive, you will make them thrive Your hopeless life's not lived in vain For the memory remains Can you feel them cry inside, Can you feel them die inside, You can still the screams in you, You can make their dreams come true [Dream Sequencer system offline] Remember forever...
