lyrics

Narrator speaks:
Miller and Violet flew straight space to the satellite lab that housed the new teleporter, Violet’s crowning achievement, a doorway to anywhere.

Miller sings:
We borrow a ship and set a course towards the lab, high above New Paris on the moon.
They’ve been illegally testing there in secret all this time,
Folks will tend to get nervous if they find you’re making black holes in their yard.

A standing gravity wave was found, in orbit around the moon, a spacetime ripple that no-one could explain,
She used the lab like a watermill, drew power from the wave,
All the energy she could want, to teleport through space.

The Minister ran the covert program by herself, all the glory is hers, if it succeeds.
But now she’s hiding a body and police can’t be involved.
I just got out of the frying pan, now I’m into the firing range.

Everybody’s got their fear within, Everybody’s in a labyrinth.
There's no escaping, no escaping yourself.
Everybody makes their own way in, everybody’s in a labyrinth.
There's no escaping, no escaping yourself.

Violet headed up the new experiments, facing up to the tragedy we caused.
She fired lasers in hydrogen, formed stars within the lab.
Collapsing them instantly, warping space at will.
With tireless work, she saw the system taking shape.
She had to test the teleport herself.
Violet was the first to go through and it seemed success was theirs,
But two people materialised, two Violets, dead and alive.
Everybody makes their own way in, everybody’s in a labyrinth.
There's no escaping, no escaping yourself.

Minister Antoinette Fiennes receives a call from the lab:

Fiennes:
“Minister Fiennes speaking.”

Security:
“Morning Minister. Vicefield and McKee have arrived at the lab. They have the Vicefield body with them. ”

Fiennes:
“Good. If McKee tries to pull anything, or make a run for it, kill him.”

Security:
“Yes Minister.”

Fiennes:
“Be vigilant, he’s slippy. If he does run off, transmit a deadly charge to his bio-trace. That will be that.”

Security:
“Understood.”
