lyrics

Violet waits in a locked meeting room on the White Rose.

Narrator sings:
Violet, stranded helpless in an empty room,
Sees the circling stars and the whirling moon, dreams lay wasted in a future tomb.


Violet, the woman at home in the great unknown,
A pioneer like she always hoped,
Faces her fate in a cage alone.

Soothsayer’s Column unafraid of death,
Ripping through the ship to the bridge head deck,
No resistance from these well-fed flakes,
Soothsayer’s Column fight tooth and nail.
They reach Navigation, hack their way inside,
Crew executed, prisoners put in line,
Soothsayer enters, to seal their fate,
The new pilot of the White Rose takes his place.

Violet, a name deserted in a well of souls.

Violet speaks:
“Wait a minute, that’s not right. The star-field is shifting. We can’t be moving like this... oh no! Guards! Guards?! Where have they gone?
Hey! HEY! WorkBot! Come over here… Developer utility, username Fiennes K Antoinette, password AKF452201, grant administrator rights to proxy Dr. Vicefield, Minister privilege! Let me out of here.”
WorkBot:
“Administrator rights require special clearance - official DNA authentication. Please provide official DNA authentication.”

Violet:
“Wait… the lipstick Miller swiped! Here! Scan this and let me out!”

On the Bridge Head Deck...

Jonah Soothsayer:
“Your excellency, I have jammed external communications and patched you a comm link throughout the ship, you can address them all.”

Throughout the White Rose space station, every speaker and screen activates and whistles to life. Krown speaks to all of the residents of the station from his vessel.

Krown:
“To all the passengers of the White Rose. My name is Krown. Consider me your new Admiral. This ship has been claimed in the name of Gods’ Soldiers. You shall disembark safely in good time, unless you wish to leave now by an exhaust pipe. There shall be no more bloodshed, as long as there are no further attempts to thwart us. We only wish for our own freedom, to live as we wish upon this ship. We have gathered an embarrassment of terrified celebrities here in comm tower, as insurance. If we feel threatened, we will behead them one by one. For proof of this intent, please observe the head of Minister Antoinette Fiennes, which is on a railing spike at the Ministry gate. For now, simply sit in your palatial homes and keep quiet.”

Narrator sings:
Violet rides a shuttle to the bridge head deck
Hailing reinforcements, raising code red.
Trying to hack the channels that the horde has jammed.
Working out a route on the maintenance plans.
Soothsayer’s final course is engaged,
Time to evacuate, Krown awaits.
The Column escape before he leaves this place,
Then, turning down a corridor, he sees a face...

Soothsayer sings quietly, the words from his dream (from the song “Waiting To Be”).

Soothsayer:
“Hello, hello, ma bella. You don’t belong in here.”

Violet:
“JONAH?!”
