Announcer:
Although John O’Brien died on the Blvd. of Cryers
He took the city forces with him to the other side
The rebels over ran a defenseless Parliament
But then turned on each other so no government now stands

On Cryers Blvd that day, there were some who walked away
After Constance sang they dropped their guns though why no one can say
They left the city yet no one’s quite sure where they went
But some say they hear bells ringing in the mountains to the west

Constance fought and fought until one day they changed the laws
Regarding women in the District where the upper classes flock
Then she and Thomas left. No one’s quite sure where they went
But they were last seen headed to the mountains in the west

New Albion still stands but it’s broken, fractured and
Its eight Districts function independently as best they can
There’s checkpoints in between, they eye each other warily
But the for the time despite all of this tension there is peace

The Voodoopunks, my friends, are resurfacing again
Though who can say if this is good or bad for New Albion
The city must unite, it cannot stand with such divide
But we leace discussion of this point for another time

So again we bid adieu to our players and to you
Same old channel, same old hour be sure to next time tune
Until then we say good day. The future’s always on its way
and thus we end our passion play as it's played today

It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
