lyrics

Xander:

im sorry that i failed you one more time
im sorry that it broke down in a blaze of pain and fire
and when in that one moment you needed that last line
im sorry that i failed you one more time

Han:

Nearby in the park was a covered hole leading underground. It had existed long, long before the shanty town, and the park’s denizens knew to go to it in just such a situation. They had just opened it when Xander arrived, and they all threw themselves into the hole, down into the darkness.

Jane:

One day you will wake
not knowing what is coming
not knowing how the day will end that day

When it's done, ruin comes
and loss it will surround you
there'll be tears in the dark
and all you fear will hound you

and you'll cry away
you'll cry, you'll cry today

Lloyd:

I wouldn’t go that way if I were you. That way leads to dwarves and a wheel and I doubt you want to mess about with them. I once lived in these tunnels for some years and if you’re open to advice, if you go down that way you’ll arrive at a dark stone gate. Past that..... Well, I’ll admit, the faerie realms are not for everybody but you seem to be functioning under limited options.

That pouch of sand the girl is carrying, you’ll need that when you reach the gate. All of you will need to ingest a small amount, but once you do, you’ll be able to cross through. I sincerely wish you good luck and I’m sorry things have to go the way they will.

Han Mi:

The refugees staggered through the tunnels, soldiers behind them. As they neared the stone gate, Jane, the broken cyborg, finally passed out. The remains of her human limbs were mangled and drenched in blood and she could take no more.

Xander:

im sorry then i failed you one more time
all the things i love the most, i cannot keep alive
and just to see you kept from hurt id rather id have died
im sorry then i failed you one more time

Han Mi:

And so, 30 ragged and desperate refugees passed through the dark stone gate, into the faerie realm.

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. 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
