[Verse 1: The Traveler & Shadow (Merged Voice – Gritty but Soaring)] (The horizon is a circle that I’ve finally stepped inside) (Nowhere left to run and there is nowhere left to hide) (The 10-meter ants are weeping, the tiny giants sing) (I’m the jester in the counting house, I’m the pauper and the king) (The heat is in the snowflake, the ice is in the flame) (I’ve forgotten my own face, and I’ve forgotten my own name!)

[Verse 2: The Mentor (Sammet style – Pure Power)] (Look up into the center! See the eye of the machine!) (The bridge between the world of acts and the world of what has been!) (Aversa isn't stone or soil, it’s not a distant star) (It’s the map of every wound and every hidden, holy scar!) (The knowledge you were seeking was the silence in your chest) (Welcome to the final breath! Welcome to the rest!)

[Chorus: The Final Proclamation (Full Cast & World Choir)] (Oh, Srdce Paradoxu! Where the truth begins to bleed!) (We’re the garden and the gardener, the soil and the seed!) (Everything is nothing, and the nothing is the all!) (We’re flying through the ceiling as we’re breaking through the fall!) (Aversa! The mirror of the soul!) (The fragment that is finally made whole!)

[Movement II: The Hall of Infinite Mirrors (Classical Waltz)] [Tempo shifts to a majestic 3/4 Waltz – Orchestral and elegant] Amanda Somerville: (Dancing through the memories of a life I never led) (Feeding on the ugly dreams on which the angels fed) (Is it real or is it fiction? Is it glass or is it bone?) (You are sitting in the theater, and you’re sitting all alone!)

[Movement III: The Dragon’s Reckoning (Herman Li Overload)] [Sudden tempo explosion – Extreme Speed Metal] [Guitar Solo: "The Universal Glitch"] (Insane tapping, sounds of a computer crashing on guitar, 32nd note runs, chaotic but melodic harmony)

[Bridge: The 5-Octave Transcendence] [Music stops. Only a low, vibrating synth bass] Traveler (Deep Baritone): (I am the earth...) Traveler (Mid Range): (I am the wind...) Traveler (High Tenor): (I am the fire...) Traveler (Super High Soprano Scream): (I AM FREE!)

[Movement IV: The Convergence (The Trio Harmony)] [Heavy, slow, crushing "Manowar" style rhythm] Lande: (The sun is cold!) Sammet: (The night is bright!) Amanda: (The dark is light!) All: (AVERSA!)

[Final Chorus: Maximum Intensity – The Ultimate Climax] (Oh, Srdce Paradoxu! Where the truth begins to bleed!) (We’re the garden and the gardener, the soil and the seed!) (Everything is nothing, and the nothing is the all!) (We’re flying through the ceiling as we’re breaking through the fall!)

[Outro: The Awakening] [Orchestra reaches a deafening volume then suddenly cuts to a single Acoustic Guitar] (The Traveler whispers:) (It was always me...) [Herman Li style final melodic lick, very soft and clean] [Sound of a deep breath] [Single church bell chime] [End]

[Intro: The Collapse of Logic] [Quiet, ticking clock sound that suddenly shatters like glass] [Pipe organ blast followed by a 200 BPM galloping riff] [Orchestral brass section playing the main Aversa theme in a minor key] [Verse 1: The Traveler & Shadow (Merged Voice – Gritty but Soaring)] (The horizon is a circle that I’ve finally stepped inside) (Nowhere left to run and there is nowhere left to hide) (The 10-meter ants are weeping, the tiny giants sing) (I’m the jester in the counting house, I’m the pauper and the king) (The heat is in the snowflake, the ice is in the flame) (I’ve forgotten my own face, and I’ve forgotten my own name!)
