Beyond the Event Horizon (Interstellar)

V6

[Beyond the Event Horizon] [ Verse 1: Male and Female Duet ] The cornfields wither under skies of choking haze A pilot sees the dust in patterns start to phase The binary is mapped upon the wooden beams It leads to secret gates where NASA builds its dreams [ Verse 2: Male and Female Duet ] Professor Brand prepares the Lazarus design The ship Endurance waits beyond the Saturn line Young Murph is hiding underneath a heavy sheet He drives away before they have a chance to meet [ Pre-Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] The countdown echoes through the silos in the dark They leave the dying world to find a living spark [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] We cross the dark to find a better way to stay The light of home will never truly fade away A tether made of more than simple time and space The only thing the lonely years cannot erase [ Pre-Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The wormhole opens like a giant silver eye They trade the safety for a cold and distant sky [ Verse 3: Male and Female Duet ] The water planet turns a moment into years The crew returns to find a harvest made of tears TARS counts the decades they have left behind A father’s promise is the only rope they find [ Bridge 2: Male and Female Duet ] The video plays back within the silent room A father sees his family blooming through the gloom Two decades of their lives were folded into one He weeps for every moment underneath the sun [ Pre-Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet ] The docking sequence spins against the bitter cold A desperate story that is waiting to be told [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The miles between us form a strong and sacred bond To reach for something waiting in the far beyond The promise is a debt we always meant to keep While diving through the hollow silence of the deep [ Verse 4: Male and Female Duet ] The ship is torn apart by Gargantua’s pull He drops into the void to make the data full Amelia sails to find a new frontier While Murph perceives the truth is finally clear [ Bridge 1: Male and Female Duet ] He falls within the dark where gravity is thin The Tesseract reveals the rooms he’s once been in The Hamilton watch ticks with a rhythmic twitching hand He sends the code so Murph can finally understand [ Pre-Chorus 4: Male and Female Duet ] The answer lived within the ticking of the gears A message sent across the music of the spheres [ Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet ] This ancient love remains a guiding human force To steer the lonely traveler on his steady course A bridge that spans the limits of the human soul To make the broken spirit finally feel whole [Instrumental Break - Melodic Strings and Ambient Piano Swell] [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] We reach across the stars to hold the silver light To find the path within the longest winter night The gravity of love will pull us safely through To keep the ancient word we gave away to you [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The dust has settled on a brand new morning shore The pilot isn't searching for a ghost anymore The watch is still, the math is written on the wall A father’s journey ends, he answered every call
