[Lonesome Ark] Cold glass, black sea, we drift through infinity. A flicker cuts the dark, a voice, or just the spark? Screens hum, lights align, a ghost speaks through the line... "Should we go?" I breathe, they nod beneath the steel. [Ghost Signal] ...sshh–is... hel–p... br–brkk... enn–g... go–ne... (hrrt)... so... far... ca–... ...lo–st... st–a... rrss... [Lonesome Ark] “Send reply,” I say, “in response to distress. This is the Lonesome Ark, we are coming, God bless.” Engines burn through haze, hope hums beneath the dread. No stars, no gods, just fate, and static in our head. [Ghost Signal] Ths... zzrk... bre–... part, En–nnn... goone... haa–rt, If... s'm... hee–... ahh... W’rr... los–ss... 'mong... s–ta–rrs... [Lonesome Ark] "Maybe it’s a trap," one whispers in the blue. "But maybe it’s a soul," I say, "just like me and you." Metal sings, hull creaks, the dark begins to bend, each pulse feels closer now, like it’s calling from within. [Ghost Signal] Thi—zz... we’re... break... apart, Eng—gone... takes our heart... If... some... can... hee–ar... We’re... lo-st... mong the sta–ars... [Lonesome Ark] There’s warmth in that tone, I swear I’ve heard it cry. A tremor in the code, a ghost beneath our sky. The voice is half my own, and half I cannot name... The silence swallows light, but the signal stays the same. [Ghost Signal] Th– this is... please, we’re... br–breaking apart, Engines... gone... the dark takes our heart. Can... someone hear? ... we’re so far... We’re... lost... lo–lost among the stars... [Lonesome Ark] The beacon burns below, the storm begins to bloom. "We’ve reached the source," I call, and then the engines doom. Metal screams, lights die, we fall into the spark, "Send the message out," I cry, "before we lose the Ark!" [Ghost Signal/Lonesome Ark] This is the Lonesome Ark, please, we’re breaking apart, Engines are gone, and the dark takes our heart. If someone can hear, oh gods, we’re so far, This is the Lonesome Ark… we’re lost among the stars.
