[For the full story - check out my Alpha Centauri playlist] [Lyrics by Greenwolf] [This was a frustrating song to remix. Do to the length of the original and had to do extend to get the full content. I also decided to use this to test the new editor as I felt the instrumentals needed expanding as the original offered ones were insufficient. Only managed to complete one new section with new editor and that involved around 5 or 6 crashes while generating new inserts. Result is I had to finish in the legacy editor but then the volume was all over the place. Using the broken remaster it took about 20 - 30 gens just get it this consistent, and even then I wouldn't say it was perfect but it was by far the best option I had.] [Verse 1] A short circuit in the ship's computer core Affects the shields integrity field The ship drops out of hyperspace Next to a nebula but in an asteroid field [Verse 2] The AI instigates evasive maneuvers But can't avoid the nearest asteroid While Dan and Steve rush to the core To repair and replace any circuits destroyed [Short Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] The ship plots the safest route through the asteroids And heads into the neighbouring nebula Two of the port thrusters have taken damage The engineers will have to go outside despite the danger [Short Guitar Solo] [Pre-chorus] Millions of lives dependent upon them To repair the ship and resume course again [Chorus - Syncopated Drums] Above and beyond Whatever it takes to complete the journey Above and beyond Dedication has shown them worthy Above and beyond The mission comes first [Short keyboard solo] [Verse 4] Dan and Steve are ready in their suits Amy gives them both an anti-radiation shot They both put their helmets on And step inside the air lock [Verse 5] Both are tethered together and step outside To fix the damage that will need to be sealed The blueish violet of haze of the nebula swirls above them Kept abay by integrity of the shields [Complex Guitar Solo] [Syncopated Guitar Riff] [Keyboards Interlude] [Verse 6] Steve clips himself to the top of the third thruster And begins his repairs as Dan approaches the fourth Tirelessly removing debris and patching the holes Until all repairs have been done on the ships port [Verse 7] As Dan heads back a large chunk of debris Scrapes the space helmet's visor face He loses balance as he checks the damage But his grav boots keep him from drifting into space [Slow Guitar Riff] [Pre-chorus] Millions of lives dependent upon them To repair the ship and resume course again [Chorus - Syncopated Drums] Above and beyond Whatever it takes to complete the journey Above and beyond Dedication has shown them worthy Above and beyond The mission comes first [Short Melodic Guitar Solo] [Slow instrumental break] [Emotional guitar solo] [Break] They make it back inside The repairs appear a success Time for a stiff drink And a deserved rest [Pre-chorus] Millions of lives dependent upon them To repair the ship and resume course again [Chorus - Syncopated Drums] Above and beyond Whatever it takes to complete the journey Above and beyond Dedication has shown them worthy Above and beyond The mission comes first [Melodic Guitar Solo] Drink in hand Dan looks out the window The blueish mist seems to have a life of it's own. And it is then he hears a voice [Ending]
