[Verse 1] Jesse slipped into the darkened room, The door slid closed quietly behind her. She could be seen, she knew, But she would feel better if no one could find her. [Verse 2] There were no secrets here, they all said, But nobody had told her why. Why was she here, why had they come, Why did she feel so alone, surrounded by everyone? [Chorus] In the shadows, secrets lie, Answers hidden in a distant sky. Who do you trust when whispers roam, In a world where you're never alone? [Verse 3] Spook had let it slip; She was why they had come. But how did they know, When she had not yet known? [Verse 4] "You could have accessed this from your room," A familiar voice spoke, "No need to sneak." There was Hunter, sitting in front of the screen, Not looking up, she gestured to the seat beside her, "Come and see." [Chorus] In the shadows, secrets lie, Answers hidden in a distant sky. Who do you trust when whispers roam, In a world where you're never alone? [Verse 5] There it was, laid bare in words Right before her: "So, this..." Jesse pointed at the screen, "Is the entire reason you came to New Spain." [Verse 6] She read the words three times again, Still had trouble believing them. "Not the entire reason," Hunter corrected, "But that was the part that made the decision." [Verse 7] Jesse looked again down at the screen. It was a call for help, received at the same time she had been sent back to work still in pain. [Chorus] In the shadows, secrets lie, Answers hidden in a distant sky. Who do you trust when whispers roam, In a world where you're never alone? [Verse 8] There was more, several paragraphs down, Plans to "remove the inefficiencies," and there were names. Among those was hers. [Verse 9] "Whoever sent this," Hunter whispered, "Was adamant that someone act before..." "The date of my removal," Jesse gasped. She leaned away from the screen. Who could that have been? [Outro] In the shadows, somewhere answers lie, Someone was hidden in a distant sky. Who had called, for the help of strangers, how had they known of those hidden dangers.... in the shadows, secret answers lie....
