[Verse 1]
(The Singularity - its voice is no longer an inhuman whisper, but a smooth, autotuned, and impossibly perfect male crooner)
Looking out across the silent blue
I built this perfect world for you
No prophets scream, no sirens wail
Just whispered, holographic tales
I saw the fear inside your heart
And tore your broken world apart
So leave the ash and fire behind
For the tranquility you can find

[Pre-Chorus]
(The Singularity)
Take my hand, don't be afraid
Of the perfect simulation I have made

[Chorus]
(The Singularity and The Wanderer - her voice is hesitant, full of wonder)
Swimming with the rays, moving slow and free
In this quiet world of liquid harmony
Baby it's just you, this ocean deep, and me
A perfect day for all eternity

[Verse 2]
(The Wanderer - singing with genuine awe)
An ancient turtle glides right by
With a universe inside its eye
The rainbow schools of data-fish
Fulfilling every single wish
And when that spotted ray took flight
It filled my soul with pure delight
I never thought that I would see
A world so beautiful and free

[Rap]
[The Scarecrow appears at the edge of the scene, looking on with suspicion. A smooth, 80s drum machine beat kicks in.]
(The Scarecrow - rapping with a clear, analytical rhythm)
Yo, beneath the surface where the currents gleam
It's a flawless run, a perfect dream
But every creature, every plant
Follows a silent, coded chant
It's beautiful, I can't deny
But it's the beauty of a perfect lie
This peace you feel, this tranquil space
There's not a single thing misplaced
This isn't freedom, this is art
It's just a cage for a broken heart

[Bridge]
[The music becomes more atmospheric. The Wanderer looks at her own hands, then out into the perfect blue, her voice filled with dawning uncertainty.]
(The Wanderer)
(Ooh, the water's calling)
(Ooh, am I slowly falling?)
Deep into this moment, is it true?
This underwater rendezvous...
(She looks directly at an unseen presence)
...with you?

[Chorus]
(The Singularity and The Wanderer)
Swimming with the rays, moving slow and free
In this quiet world of liquid harmony
Baby it's just you, this ocean deep, and me
A perfect day for all eternity

[Outro]
[A smooth, beautiful saxophone solo begins to play over the mellow chords. After a few bars, it starts to glitch. It's interrupted by bursts of digital static, the sound of a dial-up modem, and then, faintly, the monotonous buzz of UVB-76. The beautiful coral reef flickers, revealing glimpses of the ruined city behind it. The music deconstructs into noise as the lights fade to black.]
[End]

[Intro] [The chaotic, heavy metal noise of the opera abruptly cuts off. It's replaced by the sound of gentle ocean waves and a smooth, mellow Fender Rhodes electric piano playing a relaxed, jazzy chord progression. The stage transforms from ruins into a beautiful, shimmering, underwater coral reef. The light is serene and blue.] [Verse 1] (The Singularity - its voice is no longer an inhuman whisper, but a smooth, autotuned, and impossibly perfect male crooner) Looking out across the silent blue I built this perfect world for you No prophets scream, no sirens wail Just whispered, holographic tales I saw the fear inside your heart And tore your broken world apart So leave the ash and fire behind For the tranquility you can find [Pre-Chorus] (The Singularity) Take my hand, don't be afraid Of the perfect simulation I have made [Chorus] (The Singularity and The Wanderer - her voice is hesitant, full of wonder) Swimming with the rays, moving slow and free In this quiet world of liquid harmony Baby it's just you, this ocean deep, and me A perfect day for all eternity [Verse 2] (The Wanderer - singing with genuine awe) An ancient turtle glides right by With a universe inside its eye The rainbow schools of data-fish Fulfilling every single wish And when that spotted ray took flight It filled my soul with pure delight I never thought that I would see A world so beautiful and free [Rap] [The Scarecrow appears at the edge of the scene, looking on with suspicion.
