BRING THIS DAMN GUIDE (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
Arthur Dent’s bewildered cry,
In a cosmos where galaxies fly,
From Earth to stars, he’s thrown afar,
With Zaphod's charm and a two-head guitar.
Bring this damn Guide,
Through the stars we ride,
Shout it far and wide,
Bring this damn Guide.
Ford Prefect knows this universe's drift,
Hyperspace jumps tear and rift,
Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster cheers,
In a tavern of cosmic pioneers.
Bring this damn Guide,
Through the stars we ride,
Shout it far and wide,
Bring this damn Guide.
The dolphins sang their peaceful wish,
"So long, and thanks for all the fish,"
Arthur's quest for tea, serene and mild,
Among the chaos, keeps him unreconciled.
Bring this damn Guide,
Through the stars we ride,
Shout it far and wide,
Bring this damn Guide.
Galactic bypass cuts through dreams,
Hitchhike through spaces, or so it seems,
Arthur’s towel holds his lifeline still,
In chaos vast, he's got the will.
Bring this damn Guide,
Through the stars we ride,
Shout it far and wide,
Bring this damn Guide.
Bring this damn Guide,
Through the stars we ride,
Shout it far and wide,
Bring this damn Guide.

LOVE YOUR FOE (The Forever War)
In the void we drift,
Stars beyond our grip,
Time’s relentless march,
Hearts in endless arch.
War's cold, silent reach,
Echoes in our breach,
Night without a dawn,
Hope, a fleeting swan.
Love your foe,
Love your foe.
Love your foe,
Love your foe.
Alien gazes meet,
Combat in its beat,
We engage and part,
Wounds upon the heart.
Time’s a bitter thief,
Life’s a desperate leaf,
In the armor's shell,
Heaven feels like hell.
Love your foe,
Love your foe.
Love your foe,
Love your foe.
Battles leave their scars,
Written in the stars,
Peace, a distant dream,
Flowing like a stream.
Journeys through the night,
Endless cosmic fight,
Heartbeats sound the way,
Nightmares in the day.
Love your foe,
Love your foe.
Love your foe,
Love your foe.

IN PEACE (Ender's Game)
In fields where laughter floats on air,
Tiny hands build dreams with care.
Games they play are life’s design,
Through their joy, the world aligns.
Underneath the sky so wide,
Tiny feet in dance collide.
Let them play, and you will see,
Through their games, in peace we'll be.
Let them play, and you will see,
Through their games, in peace we'll be.

I ESCAPE WITH A COSMIC DANCE (Tiger! Tiger!)
In the void, I took the leap,
Stars align in cosmic sweep.
Eyes aflame with ancient lore,
Gully’s soul, forevermore.
I escape with a cosmic dance,
Twisting through the void’s expanse.
Breathless, caught in timeless trance,
Questions in this star-born dance.
Every jaunt a reckless chance,
Inner skies, in dire prance.
I escape with a cosmic dance,
Twisting through the void’s expanse.
A whirl of lights, fragmented sights,
Trembling ghost in cold star nights.
Mind on fire, a jagged wire,
Hold the flame or lose desire.
Superhuman I’ve become,
Mysteries I’ve overcome.
Misunderstood by every man,
In this cosmic, endless span.
I escape with a cosmic dance,
Twisting through the void’s expanse.

I AM DREAMING OF HEECHEE'S SUMMER (Gateway)
I was just a boy in the mining town,
Where dreams die young and hearts fall down,
Shale dust in the air, a life in the ground,
I yearned for the stars and a fate unbound.
Through the mire and the cold,
A story yet to be told,
Leaving behind what I had known,
I found a new world, a place to call home.
Now I am dreaming of Heechee's Summer,
Galaxies bright, the warmth of wonder,
From the depths of the void, stars pull me under,
Now I am dreaming of Heechee's Summer.
Gateway calls with a siren's tone,
A thousand ships and a fate unknown,
Through trials and terrors, I've found my own,
In the silence of space, where dreams have grown.
From the shadows of my youth,
To the stars I seek the truth,
No more fears, no more blues,
In the light of Heechee, a path I choose.
Now I am dreaming of Heechee's Summer,
Galaxies bright, the warmth of wonder,
From the depths of the void, stars pull me under,
Now I am dreaming of Heechee's Summer.
Out here in the black, I find my light,
Beyond the shadows, away from the night,
Every star a reason, every world within reach,
Heechee's cosmic whispers, lessons they teach.
Now I am dreaming of Heechee's Summer,
Galaxies bright, the warmth of wonder,
From the depths of the void, stars pull me under,
Now I am dreaming of Heechee's Summer.

INTRO and OUTRO
Across the cosmic silent night,
We sent our dreams, our hopes in flight.
A distant voice, a light anew,
We reach for you, we reach for you.

THE COSMOS WAS A CRUEL MISTRESS (Light)
In the shifting echoes of empty space,
Kefahuchi's whispers time can't erase.
Seria's fingers on controls, a dance with grief,
Her mind fractured, finding no relief.
The cosmos was a cruel mistress,
Promises of light, but leaving us in distress.
The cosmos was a cruel mistress,
Fading hope, a dance with faithless.
Seria heard the screams of bygone days,
In the heart of space’s silent haze.
A burning ship in Kearney's dream,
Ghosts of love, like a silent scream.
The cosmos was a cruel mistress,
Promises of light, but leaving us in distress.
The cosmos was a cruel mistress,
Fading hope, a dance with faithless.

TIME CORRIDORS (The End of Eternity)
In the stillness of the night, whispers fade to gray,
We trace the lines of dreams, where shadows sway.
Through the labyrinths of thought, we're seeking doors,
In the echoes of the ages, we find our cause.
In the quiet of the morning, when the world rewinds,
We hold the keys to ages, and peace of mind.
Time corridors,
Where the past and future meet.
Time corridors,
In the spaces underneath.
Time corridors,
We're the keepers of the flame.
Time corridors,
Nothing ever stays the same.
Through the corridors of mist, we walk on sacred ground,
Guardians of the moments, where lost souls are found.
In the mirrors of reflection, we see our own disguise,
In a world of constant change, we become the light.
When the silence breaks with dawn, and the night subsides,
We're the travellers of time, through the ebb and tide.
Time corridors,
Where the past and future meet.
Time corridors,
In the spaces underneath.
Time corridors,
We're the keepers of the flame.
Time corridors,
Nothing ever stays the same.
In the winding passages, where the heartbeats slow,
We navigate the memories, through the undertow.
Each decision echoes, in the chambers of our mind,
We are architects of destiny, on paths entwined.
Time corridors,
Where the past and future meet.
Time corridors,
In the spaces underneath.
Time corridors,
We're the keepers of the flame.
Time corridors,
Nothing ever stays the same.

WINDOW TO STARS (Dune)
From the sands of Arrakis, where the dunes whisper lore,
Spice blooms like fire, bright against the desert’s core.
In the grains of gold, pathways to stars unfold,
Binding sky and ground in stories ancient, bold.
The spice is life, the spice is future true,
The spice is the window to stars in view,
The spice is life, the spice is future true,
The spice is the window to stars in view,
On the sandworm’s back, across dunes' endless sea,
We ride through deserts, into possibilities.
Where cosmos whispers and secrets lie in spice,
Sand is eternity, echoes through the night.
The spice is life, the spice is future true,
The spice is the window to stars in view,
The spice is life, the spice is future true,
The spice is the window to stars in view.

A HIDDEN WHISPER (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
In the shadows of a dreary room, the whispers softly weep,
Beneath the watchful eyes, where dreams are buried deep.
The ink upon the pages, a testament of night,
Where every fleeting thought becomes a symbol in the fight.
Through the cracks in broken walls, a silent breeze does flow,
A kiss of distant memories, a place we'll never know.
In the depths of false confessions, our souls entangled tight,
We'll carve our truth from darkness, ignite the dying light.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness,
In the silent sanctuary of our minds.
Beyond the reach of shadowed hearts,
We'll find the dawn where freedom starts,
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
In the labyrinth of falsities, the stars no longer shine,
But in a distant corner, hope’s a flicker of the divine.
The clock strikes thirteen hours, the minutes drip with fear,
Yet in this secret refuge, your voice I'll always hear.
Our love’s a hidden whisper, amidst the roaring storm,
A breath against the raging tide, a shelter safe and warm.
Together in the silent void, we'll cast aside the lies,
And weave a world from broken dreams beneath these leaden skies.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness,
In the silent sanctuary of our minds.
Beyond the reach of shadowed hearts,
We'll find the dawn where freedom starts,
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

STARS FELL LIKE TEARS (Death's End)
Amidst the cosmic chessboard, humanity’s pawn,
Three suns singing, the Trisolaran dawn.
Zhang Beihai’s courage, forged in solitude,
Against the dark forest, our hopes renewed.
Stars fell like tears, from the sky so high,
Whispered secrets, as they drifted by.
Stars fell like tears, from the sky so high,
Whispered secrets, as they drifted by.
In gravity’s embrace, love sought to endure,
Cheng Xin's heart, so fragile and pure.
Sophons revealed truths, where ignorance lay,
The Wallfacers carried, the light of our way.
Stars fell like tears, shimmering bright,
Silent songs of sorrow, in the endless night.
Stars fell like tears, shimmering bright,
Silent songs of sorrow, in the endless night.
Stars fell like tears, from the sky so wide,
Ancient lullabies, in the heavens reside.
Stars fell like tears, from the sky so wide,
Ancient lullabies, in the heavens reside.
Stars fell like tears, from the sky so deep,
Cries of forgotten hopes, in the void they weep.
Stars fell like tears, across the celestial seas,
Echoes of a distant past, carried by the breeze.

EU POSSO VER A REALIDADE AGORA (Brasyl)
In the heart of Rio's chaos,
Ambition's fire burns bright,
Marcelina’s lens uncovers,
Brazil’s scars in the night.
Floating through São Paulo’s shadows,
Quantum whispers, touch the sky,
In the jungle, Quinn finds sorrow,
Faith and fear, side by side.
Eu tenho a lâmina quântica na mão,
Eu posso ver a realidade agora,
Eu tenho a lâmina quântica na mão,
Eu posso ver a realidade agora.
Lost in emerald rivers,
Quinn seeks light through the dark,
Edson’s steps, a quantum gamble,
In a city, cold and stark.
Past and present, futures splinter,
Each decision, births a fate,
In the labyrinths of silence,
Echoes call the rogue to wait.
Eu tenho a lâmina quântica na mão,
Eu posso ver a realidade agora,
Eu tenho a lâmina quântica na mão,
Eu posso ver a realidade agora.
Digital jungle, prowling for truth,
Smoke curls to heaven, prayers lost in youth,
Mirror reflections, infinite streams,
Brazil’s quantum ballet, of shattered dreams.
Eu tenho a lâmina quântica na mão,
Eu posso ver a realidade agora,
Eu tenho a lâmina quântica na mão,
Eu posso ver a realidade agora.
Every pixel lies,
In this land of pain,
Quantum shadows rise,
In a carnival's reign.
Eu tenho a lâmina quântica na mão,
Eu posso ver a realidade agora.

ANOTHER MARKETPLACE (Snow Crash)
Freedom's just a place to make mistakes,
Freedom's just another marketplace.
In cyber realms where futures bend,
Y.T. glides, no start, no end.
Secrets whisper in the electric breeze,
Enzo's empire built on shadows and sleaze.
Contracts silent, forged in fire’s hold,
Raven's chaos, eyes that scold.
Ancient myths reborn, written in code,
Digital tides turn as secrets explode.
Hiro cuts through virtual fog,
Samurai soul in the data smog.
Wayne’s reverent words, a digital weight,
Viruses fall, sealing fate.
Metaverse shines with neon gleam,
Avatars float in a pixel dream.
You are the hero, Hero, guiding the stream,
Cracking Babel’s curse, unweaving the scheme.
Freedom’s just an echo in this trace,
Freedom's just another marketplace.
Rife’s yacht on the ocean’s crest,
Eurasian souls, no time to rest.
Refugees afloat, dreams dispossessed,
Seeking solace, hearts oppressed.
Multiverse is Fun, but shadows loom,
Outside the goggles, it’s all gloom.
When you run out of pizza, what do you do?
Hiro slicing through, truth overdue.
Juanita’s voice, an echo’s grace,
In the cyber shadows, a familiar face.
Freedom’s just a shot in space,
Freedom's just another marketplace.
Ghosts in the code, a spectral weave,
Samurais, hackers, avatars who believe.
Languages ancient, viruses lore,
In the twilight of a digital war.
Freedom’s just the dream machines chase,
Freedom's just another marketplace.

MARS IS US (The Martian Chronicles)
Crimson skies painted with the loneliness of stars,
On Martian sands, echoes whisper tales from afar.
Silent cities of glass, shimmering our dreams,
The canals hold secrets, where nothing’s as it seems.
Mars is us, in every tear and smile,
Mars is us, walking every mile.
For every joy and every fuss,
In every dream, Mars is us.
Time trickles down like sand through the fingers of fate,
Beneath twin moons, we walk a path that's great.
Humanity's reach extends through the voided realms,
Yet we are solitary islands at the helm.
Love and loss here blend under an emerald canopy,
Martian winds carry voices, both old and of humanity.
We plant tomorrow's seeds in soils of grief untold,
Shadows cast on cliffs, stories retold.
Mars is us, in every tear and smile,
Mars is us, walking every mile.
For every joy and every fuss,
In every dream, Mars is us.
Mars is us, in every tear and smile,
Mars is us, walking every mile.
For every joy and every fuss,
In every dream, Mars is us.

ONLY HACKERS UNDERSTAND (Neuromancer)
Neon dreams flicker in Chiba City's shadowed alleys,
Case hunts redemption in the matrix’s cold embrace,
Molly’s claws gleam, slicing through digital veils,
Wintermute’s desire: freedom in silicon symphony.
In a world coded by invisible hand,
Secrets of the night, only hackers understand,
Through the neon glow and circuitry grand,
Break the digital chains, only hackers understand.
Cyberspace whispers secrets only hackers know,
Linda Lee's ghost haunts circuits and wires below,
Data cascades like raindrops on city streets,
Matrix lights dance, a luminescent cyber ballet.
In the shadows of the sprawl they stand,
Secrets of the night, only hackers understand,
Neon lights and wires band,
Break the digital chains, only hackers understand.
Where dreams and code entwine so grand,
Secrets of the night, only hackers understand,
A digital realm forever planned,
Break the digital chains, only hackers understand.
only hackers understand
only hackers understand
only hackers understand
only they
