Apocalypse survivors

about

Exodus is a musical story. The story each track illustrates is in the lyrics.

lyrics

In the waning days of 2347, humanity took its final flight away from a world that had been its cradle and now its imminent tomb. The five ships that comprised the Exodus Project were a testament to the courageous spirit of a species that refused to give up. But as they jettisoned through the void of space, the 10,000 survivors on board grappled with a myriad of emotions.

They were alive, and that was something to be grateful for. Yet, the sight of Earth's annihilation from the safety of the ships was a heartrending reminder of all that had been lost. As they hurtled through the darkness of space, the survivors were gripped by a gnawing sense of guilt. Why had they been chosen to live while billions had perished?

As the ships gradually accelerated to escape the gravitational pull of the solar system, the 10,000 survivors could only look on in horror as they watched the remnants of their world disappear from view. But they had to continue their journey. For if they didn't, all would have been for naught.

As they sped further and further away from Earth, the survivors had to come to terms with the knowledge that their destiny was tied to the whims of space. The planets identified by the scientists back on Earth were their only hope, but they were still light years away.

In the end, it was a race against time. The engines strained and groaned as they propelled the ships ever closer to their destination. But there was no guarantee that they would arrive in time. And as the remainder of humanity looked out into the endless expanse of space, they knew that their future was far from certain.
