Race to the new world

about

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

lyrics

The Ark had been pushed to its limits. The engines were coughing and sputtering, the hull was creaking, strained to its limit. Jade and Gray had been monitoring the instruments, their hearts pounding in their chests, as they approached the final destination. The planet they had chosen showed promise, but there was still so much they didn't know.

As they descended through the atmosphere, they caught glimpses of the rocky terrain below. They had hoped for lush green forests and fields, but it seemed that this planet was barren and lifeless. They exchanged a worried glance, but they had come too far to turn back now.

Finally, the Ark came to rest on a flat terrain, Jade and Gray rushed to the airlock and stared out at the desolate landscape. The ocean they had seen from orbit was nowhere to be found. Instead, the ground was strewn with sharp rocks and boulders.

They stepped outside, their boots crunching on the rocky ground. As they surveyed their surroundings, they realized that the ship had suffered more damage than they had anticipated. The landing had been rough, and now they could see that many of the ship's systems were failing.

The 3,000 survivors, Jade and Gray knew that they were stranded. They were alone on an alien planet, with no idea if it could sustain life or what they would encounter next.

Sometimes, I shoot it.
Sometime, music is in my head.
Sometimes, I record it. ... more
