Amber:
It said "Book of Spells" but they didn't work well
And at thirteen years what did I know
I was shy and alone, picked on fiercely and so
Hoped i’d just make them leave me alone

This is back in the days when the civil war raged
And my folks backed a government win
They found the book that I had, thought that I had gone bad
So for my own good, they turned me in

I spent three years inside that place
My mind they pried and tried to break
I learned to smile and learned to say
A nеw world’s gonna come one day
A new world’s gonna comе one day

When three years had passed I was let out at last
At 16 went back to my home
All I did there was tell my folks to got to hell
And then left out into the unknown

I ended up down in the caves underground
With the voodoopunks as the war raged
A woman there named Katy Shaw kept me safe
And looked after me all those dark days
I spent three years down in those caves
Inside that dark and chilly place
I learned to dream, believe and pray
A new world’s gonna come one day
A new world’s gonna come one day

It was actually me who came up with the plan for Katy to steal the MCG. Inside informants told us where the government hid their top secret plans, but we couldn’t get near it. Katy had told me about how there was a drug that made her go back in time to when the city was just a prairie, so I suggested that Katy take the drug, go back in time and carry a compass. She should walk to the right coordinates and when the drug wore off, bam, she’d be in the secret room. She did, grabbed everything she could find, then took another dose and went back to the prairie. She walked back to the friend’s ground floor apartment where she had started, and when the drug wore off this time, she was back with folders full of top secret information. She had also brought back this other innocuous random object, this MCG, which she tossed to her friend Mark as thanks for him letting her use his place. And that’s how the MCG was put in play

And now I work for our Arcadia Corp
Theres an agent named Connor I love
We’re set to be married and everything’s very
Exciting I have all I want

The evolution of man was Arcadia’s plan
The Eight Circuit Consciousness Map
We were all working towards till some vague unnamed source
Dropped a theorem in somebody’s lap

Maths I cannot understand
Prove that there exists a land
The unconscious realm it is a place
And now they want to go one day

Arcadia now two factions has
One wants to open other lands
The other to evolve the brain
And I will help in any way
To bring a new world round someday
The old one, it can fade away
A new world it will come one day
A new world it will come one day
