embers of antikythera - pulp musicals lyrics
narrator
ahlaam was tasked
with the island’s evacuation
moving every soul away from the attack
her powers getting drained
her limits frayed and strained
and she had one thing left to do
to cover their tracks
back to the antikythera
back to the ship that kept an orrery kept within
back to the antikythera
she teleported to the port
where it should have been
ahlaam
(exhausted) i’m too late…
narrator
the ship was in flames
the proud antikythera
burned to the heavens
crumbling into pieces
as if with a sigh
her journey had ended
(wood splintering)
taavi
ahlaam?
ahlaam
(afraid) wha– who’s there?
narrator
in the embers of antikythera
someone moving between the flames
taavi
ahlaam… is that you?
narrator
walking through the wreck
like the world wasn’t ending
ahlaam
(to herself) please, not him…
narrator
out of the embers of antikythera
a man approached with arms held wide
ahlaam fell into a trance
as tears filled her eyes
ahlaam
(sadly) taavi
taavi
i’ve missed you so much, ahlaam. did you miss me?
ahlaam
every moment. but– you’re not–
taavi
your husband stands before you, darling
take my hand
ahlaam
where are we going?
taavi
we haven’t sailed the antikythera
together in many years
ahlaam
it’s been so long
taavi
isn’t it time we changed that?
walk with me
ahlaam
forever, taavi
taavi
you’re almost there
just a little closer
ahlaam, taavi
and we’ll be free
ahlaam
i’ve been ready
ahlaam, taavi
i’ve been waiting
(thwap! teleportation!)
sia
ahlaam, no! get back! (radiance)
taavi
no! (his voice blisters apart)
sia
only a man as cruel as kal
would use such a dirty trick
ahlaam, do you have the orrery
we need to get out of here quick
ahlaam
no, sia, what have you done?
that was taavi, he was here
sia
no, ahlaam, he wasn’t real
taavi’s been dead for years
ahlaam
yes… yes, he’s… how did i…
kal
poor ahlaam. your powers must be completely
depleted to fall for something so obvious
sia
he’s got the antikythera’s orrery! ahlaam, help me!
ahlaam
i can’t– i have no magic left–
kal
too little, too late, as usual. thanks for the orrery, it’s going to make finding your new blazing world much easier
sia
kalfu, no!
kal
race you to the gates! (evil laughter)
(he dissolves into fog)
narrator
margaret was still on the coast
trading blows with the giant ship
the island was burning
dakkar was fading
margaret knew she had to make a choice
narrator, chorus
printing house square
township number nine
the ellen austin prepared her for this
clarity, and then she
shouted in her loudest voice
margaret
father, stop!
narrator, chorus
everything froze
n0body moved
narrator
just the sound of the tide
and the jungle softly burning
then, a column of fog
lifted from the ship and floated toward her
chorus
the fog parted
revealing a man with cold eyes
he wore the robes of a king
and a twisted smile
