(The Return of the Harmonauts from Space)
Isolier's ship and other spaceships touchdown on the planet's surface and to the waiting crowd.
Thalia:
The ships arrived - they landed in the desert
the Harmonauts had come to sing their measures
the word was passed
from ear to ear
the music had arrived
Chorus of Etherian People:
The Harmonauts have returned
returned from far beyond
with stories of distant worlds
in never ending songs
the mystics can now celebrate
the priests can mend their robes
prepare for the Festival
to fill the people with hope
Thalia:
Each traveler was greeted with elation
each was told about a coming celebration
The Festival of the Harmonauts
would be written in the chronicles
Chorus:
the skeptics must now hide their faces
hang their heads with shame
they tried to kill the myths of song
to cause the common people pain
for a thousand years, we’ve waited here
now they have returned
to share with us their songs
and all that they have learned
They have returned
They have returned
Thalia:
They knew in their hearts of the returning
the fire of mythology had been burning
the lost had been found
the ethereal sound
would cause the doubters to turn
Chorus:
let the festival begin
let the sound invade our minds
lead us all on a journey within
leave the mundane world behind
The Harmonauts have returned
returned from far beyond
with stories of distant worlds
in never ending songs
