1. ACTUS UNIUS
Lyrics and Vocals by Mark McGuiness
The Zombie Wars of Neptoon, were in their final day, in their final hour, in their final moment.
A lone soldier dragged his way across the landscape, when in the distance he saw a strange ship,
sitting by what appeared to be ruins of an ancient temple.
2. MONA-LISA STELLARUM
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness and Joe Scarpellino
and as the sun came up they’d waited for to long. He tried to find survivors, but they all were gone.
and in the distance, but a single shipped remained. Mona-Lisa Stellarum, goodness what a name.
and someone was standing by the door. The soldier grabbed his hand and came aboard.
(McDarkness) “Let me introduce myself, i’m Doctor McDarkness, and you are?”
(Lightning) “The name’s Captain Lightning, of the Pantharian Brigade.”
(McDarkness) “Pantharian eh? That explains the whiskers. Well, this is my ship, the Mona-Lisa Stellarum!
It’s an archaeological vessel, I’ve been searching these ruins for an ancient and powerful weapon.
Now that i’ve found it, I plan on taking it far from this god forsaken planet!”
(Lightning) “Wait. What? What do you mean?!?!?”
The engines gave out a mighty roar. The captain was shaken to his core.
(Lightning) “What kind of ship is this?!?!”
(McDarkness) “Sit back and relax Captain, We’re being powered by rare and unique Percussion Engines,
Operated by our very own robotic engineer, the Sonic Harmonic Ultra Android!
This ship is spruced up, juiced up, and turns on a dime.
It can take us not just through space, but all through time.
I promise all these gadgets are not just for show.
Mona-Lisa Stellarum, Now! All systems go!
Now time doesn’t matter anymore. Time is just a place we can explore.

5. CANINE VERSUS FELINE
Lyrics and Vocals by Mark McGuiness and Joe Scarpellino
Fighting and Writing
Inciting, Igniting
Darkness fighting Lightning
Sky Sky Staring at the sky
There’s a great big hole
Where your eye used to be
And it didn’t even seem so long ago
But you didn’t have to cry
Didn’t have to lie
Didya? Didya?
Didn’t wait so long
Thunder and Lightning
Exciting, Inviting.
Engine blast igniting
Violent endless fighting
(McDarkness) “Hello little pussy cat, let me give you a little scratch right there on your head”
(Lightning) “Doctor you’re not yourself today. you’ve got to get away.”
(McDarkness) “Let me introduce myself. I’m a dog with a great big bite.”
(Lightning) “You better just run along now unless you are looking for a fight”
Scratching and Biting
Gnawing, Clawing, Slicing
Fur is flying, frightening
Inciting, igniting
Darkness fighting Lightning
(Lightning) “Well you’ve been a bad dog
(McDarkness “And you’ve been a fat cat”
(Lightning) “ Do you wanna piece of this/“
(McDarkness) “Sure i’d love a piece of that!”
(Lightning) “Try to remember that we’re lost out here, we must be on our way”
(McDarkness) “No ones ever gonna win”
(Lightning) “And its never gonna stop”
(McDarkness) “Well i’ll drag you to the bottom”
(Lightning) “And I’ll climb up to the top”
(McDarkness) “Now scram!”
6. UNEXPECTED NEWS
Words and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness featuring Matthew McGuiness
Some unexpected news was hiding behind the door and I said
I don’t wanna live that way again
I don’t wanna leave you stranded
With unexpected news
With undetected clues
This ungifted fuse
I don’t wanna leave you stranded
And now I find myself arriving at a later time and I
I don’t wanna see your crying face
I don’t wanna be disbanded
By unexpected news
By un-inspected clues
An uninvited muse
I don’t wanna be disbanded
Oh please stay for a minute
Cause I really need to see
Your true colors
Oh please wake for a minute
Cause I don’t know how to tell my brother
And now it seems to me
These Unexpected things seem indiscreet
And I don’t wanna live that way again
I don’t wanna be commanded
By unexpected news
By unconnected clues
These unaffected blues
I don’t wanna be commanded
Oh please stay for a minute
Cause I really need to see
Your true colors
Oh please wake for a minute
Cause I don’t know how to tell my brother
Oh please stay for a minute
Cause I really need to know now
How your changing colors
they are slipping away
And I don’t know how to tell my brother
7. GALAXY
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Joe Scarpellino
I've been waking up early, and staying up late
Just listening to the music, and accepting my fate
I've been taking it slowly I want to make it last
But things have a way of going way way too fast
In a galaxy of mystery nothing but stars ahead of me
I'll find a place where we'll be free
I'm sailing on, I'm sailing on
Laying with my eyes open in a darkness complete
Not one word is spoken, but my heart still beats
I'm finding strength in the sadness and wisdom through pain
Do you choose love or madness? 'Cause this will happen again and again
The road only goes as far as you will take it
The lord only knows how far we could go
So I'm setting sail again I put my back against the wind
I'm sailing on, I'm sailing on
8. SUN BEATS
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
Whoa Whoa Whoa Uh oh
The Sun Beats Down on her face
As she's reading a book
‘Bout the end of the human race
And as she sits for awhile
Well she blows her a kiss
And she throws her a smile
And she's got nowhere to go
Ahe's bound to rock and roll
Into the future
She's got nowhere to go
She's bound to steal the show
The sun beats down on the trees
As they're being cut down
For a book that nobody reads
And as they suffer for miles
They're relinquishing scripts
And extinguishing smiles
And they've got no room to grow
They're bound to lose control
Into the future
At the end of time itself
When the stars burn out
She's got a pretty lip
She's got a pretty face
But when she's sick of it
She's sick of the human race
She's dead and fallin' down
But never wears a frown
And she doesn't hear a word you say
And she's got no
Nowhere to go
It's gonna take some time
But she's bound to steal the show
Now she's sick to death
And she just wants to see you smile
Whoa oh oh oh
9. ACTUS DUO
Lyrics and Vocals by Mark McGuiness and Joe Scarpellino
After taking off again, the ship had sent our heroes even further into the future.
To the end of time it seemed, where nothing remained but clusters of stars going supernova.
(Lightning) We’re all going to die! There must be some way to get out of this.
What about that weapon of yours? What do you call it?
(McDarkness) “I Call it the Darkness Lantern.
I believe it holds inside of it the power of a quantum singularity, a black hole.”
(Lightning) “It may be our only hope. Show us how to turn it on!
Let’s attach it to the bow of the ship,this may be our only chance!”
10. DARKNESS
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
What we need is Darkness now
Come on Doctor show us how
What we need is Darkness now
Come on Doctor show us how
we all start screaming
Time is gone
and Space it seems
we’re wandering
we’re lingering
now it’s all gone
but we’re still here
no time to laugh
no time to fear
Running out of Time
Running out of Space
Running out of Love
Running out of Grace
Running
Who started it?
11. LIMBO
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
Is there a little hole to heaven in your head?
Because all i want to do
is crawl through next to you
to be with you beneath these dying stars
Is there a little voice of reason in your bed?
Because all i want to do
is crawl in next to you
to lay with you
beneath these dying stars
Is there a little hole to heaven in your head?
and does it suck you through to heaven when your dead?
12. SIREN’S CALL
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Joe Scarpellino and mark McGuiness
Circuits open
Can you hear us?
We could use a helping hand
Circuits open
Time is over
We could use a helping hand
We're just a set of suicidal sailors stuck inside this place we call limbo
We lit the darkness lantern now the navigation is out of control
I think I'm gonna lose my mind, I think I'm gonna lose my mind oh oh oh
Just a set of suicidal sailors stuck inside this place we call limbo
She said, throw your hand to the wind
And slowly row it back again
And we did
If life is just but a dream
Then slowly row it back again
And we did
It has been a while since the Mona-Lisa smiled oh I know
I hear the siren's call they are grabbing us and dragging us below
We are running out of time, we are running out of time. Don't you know?
We're just a set of suicidal sailors stuck inside this place we call limbo
We may never find a way back home
At least we don't have to face the end alone
13. SHOULD’VE CALLED
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
Out of the bar
And into the bedroom
With a Sad look on your face
and a smell that I can’t place
Where have you been?
Where have you gone to?
Did you go there by yourself?
Did you go with someone else?
You are
You are really something
thanks for nothing
I went down to the corner store
And I bought some rotten eggs
Then i made my way down to the bar
Where I tapped out all the kegs
Now everything has changed
and everything feels strange
I should’ve called you
And I feel so deranged
and everything has changed
i should’ve called you
Ready or not girl
Oh we have no time to waste
there’s adventure I can taste
Hitting’ the road
Getting’ down in the bedroom
In another time and place
Maybe way out there in space
You are
So beautiful
And darling you and I
We’ve come so far
We could’ve walked down the boulevard
Could’ve found some rules to break
Could’ve made our way across the stars
Could’ve found some love to make
Right back before it started
We cast a line to our dear departed
Oh no I gotta go there’s something more I need to know
And now I know, but really though, I gotta go
Right back before I met you
Who would’ve thought that I’d actually get you
I Should’ve called you
I Could’ve called you
14. SO CLOSE
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Joe Scarpellino
I want you to feel me
I want to wrap myself up in you
We are so close when we are so close
I have it all under control
I feel it. Nothing I can do
I am more than a sacrifice
Paying more than the price
Wanting more than a kiss goodnight
Needing more love without a fight
I will be waiting here for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
15. ACTUS TRIBUS
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
The Darkness Lantern had swallowed up all existence
And the ship had traveled through the emptiness
Devoid of time itself for what seemed like an eternity
Suddenly the crew noticed that there had been a stowaway on board all along
The Doctor recognized the creature from the ancient ruins from which the lantern was found
He appeared to be the stone sarcophagus that held the Lantern
He had taken it back
And slowly slunk into the shadows
In the depths of the ship
16. BREAKING DOWN
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
We’ve got to get away from here
The ship is breaking down
The Captain exclaimed to the crew
That the lanterns been stolen
By a stowaway golem
and the darkness keeps growing’
There seems to be a problem now
The androids brain is cracked
And something is hiding nearby
But its currently out cold
And its face it has not shown
And its motives are unknown
Where were you
When the sun came beating down?
Zombies rising from the earth
And werewolves all around?
We tried to keep our heads
But we only lost our minds
And now it seems we never will
We’re never gonna find our way back home
We’re awful good at breaking rules
But not at breaking down
We’ll never get going again
While the Doctor is so low
And the ships movin’ so slow
Now the powers out oh no
17. ICARUS
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Ned Barclay
Your cloud is not quite as high as you think
Everything you think you know can change in a blink of an eye
You’ve got to come back down to believe it
Hope someone can catch you if you don’t see it
Come Back Down
When your pedestal starts to fall and crumble
Will it even make a sound
Will you even hear the rumble in your ears
You’ve got to climb back down to perceive it
Hope someones listening when you don’t fear it
Come Back Down
18. TIME IS A MURDERER
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
For each and every one of us
There is a time
There is a place
It’s not a war
It’s not a race
It’s something real
And now it seems what’s best for me
Is to carry on
I always will
Without a doubt
I’ll go until I feel it
Taking over
And as the sun feels colder
It’s on your shoulder
It’s not a war
It’s not a race
It’s coming fast
It’s in your face
and now
Everyone’s dying to go
So breath in
And bleed out
It seems like only yesterday
We gave it all
To catch a thrill
With all our selves
And time to kill
But now I know
That Time it is a Murderer
And all our lives
Even the stars
Are really It’s
Not really ours
I feel it
Taking over
And as your fire does smolder
You’re getting’ older
It’s not a war
It’s not a race
It’s coming fast
It’s in your face
And Now
Everyone’s dying to go
So breathe
And bleed out
19. ANOTHER TRIP AROUND THE SUN
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Joe Scarpellino
Oh how time flies
So many years just passing by
Through and endless sky
The words that we say
And the love that we make
Will never die
Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
A star is born
But to a planet that's torn
From inside
I'm not surprised
I spent every day
Just wishing I could play
Outside
Life is just a chain reaction
A man of words and a man of action
Another trip around the sun
A man of heart and a man of wisdom
20. FINIS
Lyrics and Lead Vocals by Mark McGuiness
With the ship and the crew in their last moments of life
They finally saw something appear out of the Darkness
It was Neptoon, but a young Neptoon.
Long before the Zombie Wars
The Mona-Lisa Stellarum crashed on ancient Neptoon
And over time the ships ruins turned to stone
To create a temple around it
