"We have reached our first destination: the black

hole in the Virgo cluster of galaxies.

But what will we find inside? Its power is

immeasurable. Our hopes and fears intermingle

as we stand at the event horizon. Will its

doorway transport us to our faraway planet Earth, or

will its fury mercilessly tear us

apart?"

[Bruce Dickinson, Lana Lane]

[A. THE EYE OF THE UNIVERSE]

A dark sphere surrounds us

Surreal...oblivious...

In the centre of the galaxy

A hidden force has found us

Powerful...mysterious...

At the boundary of eternity

Nothing escapes, not even light

Beyond the mystical horizon

We surrender to its might

Gazing into the eye of the universe

A deep roar is sounding

Deafening...thunderous...

As if the universe were crying

My heart is pounding

Frantic...delirious...

My every nerve is dying

[B. HALO OF DARKNESS]

I hear screams of fallen souls, sad cries of agony

Within the void of this evil hole, deep inside the

black

Could it be my imagination, the mirror of my fantasy?

A fear-induced hallucination

Or is there no way back from the halo of darkness?

Spirits - apparitions - misery - suffering

Horrid dreams and dire visions rising up from the

black

Look away in disbelief, this cannot be happening

The end has come, I bow in grief

There is no way back from the halo of darkness

[C. THE FINAL DOOR]

Now silence devours us

Massive...suffocating...

The calm before the storm

Gravity overpowers us

Invincible...dominating...

And leads us through the final door

Feed me light, I'm the halo of darkness

Feel my might, I'm the eye of the universe
