[Spoken Vocal]
Where ya going?
(That’s the question.)
Not knowing…
(Is in the suggestion.)
[Verse 1]
Standing at the threshold
Looking through the door
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow isn’t sure
You can make a map
But you can’t map the unknown
You can build a fortress
But you can’t live alone
Something’s always waiting
Just beyond the line
A possibility
A chance to redefine
[Refrain]
What’s next?
(Zex)
Oh the appeal
(Zex appeal)
The unknown ideal
[Chorus]
Zex!
(Zex!)
What’s around the corner?
Zex!
(Zex!)
Could tomorrow change the order?
Unknown!
(Unknown!)
That’s still the thrill
(That’s the deal)
The unknown ideal!
[Verse 2]
We don’t need to know
How the story ends
Sometimes uncertainty
Is where discovery begins
A seed beneath the soil
Doesn’t know the tree
A child doesn’t know
The person they will be
A mountain doesn’t know
The shape of falling reign
The giver doesn’t know
The pathway through your brain
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Angular Progressive-Rock Lead With Synth Pulses, Hammond Organ, Bass and Driving Drums]
[Bridge]
Don’t fear the unknown.
[Pause]
(It’s were grows grown.)
[Pause]
(Wit)
Discover it.
[Rap Vocal Break]
What’s next?
(Zex!)
What’s new?
(Zex!)
What don’t you know
That could change your view?
Turn the page
(Become a sage!)
Open the door
(Explore more!)
There might be something
You’ve never seen before
Unknown!
(To be grown!)
Ideal!
(For real!)
… that’s
The whole appeal
Not knowing
(Where we’re going!)
What’s coming
(Come on along!)
Makes tomorrow
Worth becoming!
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Deep Bass, Sparse Guitar Harmonics and Synth Pulse]
What’s next?
[Whispered]
Zex.
Oh, the appeal…
[Soft Response]
Zex appeal.
The unknown…
[Pause]
Ideal.
[Final Refrain]
What’s next?
(Zex)
Oh the appeal
(Zex appeal)
The unknown ideal
[Final Chorus]
Zex!
(Zex!)
What’s next?
What’s next?
Zex!
(Zex!)
Feel the appeal
Step into
(Step into!)
The unknown ideal!
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Repeating Guitar Motif, Pulsing Synth and Hammond Organ; Drums Gradually Fade While the Bass Holds a Suspended Note]
What’s next?
(Zex!)
[Spoken, fading]
That’s the appeal.
The unknown…
(Ideal.)
