NEW DAWN HYMN OLD WOMAN Praise God once we're gone Perhaps there is hope for us At the end At the end of life At the end of time Praise to God once we are gone Perhaps there is hope for us Shut the Sacred Book Annihilation to our heads For we brought the story to an end

Decades pass and an aging Simeon staggers with a bottle of Metal Ink, an addictive age-reversing genetic serum. The drunken Simeon reminisces about a different time of his life when he had family, knew love. He hears a cry in the Old Lady Liberty shop and discovers a child that looks vaguely familiar, but the Military Police try to destroy him.

METAL INK SIMEON (Scat) Oh Metal Ink! Metal Ink That's the stuff we're drinking Half oil Half charity Half who knows what? But that's the stuff we're drinking To stay alive No survive Delicious tweaking metalness Trickling down my rusted pipes Organic decaying to so much less Oh Metal Ink That's the stuff we're drinking Half oil Half charity That's the stuff we're drinking (Scat) Oh Metal Ink! But have you seen my sweet Lucinda? Black hair or was it brown? Hell if I can remember it now! Just so high

High as the sky Burned red as blood Will I touch your silken face again, Innocent One? I found your doll Under that wall On the horrific Tuesday morning That horrific morning What a Tuesday mourning! What a Tuesday mourning! Want some ink? What do you think? I'm just having a drink A swig A taste of life again! Down the throat and into the zone (Scat) Metal Ink LADY LIBERTY SHOP SIMEON (Humming) Can I touch your silken face again? A love you have forgotten Your tiny hand reaches mine We go back in time And find hope again You tiny hand reaches mine We go back in time And find hope again

The young girls at the GenTech Factory are part of an experiment to save the human race from extinction. Though sanctioned by the government, the actions of the geneticists, called the Collective, are dangerous and evil.

The Nurse helps young Libertaria escape from the GenTech Factory. The Collective imprisons her for future experimentation. Libertaria wonders about the Nurses fate and the fate of family that she never knew.

Underneath the city of Nueva York is a bustling Underground society preparing to overtake the Collective and blow up the GenTech Factory.

In the Underground Lucinde and Libertaria struggle over their parentage and their futures.

LOST CONFESSION INTRODUCTION LIBERTARIA I never knew my father And the one woman who loved me forced me to go away SIMEON The Underground is a family We are your sisters and brothers LIBERTARIA I must find her! SIMEON The Underground is a family I am father and your mother I AM THE NURSE Libertaria, I will never leave you! LIBERTARIA I must find her!

LOST CONFESSION LUCINDE In a single moment in time I hate him I love him Can I trust him? LIBERTARIA I never knew my father I never knew my mother LUCINDE Love him for all he's done Hate for him all he's not Can I trust him with my life And...hers? Why does he anger me so? Hidden beneath my sunken eyes Under the scars and lies ???? a truth within the depths of my I must hope because I love him LIBERTARIA Like a caged animal I scream inside my mind Like a harpy caught in amber half-alive Because I love her Behind my sunken eyes lies in my soul I scream inside my mind Like a harpy caught in amber half-alive But I love her! LUCINDE I scream inside my mind But I love him! THE NURSE Libertaria! Libertaria! I will never leave you!

SIMEON I am your father and mother! I AM! I AM!

LIBERTARIA With my wrists decorated with slits I can't be whole without her LUCINDE And the shrieking in my head said I should be dead! LIBERTARIA AND LUCINDE Would I be half a woman Torn apart by the pain in my mind? LIBERTARIA I must find her! LUCINDE You will find her! LIBERTARIA I must find her! LUCINDE At the Factory! You will find her in the Factory!

The Medallion Girls may be the only way to save the human race from extinction! Yet, at what cost?

MEDALLION GIRLS MEDALLION GIRL1 The girls of the 21st century Adorned in their refinery Never knew how good they had it! Shiny little trinkets Forget chains Instead we have jeweled glamorous fetters MEDALLION GIRL2 The ancient feed the living Decaying cells feed our souls MEDALLION GIRL1 Regeneration by older generations MEDALLION GIRL 2 Regeneration! MEDALLION GIRL1 For the masses quite outdated MEDALLION GIRL 2 No one ever saw the need to teach the sheep to read

MEDALLION GIRLS Save the human race Before we are erased Displaced By our nuclear embrace We are the saviors of the human race! MEDALLION GIRLS Youth and death One and the same Cellular beginnings Hasten Hasten us to eventual demise Youth and death In the crystalline casings of spent butterflies We are the saviors of the human race!

Simeon confesses his hatred for his daughter Lucinde, little knowing that she listens with a broken heart.

ABSOLUTION SIMEON Once when I lived as a different man I had a most perfect daughter Precious! A gift from God Just like her mother But the fire struck her down Perfect no more! Scars molten across her body And an anger not there before! I could not accept the broken marionette Broken beyond repair! Once Once Once perfect.

Embittered, Lucinde betrays the Underground and the Factory Army comes to destroy the Underground Cyborg Militia.

INVASION MILITARY POLICE Woe! Woe! To the Great Underground! Hear those who can hear! The Great Underground will fail today! LUCINDE, LIBERTARIA, SIMEON I am your father and your mother Hope not hate Have faith! The Underground is my home! Hope not hate! LIBERTARIA Now I see LUCINDE The end is near All the hope that I knew has disappeared LIBERTARIA Praise to God when we're gone LUCINDE And the Underground will fall

SIMEON Power beyond our will Faith not fear LIBERTARIA Praise to God when we fall LUCINDE Is there hope for us LUCINDE AND LIBERTARIA Crying out in the darkness? SIMEON Hope not hate! LUCINDE Hate! MILITARY POLICE Power beyond our will! Power beyond our will LIBERTARIA Hope not hate LUCINDE You were my father now fall! SIMEON Hope not hate!

The Nurse sings a final song to Libertaria, revealing a dark secret.

ATONEMENT LIBERTARIA I have found you! THE NURSE Never alone LIBERTARIA I have found you THE NURSE No regrets for what I've done! Your mother was young, frail Not like you Pain stole her mind But I stole her child To replace the child I once I knew! The pills took hold I ran, made you my own I tore you from her arms! Clouded eyes clear for just a moment! Sweet Lucinde! Sweet Lucinde! LIBERTARIA Forgive me, Mother, For the demon I loved instead of you All my life I longed for her when I should have loved you!

It was you who made the true sacrifice! Forgive me

War is the only solution in this dystopian wasteland!

ABOUT THE COMPOSER

An award-winning composer, obsessive sci-fi buff, gamer, Latin diva, and super Star Wars fan, Sabrina Pena Young creates mind-bending futuristic multimedia works performed throughout Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Australia at venues like the Beijing Conservatory, the New York International Independent Film Festival, Art Basil Miami, Art Miami, Miramax's Project Greenlight, the Australasian Computer Music Conference, Turkey's Cinema for Peace, El Instituto de Habana de la Musica, and countless other venues. In 2010 Young embarked on a new journey as she developed the idea of a virtual electronic musical. Starting as a short story about a young geneticist that found that she was experimenting on her own mother, the idea for Libertaria exploded into an epic tale about a young hero combating evil geneticists in a post-nuclear war world where the USA has splintered into several factions, the young and the old are preyed upon by the government, and the only hope for freedom depends on a secret Underground militia made up of cyborgs, children, and misfits led by a runaway teen rebel!
