NEW SONG: Look What I Did - "Wait, Don't Jump" from Zanzibar III: Analog Prison




After Sebastian's disappearance into Zanzibar's custody, an angry mob of Sebastian-supporting centaur horse-people from his community in Ban'hak Village has gathered in protest of Zanzibar at the town square. Zanzibar, having ordered Magistrate Lord Witherow to put Sebastian to death, descends upon the protesters, intending to give a deceptive speech to calm them.

Zanzibar plans to portray Sebastian's impending death by execution as a suicide. Zanzibar cautions the angry mob.

Zanzibar: "Wait up on your feet. Wait, dont jump the beat."

Zanzibar begins spinning a fabricated tale in which he tries to convince Sebastian not to commit suicide.

Zanzibar: "...And it was the perfect night to slip in the crowd and disappear until you pull this shit. I know you want to believe in something, and I care enough to speak up now and not let you look like an asshole."

The mob seems suspicious and begins grumbling. Zanzibar continues to urge caution.

Zanzibar: "Wait, don't move your feet. Wait, don't jump the beat."

Zanzibar fictionalizes a story in which Sebastian jumps to his death.

Zanzibar: "He was on the ledge. He was leaning forward. He fell. I know he wanted to believe in something, and I cared enough to speak up then to try and stop this from happening."

The crowd doesn't buy Zanzibar's lies and begins moving towards him.

Zanzibar: "Wait. Don't move your feet. Wait, you're coming t'wards me."

A protester angrily responds.

Protester: "We don't buy it anymore. We think you're lying to us again. You're always lying to us, man. Silence! We won't take this! You murdered our hero! We vote no confidence! Take five paces! You'll need them!"

The protester turns to the angry mob.

Protester: "Attention! This is the last straw! A war you must want! A war you will get. Charge him! This is our will. There will be no trial. He must not live. We will kill Zanzibar!"

The crowd joins in chorus to show support for the conflict with Zanzibar.

The centaurs: "Our souls swell, we'll fill everywhere. Our souls swell, joy and anger everywhere."

Look What I Did - David Koresh Has a Message (For You) - Zanzibar III: Analog Prison

Look What I Did - David Koresh Has a Message (For You) - Zanzibar III: Analog Prison



Commander David Koresh and 75 of his best troops huddle on-board a shuttle, hurtling forth from the Moon to Earth. General Brigham Young ordered them out on an expedition to acquire water from Earth for the Moon outpost New Manasseh. The crew is stuffed uncomfortably in rows of benches. 

David Koresh, awash with excitement for what he believes will be his breakout mission, explodes into song, detailing his seven seals prophecy. His troops sing along mockingly.

David Koresh: "I've got a message that I'm bringing down. I'm gonna' tell em all about the seven seals. I've got a message that I'm sent to give, and Lake Panic's gonna' hear about it. I'm on a rocket and I'm coming down to tell the Earth that this happens all the time through history. I've got a message, and it's the seven seals."

Koresh sings along with his troops, despite the fact that they are mocking him.

The Troops, "He likes the seven seals. He likes to talk about it. He likes the seven seals. You're gonna' hear about it."

David Koresh: "We're on a mission to save our colony. When we return, everyone will hear about it. We'll be famous, and I can give a speech and tell everyone all about the seven seals. I'm called to do this -- it is my destiny. Someone will probably write some kind of song about it. I've got a message, and it's the seven seals."

The Troops, "He likes the seven seals. He likes to talk about it. He likes the seven seals. You're gonna' hear about it."
