(Narrator takes us around New Albion a generation later.)

[Narrator]
And so a generation’s passed, Annabelle married at last
And she had a son she named Edgar, but alas
She died when he was ten, his heart was broken, but since then
He’s grown and found his darling Fay with whom he wants to wed

The red haired dwarf, he had a son
When the son turned thirty one
He stabbed his father so new mob boss he’d become
As his father slowly died, he told his son with tear stained eyes
He was the proudest that he’d been in his entire life

A cat burglar’s around who is the toast of the whole town
His is the most daring heists ever to abound
In reality, in fact, it’s two eighteen year old girls and
Their pet albatross Simon, and a brilliant mouse named Sam

In the Botanist’s Lodge, they’ve bred a plant who can think thoughts
It communicates by opening its petals on and off
But alas, one day, it went into a deep meditative trance
Searching for enlightenment and has not made a move since then
