V

### **Song: "Beneath the Skin of V"** **[Intro]** *(A tense, ominous beat begins with deep, resonant bass and eerie synths. The stage is dimly lit, with flashes of red light representing the Visitors' ships hovering in the sky. As the music intensifies, shadowy figures of the Visitors appear, their human-like appearances slowly revealing the reptilian forms beneath. The atmosphere is thick with suspense and fear, as the characters grapple with the reality of the invasion.)* **[Verse 1: Mike Donovan (determined)]** *They came with smiles, they came with grace,* *Promising peace, in this broken place.* *But I’ve seen the truth, beneath their lies,* *Behind those eyes, a serpent hides.* **[Chorus: Ensemble (urgent, with harmonies)]** *Beneath the skin of V, where the danger lies,* *They wear our faces, but they’re in disguise.* *Beneath the skin of V, they’re not what they seem,* *In the shadow of their ships, we fight for our dream.* **[Verse 2: Julie Parrish (resolute)]** *We trusted their words, we believed their tale,* *But now we know, their plans will fail.* *We’ll rise up strong, we’ll break their hold,* *In this fight for Earth, we must be bold.* **[Pre-Chorus: Mike & Julie (in unison, with defiance)]** *We won’t give in, we won’t back down,* *In this war for freedom, we’ll stand our ground.* *For every heart they’ve tried to steal,* *We’ll show them the strength of human will.* **[Chorus: Ensemble (powerful, with resolve)]** *Beneath the skin of V, where the danger lies,* *They wear our faces, but they’re in disguise.* *Beneath the skin of V, they’re not what they seem,* *In the shadow of their ships, we fight for our dream.* **[Bridge: Ensemble (whispering, overlapping)]** *They watch, they wait, behind the veil,* *In the dark of night, they plan to prevail.* *But we see the truth, we feel the fear,* *In the fight for Earth, we hold it dear.* *(The music swells with intensity, as the resistance prepares to confront the Visitors. The lights flash between red and white, symbolizing the clash between the alien invaders and the human resistance. The tension grows as the final battle looms.)* **[Verse 3: Mike Donovan (defiant)]** *We’ll tear down the masks, we’ll expose the lies,* *In this fight for freedom, we’ll see them demise.* *For every life they’ve tried to take,* *We’ll give them a battle, we’ll make them break.* **[Chorus: Ensemble & Mike/Julie (in unison, with determination)]** *Beneath the skin of V, where the danger lies,* *They wear our faces, but they’re in disguise.* *Beneath the skin of V, they’re not what they seem,* *In the shadow of their ships, we fight for our dream.* **[Outro: Mike & Julie (softly, with hope)]** *So we stand together, with fire in our hearts,* *In this war for Earth, we’ll play our parts.* *Beneath the skin of V, the truth will rise,* *In the light of a new day, beneath the skies.* *(The music gradua **[Chorus: Ensemble (powerful, with resolve)]** *Beneath the skin of V, where the danger lies,* *They wear our faces, but they’re in disguise.* *Beneath the skin of V, they’re not what they seem,* *In the shadow of their ships, we fight for our dream.*
