Intro Sequence

Five hundred years into the future
she will enter a world where machines rule the Earth.
Mankind has been driven underground.
And Celopatra is about to discover
there's no place like home.

Song:

In the year 2525
There are women with a will to survive
Fighting for a brand new day
Nothing is gonna get in their way
And in the year 2525
Three women keep hope alive
Joining forces to reclaim the Earth
Looking ahead to humankind's rebirth
