- Narrator: There was once a group of men who believed they could solve the mystery of mysteries. They were scientists. Experts in chemistry, biology and physics. Students of alchemy. And of the arcane principles which governed the very equilibrium of our Universe. These men established a small research center on a remote tropical island. Where they proceeded with their humanitarian mission. A task linked to the fundamental principles of our very existence. Their aim was to conquer man kind's first, oldest and greatest enemy... Death itself.
- The Balladeer: [singing main theme song] Living the night, living for flying so high. Fillin' our bogs for the fine in time. Touchin' our bane will feel your rain on the gain. Dust in your veins, mummify insane. Rising for North, rising for bison high. It's a nightlife, whoa! Runnin' hard if you want it or not! It's a wild life, whoa! You can't stop. You must go on! Oh! Living After Death! Living after death! I'm living after death LIVING AFTER DEATTTTTTTTH! Rising for North, rising for bison high.

I'm living after death! Living after death! I'm living after death! Living... Living... LIVING AFTER DEATTTTTTTTH!
