lyrics

Floating through the starless
Cosmos in search for a new haven
Passing through the boundless
Galaxy praying for
Another planet to inhabit

Further into unknown
Space of abandoned, unsettled sectors
Observing unnamed systems
Past the range of all archaic maps

Delving into the last
Regions forgotten, never discovered
Fueled by the promise of a
Water covered exoplanet

A fading
Distress signal from
Outer rim planets warning of a war
Requesting help

Descendants
Of old exiled clans
Post-humans evolved in the aftermath
Of a past exodus

Opposing an invasion
Prepare all emergency protocol
Centuries in hypersleep
Awaken the essential combat crew

Signs of a battle glowing in the shadows
Thermal readings showing an onslaught
Robotic ships lighting the horizon
Ensuing chaos throughout the system

Warring machines clash far off in the distance
Sentient droids leading the conflict
Thousands of mechs nearing our position
Ready the proton missiles and launchers

Facing the ominous force
Advanced synthetic beings
Storming the mechanized legion
At the cost of losing countless lives suddenly

Bombing the intruding craft
Amidst an extinction
Protect the primary ship of
Colonists from the amplifying catastrophe

Devastating
Systematic
Annihilation plaguing the universe

A relentless
Calamitous
Extermination of organic life

Floating through the starless
Cosmos in search for a new haven
Passing through the boundless
Galaxy praying for
Another planet to inhabit

Further into unknown
Space of abandoned, unsettled sectors
Observing unnamed systems
Past the range of all archaic maps

Delving into the last
Regions forgotten, never discovered
Fueled by the promise of a
Water covered exoplanet

Droids have brought an
End to this odyssey
Wandering into a
Tragic struggle

Beyond recall
Overwhelming losses
Fall back to another
Adjacent star

A single guardian left in one piece
Outer world spacecraft diminishing
A lasting sentinel left fighting
Surrounding the surviving forces

Bombing the intruding craft
Amidst an extinction
Protect the primary ship of
Colonists from the amplifying catastrophe

Doom follows intently
Stakes have increased drastically
Turn on the hyperdrive
Make a break or perish

Find an opening to our salvation
Rescue the remaining colony ship
Leave a field of mines and set the course to
The destined planet safe from incursion
