lyrics

Ship commander’s audio journal, 7-12-2119:
We were too late, we were too far away. We received the distress signal, but we were too far away. By the time we reached our solar system, the earth was...gone. Destroyed. Nothing left...but an immense debris field, which were are attempting to scan…

We have rendezvoused with survivors and have been elected to lead the group to safety. This may very well be the last voyage of the human race. I don’t envy the job of our relatively inexperienced navigator, tasked with responsibility of plotting our course...

The threat of disaster is driving us faster
To search for a place we can call home

We killed the place that we called home

The hyperdrive’s blasting, the fuel isn’t lasting
We’re heading toward planets in reaches unknown

Our only hope is the unknown

I know one mistake
Is all that it will take
To send us drifting, without a home
To send us drifting, forever alone

Make your calculations, better make ‘em well
Drifting out in deep space can be a living hell
The ship is not responding to the helm’s command
The engineer is working on a cunning plan

One mistake is all that it will take

We gained too much momentum, we gained to much speed
We will pay the high price for our chronic greed
Forty-thousand light years and we’re drifting, still
We pray that death will take us, on our knees we kneel

One mistake is all that it will take

Drifting

This was bound to fail
We should never have set sail
Left before we knew
Now there’s nothing we can do

Drifting

Drifting alone
