Final Frontier

We left in late midwinter 2091, A burning bed our fathers made, We tried repairing all the damage they had done, But we were just a little late We built an ark to keep us safe before the flood, Our vengeful planet we escape, Hands of our children not yet covered in this blood, Hope they don’t make the same mistakes For our home we destroyed, So we sail onto the void, For an undiscovered system far from here If the wind takes our sails, If we live to tell the tale, For the end of Mother Earth is drawing near We are conquering the final frontier Our greed and vanity have brought this final shame We fanned the flames inside our home Exiled humanity and all of us to blame We only hope we’re not alone But who can trust us once they learn why we’re adrift, If we can’t even trust ourselves? We are but insects, undeserving of their gifts We all deserve to burn in hell For our home we destroyed, So we sail onto the void, For an undiscovered system far from here If the wind takes our sails, If we live to tell the tale, For the end of Mother Earth is drawing near We are conquering the final frontier So we sail to an unknown planet, Heaven knows what we find once we’ve landed And pray we don’t get lost along the way To wherever the wind may take us Lady Luck, just don’t forsake us If we’re ready or not this is our judgement day For our home we destroyed, So we sail onto the void, For an undiscovered system far from here If the wind takes our sails, If we live to tell the tale, For the end of Mother Earth is drawing near We are conquering the final frontier
