10,000 Light Years from Home

The day is here, it’s crystal clear
That we’re the chosen ones
Gather at dawn to bid farewell
To the revolution’s sons

Rumbling and roaring and burning
The countdown has begun
There’s no returning
Ignition, liftoff, systems go
Next stop Eden on with the show tonight

Dark signs
Rewind
Crashing through the skies
Ten thousand light-years from home

We struggle to find
The life we left behind
Ten thousand light-years from home

7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Alpha Engaged

We’ve earned the right to take this flight
To the Promised Land
Our kingdom come, his will be done
Death to the common man

Twisting and turning and falling
Transmission has ended
There’s no way of calling
May Day, May Day, S.O.S
Tell your gods we learned our lesson

Dark signs
Rewind
Crashing through the skies
Ten thousand light-years from home

Shot down
In flames
No sign of life remains
Ten thousand light-years from home

This is no Utopia
We have been deceived

Humanity not vanity
Our karma’s been received

May Day, May Day, S.O.S
Tell your gods we learned our lesson well

Dark signs
Rewind
Crashing through the skies
Ten thousand light-years from home

Shot down
In flames
No sign of life remains
Ten thousand light-years from home

We struggle to find
The life we left behind
Ten thousand light-years from home
