Ten Thousand 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
