In the nightfire of mankind's dawn A despised people revealed its fate Honour and wisdom by their side The sword of knowledge at their hands Enslaved by the empire With the stain of renegades They broke the old restrictions Longing for their journey's end Remnants of the once esteemed But their flame almost deceased Betrayed and now suffering this poisoned land They dream of the foreseen freedom of man Death regorged Power forged Imprisoned by environmental cold Their eyes open to a whole new world Life adored Senses explored Escape this place, vacuum ploughing Beyond light's speed, contacts cutting Across the universe their search will lead Through the scars of space they sow the seed Where naked gardens wait and nothing there to spoil They make their new home ...in the dust of dry soil Unlocking the gates of time, widening its bounds Guarded by the maker ...facing desert ground True rulers of travel For new tribes to settle Now they walk the sands by night In the safety of the stars To fulfil their destiny And turn the page of history
