Self-preservation lives in the mind Our greatest instinct is to survive But our will to outlive our own lives Means we run And we run against the wheel of time Where to pass the smoldered flame When every path is gone Carve a new way to the Sun Mass exodus Flee to the stars above When the skyline falls (When the skyline falls) And the daylight calling is the light we seek Raise us above As our hope is fading (As our hope is fading) And the backdrop of the future stars await Carry us on Our roots are buried deep in the soil Refuse to let them wither away But the choice Is not ours to remain Now we fly And we fly into the darkest night Where to pass the smoldered flame When every path is gone Carve a new way to the Sun Mass exodus Flee to the stars above When the skyline falls (When the skyline falls) And the daylight calling is the light we seek Raise us above As our hope is fading (As our hope is fading) And the backdrop of the future stars await Carry us on
