Farewell to the Sun

The ship lies quiet and calm
While the troops disappear in its hull
They know they are the ones
Who must see that the mission is done

On the journey to a distant world
They will face all dangers
To guide the human cosmic freight
Sheltered through the time

Farewell to the burning earth
We won't die young
Mothers, fathers, everyone
Children of the sun
Farewell to a dying home
We won't die young
Striving for new shores ahead
All, all for one

Ancestors in old graves
They have all long been overgrown
And now the time has come
To accept our best time has gone

On our journey to a distant world
We will face the danger
We know we are the cosmic race
We travel through the space

Farewell to the burning earth
We won't die young
Mothers, fathers, everyone
Children of the sun
Farewell to a dying home
We won't die young
Striving for new shores ahead
All, all for one

It was all up to you
You've had your chances
But just unlimited greed
Has been in your glances
You killed red roses
The black ones too
Although you owned the code
Your defeat came true

On our journey to a distant world
We will face the danger
We know we are the cosmic race
We travel through the space

Farewell to the burning earth
We won't die young
Mothers, fathers, everyone
Children of the sun
Farewell to a dying home
We won't die young
Striving for new shores ahead
All, all for one
