Final Frontier

(album: Starship Velociraptor - 2021)

We left in late midwinter 2091
A burning bed our fathers made
We tried repairing all the damage they had done
But we were just a little late

We built an ark to keep us safe before the flood
Our vengeful planet we escape
Hands of our children not yet covered in this blood
Hope they don't make the same mistakes

For our home we destroyed
So we sail onto the void
For an undiscovered system far from here

If the wind takes our sails
If we live to tell the tale
For the end of Mother Earth is drawing near
We are conquering the final frontier

Our greed and vanity have brought this final shame
We fanned the flames inside our home
Exiled humanity and all of us to blame
We only hope we're not alone

But who can trust us once they learn why we're adrift
If we can't even trust ourselves?
We are but insects, undeserving of their gifts
We all deserve to burn in hell

For our home we destroyed
So we sail onto the void
For an undiscovered system far from here

If the wind takes our sails
If we live to tell the tale
For the end of Mother Earth is drawing near
We are conquering the final frontier

So we sail to an unknown planet
Heaven knows what we find once we've landed
And pray we don't get lost along the way

To wherever the wind may take us
Lady Luck, just don't forsake us
If we're ready or not this is our judgement day

For our home we destroyed
So we sail onto the void
For an undiscovered system far from here
If the wind takes our sails
If we live to tell the tale
For the end of Mother Earth is drawing near
We are conquering the final frontier

For our home we destroyed
So we sail onto the void
For an undiscovered system far from here
If the wind takes our sails
If we live to tell the tale
For the end of Mother Earth is drawing near
We are conquering the final frontier
