The Lost Colony

(álbum: Children Of The Great Extinction - 2022)

The strongest and bravest that dwelt among us
The wisest most clever
Twelve were selected
Chosen for the journey
Conditioned to survive
To move between dimensions

Driven past the pain
Tested in the fire
Molded to the aim
Singular in purpose

Precision process
No room for error
In the face of endless
Existential terror

A fraction survived to complete the journey
The others lost forever

Driven past the pain
Tested in the fire
Molded to the aim
Singular in purpose

Precision process
No room for error
In the face of endless
Existential terror

Resilient we watched their civilization grow
For decades we saw them make the planet their own
Then without a warning we lost connection
Silence
Only silence
Complete and total blackout

Centuries of failed attempts
To reconnect with the colony
The governments of the world inept
Abort the effort entirely
Abort
