|
Ten million tons of steel hurled across the sky |
|
Our final sleeper ship, none left to say goodbye |
|
For all our wisdom couldn't save her from the night |
|
Now hear our children sing their requiem for the light |
|
I want to stop the wheels of time |
|
I need it, I want it |
|
The light that gives me life again |
|
Ten thousand years in space, we slept across the dark |
|
Towards a burning star, we sailed a gliding arc |
|
But soon we had to journey back into the night |
|
And hear our children sing their requiem for the light |
|
I want to stop the wheels of time |
|
I need it, I want it |
|
The light that gives me life again |
|
Can you feel her burning love? |
|
Mother of all life, blazing glory from above |
|
A requiem for the light |
|
Far too old and far too young |
|
Behold another fading sun |
|
Gaze with hope into the sky |
|
But know that all our stars will die |
|
The eternal night we must survive |
|
A requiem for the light |
|
I want to stop the wheels of time |
|
I need it, I want it |
|
The light that gives me life again |
