Vanguards, we conquer the sky and land-
In search of the tomb made of glass and sand
Once found, we shall carve a path
Retracing the steps of decades past
Daybreak, only moments away
The Centauri stars arise into grey
These towering clouds flicker and wane
Rays of light connect with the rain
As we fight the new found gravity
The storm is building
Gaining intensity
Stars erased from the shattered sky
Shrouding the new world we glorify
A journey inward may end in defeat
For life as we know it was made by machines
As time moves forward into morning light
Take heart as we advance with broken sight
To break the chains of orbit
We will sacrifice our blood and forfeit
Countless days and endless toil
For rain, air and fertile soil
As we fight the new found gravity
The storm is building
Gaining intensity
Stars erased from the shattered sky
Shrouding the new world we glorify
A journey inward may end in defeat
For life as we know it was made by machines
As time moves forward into morning light
Take heart as we advance with broken sight
