hard to imagine, hard to believe i've heard old stories of an earth at peace on my horizon humanity explodes some remain hopeful that i won't have to go, but... world war is knocking at our door and soon enough i won't be here anymore waiting for the call waiting for the fall waiting... and as the chosen one; a gift or curse, you decide i'll find a brand new home to culture and colonize i'm in an awkward space, it's like i won the lottery from my extinction. should you have to leave this place take with you our human race be the light we wish we were godspeed you traveler i know it's coming, our time is short they call me captain of the Last Resort they see a hero to carry out these plans but i’m just escaping a wasteland should you have to leave this place take with you our human race be the light we wish we were godspeed you traveler can't look them in the eye, can't look them in the eye knowing they're gonna die, knowing they’re all gonna die and i keep those feelings in from my family and friends ‘cause i want to enjoy them while i have them and life ticks day to day or until the sirens say

Sirens 02:46
Beyond the border they've all been enslaved eager to plant their flags on our grave can't stay immune to the wicked all of the evil they wield finally building momentum and breaking the barrier shield woke by a notion but i don't know what's wrong smell of the war in the air is too strong rumors and panic are spreading breach is the word going 'round i get the call and i realize all our defenses just came crashing down people to your battles stations me to my ship this is not a drill, this time “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” through the rearest window my planet falls away but not before i witness their wicked weaponry they don’t feel shame, they don’t feel proud, as they unleash their mushroom cloud the world is getting smaller the world is getting smaller the world is getting smaller my world is getting smaller

Remnant 02:39
How can you be homesick, when you're all that's left of your home? just remnants of some mankind like driftwood thru space and time don't know where this is going i don't know where i'm supposed to be now just remnants of some mankind like driftwood thru space and time am i trapped? did i escape? don't know to mourn or celebrate fucked by the fickle finger of fate just remnants of some mankind like driftwood thru space and time “stasis chamber ready, begin hibernation sequence.”

Will the answers come in sleep? so much unforeseen as i make this astral leap, just as haunted by my dreams and the vigilant faces of my home mission incomplete, maybe a good thing ‘cause i've seen what we do when go to extremes the rise and the fall now it's all up to me to deem us a second chance to start again should be grateful i'm not dead, the last one of my kind they never got inside my head, no implant in my spine repeater ready to begin as soon as i descend, but why should i bother when i've seen what we do when go to extremes the rise and the fall now it's all up to me to deem us a second chance to start again i hear the scientists i hear the passionates i hear the masses saying be the light that they wish they were it's ringing through my mind like an echo back in time they count on me to shine but this is too much to endure an alien without a home, my planet disavowed i've never truly been alone, the way that i am now i could win or lose the human race and i'm sinking like a stone, a million miles per second i've seen what we do when go to extremes the rise and the fall now it's all up to me to deem us a second chance to start again “approaching destination, open stasis chamber.” i got my mind on fire from all their fading faces it's like a rush of horror waking up from stasis gonna shake those feelings, get this mission back on track i'm more determined than ever ‘cause there's no going back no going back

Momentum 04:25
A few decades older and not a wrinkle of proof shows on my face now days from arrival i’ll do my best to make a home out of this place like a child, all is new now I embrace, what I must do Mother Earth, and Father Time have trusted me with all mankind we saw the ending was coming in war that no man could win so while the whole world was fighting we built the means to begin struck with wonder i’ve been hauling some mysterious machine teaming with energy these vitals are like none i’ve ever seen like a seed, going to sow feed it well, watch it grow it gives way, to branch and bone to all the sights and sounds of home we saw the ending was coming in war that no man could win so while the whole world was fighting we built the means to begin all the passionates long dead left a message and it read: “Congratulations, you’re alive, and so is the struggle to survive.” all my faith, all restored i’m not hopeless anymore time has carved a humble soul i’ll stay worthy of my goal we saw the ending was coming in war that no man could win so while the whole world was dying we built the means to begin

Terminus 05:10
I see the blue dot in the distance i can’t believe i’ve come this far if my peers were still alive they’d be so proud that i’ve arrived i feel them with me in the stars creation station at destination i weep for the view, all the green and blue like home but different, i’m closing distance and soon i’ll commence this landing sequence all this space and all this time in my wake what's done is done, i’m so relieved the Grand Escape, it ends today i see the surface and slow the engines i’m not alone nor am i saved there’s a mean lump in my throat as i’m making my approach i spot the flag of the enslaved i can’t believe it, they beat me to it i failed our gambit to take this planet what can i do now? nowhere to touchdown last chance for free man already ruined all this space and all this time in my wake what's done is done, i’m so relieved the Grand Escape, it ends today attention captain of the last resort we've waited years for your arrival surrender now, and you'll survive, come take your place among the hive or be exploded in the sky i can't get away, fighting is suicide panic is the only thing that's keeping me alive cause there's no mission now, there's no paradise i am failure incarnate of all their sacrifice i scan the landscape all tattered and raped i spot a fleet of ships and repeaters they're planning to spread once this planet's dead what have we become? where did this come from? all this space and all this time in my wake what's done is done, i’m still relieved the Grand Escape ended today and if I'm meant to die then maybe I should try to score a few points for humanity while I'm still alive you won't assemble me into your war machine to do to another world what you've done to me

From out of nowhere their ships ascend the welcome crew to escort me in could set these engines to self destruct up here in orbit it won't do much but somewhere on the surface this ship could be the bomb repenting our existence until everything is gone this ship could cure that enslaved disease if only i could get it up to speed if this repeater didn’t slow me down i’d drive this ship right into the ground “defense protocol 3206 initiated.” a conscious calculation “detaching repeater.” for self preservation my jaw left open, can't find the words no time to process what just occurred that precious cargo drifts off in space and soon to be the last of our race a few more revolutions, nosedive through the atmosphere i'll start the chain reaction to kill everything that's here world war is knocking at my door again feels like forever I've been traveling and i've grown weary of living all alone the last resort is going to take me home i'll be the light they want like a shining sun i'll be the last to blink will remain vigilant i bet they've never seen a suicidal supernova soldier they never will again fate, it may seem inhumane, but someone has to end this pain better dead than enslaved when endless worlds are saved i'll be the light they want like a shining sun i'll be the last to blink will remain vigilant i bet they've never seen a suicidal supernova soldier they never will again my racing mind, my beating heart my makeshift bomb, shaking apart my homemade sun begins to shine
