lyrics

(Lyrics by Bogdan Vera)

Part 1

Long ago in ancient days before our time,
Great designs and wonderous cities came to be.

Admirals and pilots of endless fleets took flight!

Powers of creation in their hand
[Interstellar travel, watching and controlling all]
The past was known and the future seen with technology.

Admirals and pilots of endless fleets took flight!

[Chorus]
Enter the gates of the ancients and see
Long lost and distant their ghosts hold the key
Leaving the sorrow and dying behind
Leaving their makings for humans to find
Gateways and starships of mystery,
Far beyond our dreams.

Enemies at the gate beyond their power
Living ships and dark desires consuming life.

Admirals and pilots of endless fleets took flight!

Seeing no solution to be found
[Dying ever faster, heading for extinction]
Sensing no escape they took the only chance.

[Chorus]
Enter the gates of the ancients and see
Long lost and distant their ghosts hold the key
Leaving the sorrow and dying behind
Leaving their makings for humans to find
Gateways and starships of mystery,
Far beyond our dreams.

A storm of souls leaving this plane
Once and for all, a fleeting flame
Caught in the wind, racing past eternity
To seek another life.

Faint illusions far away
Fading into shades of grey,
Into the great abyss
A silent shadow play.

Faint illusions far away,
Fading into shades of grey,
As night gives in to day
Once cycle ends another begins
Tomorrow come what may!

Part 2

Spirits rising, this flesh left behind means nothing at all,
Lights and silence in the night.
Wills unbroken, destinies long awaited fulfilled as one
Take my hand and face the stars.

A final smile before the flight begins,
Leaving behind forever more.
Ancient souls left this plane long ago.

Spirits rising, this flesh left behind means nothing at all,
Lights and silence in the night.
Wills unbroken, destinies long awaited fulfilled as one
Take my hand and face the stars.

Spirits rising, this flesh left behind means nothing at all,
Lights and silence in the night.
Wills unbroken, destinies long awaited fulfilled as one
Take my hand and face the stars.

We must learn from their mistakes and ever be tempted,
We will venture onward to heed the call of stars
Follow through, find the key, unlock the mystery!

Ancient souls left this plane long ago,
Ancient souls left this plane long ago.
