Return of the Fleet

from Echoes of an Astral Empire by Abodean Skye

lyrics

(Lyrics by Bogdan Vera)

Incoming communication from the Admiral:

"This is what we've been waiting for. The day has finally to strike back and say no more. Far too long have our people wandered the stars, like nomads. We're tired of running, tired of living in fear - it ends today!

There is no going back! Our allied fleet is preparing to strike, our engine cores are set in motion, our missiles are ready to fly! Together we will return. We will hold the line or die trying.

Set a course, we are going home."

Fighters and commanders,
Fighters and survivors,
Far too long have gone without a home.

The cold machines' rebellion,
Mercyless and alien,
Has banished us and cast us into space.

In this time of sorrow,
We fear for tomorrow,
When all the worlds will burn and life will end.

We stand together,
There's nothing we can't weather
And maybe we can make a final stand!

Now at the end
One final push,
Calling our allies, the time has arrived!


Oh, tomorrow the fleet is coming home,
Tomorrow will be our tale of extinction or victory.
Oh, tomorrow the fleet is coming home,
In life or in death we'll see our fate,
The home world has called us here one last time.

Time has come for honor,
The battle drawing close,
Death or freedom echo in our hearts.

Hate is burning stronger,
Smoke is rising higher,
Dead machines and bodies on the ground
Bleeding.

Now at the end
One final push,
Calling our allies, the time has arrived!

[Chorus]

Oh, tomorrow the fleet is coming home,
Tomorrow will be our tale of extinction or victory.
Oh, tomorrow the fleet is coming home,
In life or in death we'll see our fate,
The home world has called us here one last time.

Look upon your enemy
The life that you have made!
Calculating, stark and aiming at your heart.

Does awareness give us life,
And is it yours to take?
Come tomorrow one of us will stand to rise again.

Here on the razor's edge
Answer me with honesty,
Search inside your heart and see,
Can these machines have a soul?

Here on the precipice
The fate of all life within your hands,
Search inside your heart and see,
How could you ever forgive us?

The sun will rise,
A new day will come,
A different day for a different world
(A safer world)

A painted sky,
The gold embrace of dawn,
A new alliance forged in blood
Will face the final night!

[Chorus]

Oh, tomorrow the fleet is coming home,
Tomorrow will be our tale of extinction or victory.
Oh, tomorrow the fleet is coming home,
In life or in death we'll see our fate,
The home world has called us here one last time.
