In the gloom figures move before us Shadows twisting as they come alive First contact at our journey's end In an instant it comes to this As we fight in eternal nightfall Overwhelmed we stand our ground To the death they defend their world Alien race we will always be Will we find our survival Or desolation in the stars? On a world never made for us Were we meant to die? What lies before us in the stars? Lost and forsaken human life? Imminent defeat in battle Too many gone to make a stand Decision made, we slip away Into the stars one final time Will we find our survival Or desolation in the stars? On a world never made for us Will we fight and die? What lies before us in the stars? Lost and forsaken human life?
