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
