Per Aspera Ad Tenebras

The scorched seas, the blackened skies,
Into the unknown where we fly
We sacrifice all comfort for dread
Leave behind 10 billion dead
The nebulae, decaying moon,
This space ship will be our tomb
The crushing black with all horrors in store
Shall be our home forevermore
Time marches on, this planet has died
We are the remnants of mankind
The void is calling for our suffering
The gods bear witness to our conquering
Dials are spinning, solar sails away
We scavenge the stars to keep death at bay
Divine wisdom bestowed by our past
Survival no option, this fight's not our last
Ground shakes and skies torn asunder
Per aspera
Gravity no more can hold us under
Ad tenebras
We rise upon the dragon's breath
Per aspera
To an embrace as dark and sweet as death
Ad tenebras
And may our souls
Live on forevermore
Searching the stars beyond
The halls of the dead
Sing of our quest for more
Growing in number each day
And when our time
Come to a gruesome end
Writ in the stars the name
Mors navis
To now forget the fetid days of yore
Per aspera
To keep our gaze forever to the fore
Ad tenebras
Every age of man will know our likeness
Per aspera
Through suffering unto darkness
Ad tenebras

Twas deep beneath thoughts true clutch
Deep in the frozen sleep
Twas there i felt a loves keen touch
And gave my heart to keep
Atop green hill, felt fall wind blow
Her long hair gently wave
Her face without the lines i'd know
While she knelt by my grave
A touch, a dance, a child, a chance
At life full, free from woe
The crime, the facts, the trial, the axe
That swung my final blow
Twas then i saw her kneeling there
My spirit floating free
But naught could touch her skin, her hair
And yet she looked at me
What power is this, past death's cold kiss
Would let your gaze remain
Her smile had changed, deformed, deranged
She snarled
"You will know pain"
How is it you’re standing in this room?
The last i saw you was inside your tomb
This isn’t making any sense, what is this fear, you’ve brought my dear,
I’ve paid all of my dues
I’ve mourned the days that we have both lost
Crushed enemies at any sort of cost
I am but a lonely man, your death was not part of the plan
My love what do you want?
I hear your delicious cries
I hear your fetid plea
But nothing makes my blood rise
Like the taste of your agony
I’ll tear your mind in two
I’ll rip your flesh from bone
But baby if i was you
I’d get used to my brand new home
No! Haven’t i been suffering enough?
The memories come flooding month to month
This is the cross that i must bare, this punishment is not fair
Begone you succubus
Oh wicked fate just please give me a chance
To live through eternal penance
This longing that i have within, to atone for all my sins
My love grant me this dance
But what happened to the years
We lived with the promises
Of never ending love
And remember all the tears
And laughter and romance
We shared in our love?
Did you think you could get away??
See your life in your mind’s eye?
Oh darling you’re here to stay
And i think we all know why
Let’s burn your feet some more
Let’s crack your bones in half
Let’s turn your guts to gore
That should be good for a laugh! Ha ha haaa!

Through waking cloudy sight
A ship prepared to fight
A towering vessel stands before
This flashing in my eyes
Computers come online
Prepare the weapons now for war
The fates are on our side
To battle now we ride
Not again…
Listen you living trash heap...
I’ve told you once before now
Just leave me alone
I don’t want to be one of you
I still prefer my flesh and bone
Don’t make me angry
We don’t need to go to blows
You just go your creepy way
And I’ll just take my haul and go
Do not resist our power
We cannot hear your screams
We’ll take your flesh
And make you strong beyond your wildest dreams
Lower your shields and weapons
Our tractor beams deployed
We’ll make you one of us
And all your greatest strengths employ
We offer life eternal
We offer ego death
Our empire ever grows
Organic life takes dying breath
But if you choose resistance
If you refuse our prize
Our ship will be the last
Beheld within your dying eyes
Power we do not fear
Now where we stand is clear
This ship will never be enslaved
We seek a heroes death
We’ll fight to dying breath
This sea of stars will be your grave
The fates are on our side
To battle now we ride
Well don’t that beat it all now?
Some heroes riding hard!
You take your stinking metal mess
And go play in your own junkyard
Well I owe you strangers
My gratitude you’ve earned!
Let’s head on down to planetside
And party like tomorrow burns!

Engine failure
Hulls are breached
Twisted metal
Calamity
Repairs needed
AI screams
Descent to madness
Eldritch dreams
Stay the course
No remorse
Vision fading
Loss of blood
Distant planet
The only one
Stay the course
No remorse
Blazing starlight
Averting gaze
Comms have signal
Transmit away
Stay the course
No remorse
