about

Earth is about to implode upon itself from all the damage mankind has done to it. Our heroes are making their daring escape aboard their ship, Mors Navis.

lyrics

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
