After Worlds Collide
A renegade red dwarf star came from the great space void.
The great cataclysm we sought to avoid.
The collision with our planet destroyed the earth we once knew.
Our space ark carried but a chosen few.
We are the fortunate ones to escape the earth’s fate.
On this new world, we have arrived on this date.
This new place is quite something to behold.
It can sustain life just like the earth of old.
On the old world, we encountered much strife.
This new planet is where we will start a new life.
