Black Star Destiny

Ahead a black mass of space

Ahead only, no going back

Ahead moving into a slow solemn future.

Behind leaving the beautiful past

Ahead is now our forever

Family, friends and memory

Play on our trained sanity

No where to go but deeper

into the black mass foreboding

Engines are dead and dead is forever.

Floating alone now we enter our last era.

Nothing to stop us on radar

Lost forever, no communication, no help.....never to return, never to be too far.

We will soon turn on each other

See the dark side of our humanity.

Time will now become our enemy.

Even together we're as alone as alone can be.

Drifting into a nothing but our insanity.

We will soon lose our dignity, lose humanity. 

No chance of hope, why talk when listening makes anger kick in.

Lost in dead space, dead in lost space. Whichever way you say it we know we won't win.

Black star awaits.

That is our fate.

There is no escape.
