Havenlights

[Act 1: Departure]
Say your goodbyes
We're leaving tonight
Last chance to see
The golden sunrise
All board the starship
Hatches go down.

Sails are set
Engines are running
We're sailing away
To new horizons, new skies
Now sit down, hang on tight.

[Act 2: The voyage]
The vastness of space we've just left behind
A coldness you feel deep inside
Wandering through black voids and bright starlit nights
I promise, one day we'll be there.

Across barren lands, desert's all's in sight
I will keep on searching, desperate measures for desperate times
I just know, I feel, it's out there somewhere
And it's waiting for us to be found
A port in the stars, I'll step on new ground
We will make our dreams true right there.

Through the stars we ride
Hundred thousand miles to find
A haven, a light
Our home in the sky, together.

I will find the way
Never lose your hope, your faith
Destination is near, there's no reason to fear
We'll live to see the haven lights.

Six months have passed but the end is still far
We still haven’t found our star
How long will it be until our voyage is over?
How long till we’re back on dry land?

Brace yourselves, my friends: a storm is getting near
We need all hands on deck, this is not the time for fear
The hull’s been breached, we’re shutting the bulkheads
Prepare for the coming impact
But hope’s not lost, we’ll make it again
The voyage will not end today.

Through the stars we ride
Hundred thousand miles to find
A haven, a light
Our home in the sky, together.

I will find the way
Never lose your hope, your faith
Destination is near, there's no reason to fear
We'll live to see the haven lights.

[Act 3: Sacrifice]
The path is long and risky
Brave people lost to the eternal skies
Forever.

Ride on
Far away
There's no time for looking back.

Ride on
Don't lose your way
There's no way to bring em back.

We always knew it would not
Be an easy, quick or painless ride
And they knew it too.

[Act 4: Remembrance]
Now we've come so far
We've lost, and we've gained so much.

The road was long and winding
It is worth it, I used to say
The hope was bright and it was blinding
I never questioned it, anyway.

Remember: seize the day
Don't let the memories fade away
We've travelled so fast and so far
Deep wounds will always leave a scar.

Far away
Deep in the stars.

The souls we've left behind
Watch over the ones we're still to find
The ones who sacrificed themselves
Helped us: we've made it in the end.
