Earth, the core of civilization

Now overpopulated and weak

30 billion strong, we look to the stars

To make a new home, we must embrace the void

Massive shipyards in orbit

Space elevators miles up

World ships fuelled and ready

Project Exodus begins

A chaotic scene

An inhuman dream

To leave the solar system

We may never see

The place that will be

Our new world light-years away

Masses of humanity

Crossing the vast gulf

Fusion drives lit across the sky

The world ships accelerate

Fire near the Aquila rift

The nebula passes by

Through the void, the world ships drift

Mankind's test is nigh

Epsilon Orionis

Epsilon Orionis

We will save the human race one day

We will drive dark final death away

Ships ground down as years go by

Air gets stale without supply

Hydroponics failing

The biology is in doubt

Seeds of rebellion as we burn out

Send the call-out

The fleet limps along

Will we make it there?

Flames of rebellion; their hearts aflame.

Mutiny has been put down

Draconian justice meted out

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Will keep the rabble in rout

So we burn through the stars, but who will lead us now?

Can we change our bloody fate by playing god somehow?

We can survive by will alone

We can thrive out on our own.
