The Exodus

          

                  Words and Music – Dale Echnoz

 

300 ships racing to creation, refugees from earth on board

Solar sails hoisted in the cold dark void, inching to the infinite

Lifeboats built with man’s last gasp, one final desperate cooperation

We are the last of our kind

 

Nations crumbled, Fail safes failed

Chaos fell to madness, we stayed hidden and prepared

Our once blue planet dying from neglect, troubles turned to struggles and we left

Better to leave than be left behind.

Pre-Chorus 1:

Tomorrow we walk in the future

This day, destiny before us

Old life,, and regrets left behind

We shout with one voice

 

CHORUS

WE LIVE

All’s quiet on the Exodus

WE CHOOSE

This road , before us, we are pulled to the light

WE DREAM

Of new tomorrows, man’s last chance

All’s quiet on the Exodus

All’s quiet on the Exodus tonight

 

200 years in dreamless hibernation, it’s a deep cold sleep

Corps of Van Winkles coming back to life, shaking off the centuries

Rising sons and daughters of the Exodus, see their corner of the universe

Hungry for home, for the first and last time

 

100 Souls seeking their salvation, pilgrims from mother earth

Immigrants standing on the promised land, they’re alien expatriates

Shelters built boundaries are drawn, The manifest destiny of last resort

Staking our claim, the armada of man

 

Pre-Chorus 2:

No fault no path of least resistance

Double sunrise hours away

First morning of the first day

We shout with one voice

 

CHORUS:

 

Pre-Chorus 1:

 

CHORUS

 

It's all about the music
