Under this cold starry dome
I play my song
Hope it won't take long
To guide them home
Strange that we've come so far
Yet the ghosts of loss remain
I recite her words to spite the pain
"The universe is, and we are"
Coming in on a sucicide burn
It's far too late to turn
Boring crashes? None
Autopilot broke last run
Though the Nomai are dust
The technology didn't rust
A machine of beauty and terror
Their hope was not in error
The tiny hatchling
Desperately seeking something
Deep in the night sky
Giving it their best try
