Godspeed, Vanguards - text

[Sounds of person entering cockpit]
- Ignition... clear for take-off

The burning empires of our past
Pray to the winds
Memories made of a cindered ash
Never forgetting the reason
Never forgiving the past
Never believing in freedom
This great storm will build a throne
These first Vanguards will lead us home
Vanguards lead us home
Vanguards lead us home

In earth's final breath
We sailed the blackened sea
Upon the wings of our god machine
This great storm will build a throne
These first Vanguards will lead us home
Born to flee
Never forgetting the reason
Never forgiving the past
Never believing in freedom
Vanguards lead us home
Vanguards lead us home

[Radio chatter]
- ... stabilizing, stand by
- Copy
- Standing by
- Monitor route
- Copy that
- Position and hold
- Advise and clear off access
- Initializing descent... going dark
- Here we go
- Contact ground

Tear the horizon
We bring the gift of life
At any moment
We will breathe the air of our new world
Those born above the clouds
Prepare yourself for solid ground
The air of our new world
Here we stand in the space between
A dream and reality

This great storm will build a throne
These first Vanguards will lead us home
Born to flee
Never forgetting the reason
Never forgiving the past
Never believing in freedom

Godspeed
