Ten million tons of steel hurled across the sky Our final sleeper ship, none left to say goodbye For all our wisdom couldn't save her from the night Now hear our children sing their requiem for the light I want to stop the wheels of time I need it, I want it The light that gives me life again Ten thousand years in space, we slept across the dark Towards a burning star, we sailed a gliding arc But soon we had to journey back into the night And hear our children sing their requiem for the light I want to stop the wheels of time I need it, I want it The light that gives me life again Can you feel her burning love? Mother of all life, blazing glory from above A requiem for the light Far too old and far too young Behold another fading sun Gaze with hope into the sky But know that all our stars will die The eternal night we must survive A requiem for the light I want to stop the wheels of time I need it, I want it The light that gives me life again
