The Forsaken

In the gloom figures move before us
Shadows twisting as they come alive
First contact at our journey's end
In an instant it comes to this

As we fight in eternal nightfall
Overwhelmed we stand our ground
To the death they defend their world
Alien race we will always be

Will we find our survival
Or desolation in the stars?
On a world never made for us
Were we meant to die?

What lies before us in the stars?
Lost and forsaken human life?

Imminent defeat in battle
Too many gone to make a stand
Decision made, we slip away
Into the stars one final time

Will we find our survival
Or desolation in the stars?
On a world never made for us
Will we fight and die?

What lies before us in the stars?
Lost and forsaken human life?
