Staring the Abyss

How could we have been so wrong?
Consequences are so strong
Our new home seems not to be

That promised land we wanted to know
Oh, our chances seem so low
Days go by and life does not fit in
We tried so hard to strive and to begin

We sailed right into our extinction
After all this time we failed the mission
This wasteland now holds

The songs of tomorrow
Are made of today's tears and sorrow
The chants of the future will echo in the stars
No fairy tale will wipe out these scars

We need a new beginning
