| 1 | You children who look at the vastness of space |
| 2 | And the ages of time are awed by such a journey |
| 3 | Many of your lifetimes |
| 4 | But how many times would our kind have given our lives |
| 5 | For but one moment as you and freedom from the boredom of space |
| 6 | A hundred years, a thousand years and more |
| 7 | The nature of the curse of our jailers and fathers, |
| 8 | To live in pain and witness our form changing by virus. |
| 9 | So that we became unknown in features even to ourselves. |
| 10 | Yet it transpired this journey that no space is void |
| 11 | And upon the single star system |
| 12 | you call the Solar System we came |
| 13 | Less than two thousand survivors |
| 14 | of what once was the most feared race of warriors in all the galaxy |
| 15 | To the third planet we came |
| 16 | Two hundred and eighty thousand Earth years go |
| 17 | And found paradise. |
