10. Zero Zero

The end of the world has come and gone
There's no more to be said about the past
What is done has been done, now move on
Turn your face toward the future at last

Restart the calendar at zero
Mankind in the age of space
This is a new era for heroes
And the new challenges they face

Year zero

Yet the cruelty of mankind carries on
Into new worlds it leads the way
Dictatorship leading to rebellion
A civil war drives the music away

Restart the calendar at zero
Mankind in the age of space
This is a new era for heroes
And the new challenges they face

Year zero
Zero
Starting over again

Year zero
Zero
Let the new age begin

We are starting on a path to a new world
Led by dancing lights and singing warrior girls
This is how the future of mankind will go
Listen to the songs they sing and you will know

Zero
Zero

Restart the calendar at zero
Mankind in the age of space
This is a new era for heroes
And the new challenges they face

Zero
Zero

We need new heroes
Zero

Welcome to year zero
Zero

Let the war through space begin
