All of the faces and all of the smiles
I've seen them all as I travel for miles
Curious creatures came from outer space
To meet with my soul in this desolate place
Furies and harbors to keep us all safe
Witches and wards and an end in disgrace
Purity fine and a heart without fear
We stepped into the two-thousand twelfth year
There's a signal that's carrying me to find
A secret and hidden holy tree
Trapped in its boughs is an ancient mind
Whose voice carried hope to me
Eons long gone in a city of gold
A civilization and people of old
Saw in the portents foretold in the stars
The fortune of the moon and passing of Mars
Terrible creatures from out of the void
Ravaged our world until all was destroyed
And then with this vision they set it in stone
To pass on this warning to safeguard our home
When this message of hope came to Merlin's ears
That wizard set to a great task
The greatest among all magical peers
Would save the world at last
That vision of the future taking to the stars beyond
Into the shining cosmos, out past our galactic pond
A ship of metal glory to ride through endless skies
Take us to the stars and then all of our fears will die
In ancient medieval Europe she was
The wisest of all magicians
Building a star ship for a great cause
Ignoring the battle within
As darkness swirled inside her aching heart
Corruption soon would spread
Completing her mission, she must play her part
Before she joins the dead
With the last of her power she was sealed away
To sleep for a thousand years
Slumbering forever in a day
Dreaming in her tears
Sealed in the ground, her last creation would wait
For the day that she knew would come
Until the day that I would pass through the gate
Speaking a foreign tongue
Her tablet of stone that she left behind
Instructions on what to do
To carry out the mission that was on her mind
And make her dreams come true
There's a vision she had to reach to the stars
And her failure brought such pain
So the three of us will do whatever we can
With a universe to gain
That vision of the future taking to the stars beyond
Into the shining cosmos, out past our galactic pond
A ship of metal glory to ride through endless skies
Take us to the stars and then all of our fears will die
Just a bunch of fools on our way through eternal heights
Taking in the lanterns that light up the whole sky at night
Wrapped in immortality and chasing a dream from the past
We are bound for infinity and beyond wherever we're cast
Tracing a path across the starlit trails and traipsing milky ways
Launching ourselves out into the unknown until the end of days
Lost inside the dance of the solar flares, plasma overflows
Celebrating our delight of how we've learned what no one knows
That vision of the future taking to the stars beyond
Into the shining cosmos, out past our galactic pond
A ship of metal glory to ride through endless skies
Take us to the stars and then all of our fears will die
To the stars
