1. THE AWAKENING

"We are washed ashore, carried upon the dark waves of a galactic ocean
Eyes weakened by aeons of slumber, now blinded by the pale blue light of twin stars
Yet we must rise and brace ourselves
As we descend upon this unknown world"


2. A LIGHT IN THE DARK

Seeing, the world through our wide open eyes
For eternity, we've always been longing for...
Freedom, to travel beyond the stars to find
A light in the dark

Reaching, for the stars and beyond the sun
Unknowingly we've travelled far
A journey, a quest to be free

Light. No longer we have to
Fight. Behind us we've left our
Might. Awakened we're reborn
Our memories have been torn
Forever to strive for our peace
The universe holding the key
We've yet to be free

Closer, we're heading for our new world
Not a sign, of struggle or endless strife
We have reached our paradise

No longer we have to
Fight. Behind us we've left our
Strife. Something heard our plight
Our memories have been torn, we'll never
Return to our past
Our new life will surely surpass
This time we shall last

[Solo: Holmlid]
[Solo: Lindskog]

We reached, for the star and beyond the sun
And we travelled far too long
Serenity's our guiding star

Light. No longer we have to
Fight. Behind us we've left our
Might. Awakened we're reborn
Our memories have been torn, forever
We'll strive for the light
Behind us we've left all the lies
We've yet to arise


3. FLIGHT FROM DESTRUCTION

Never more we’ll know violence and war

Our way of life is that of peace
As we gaze upon the skies
See the fires of our doom
We must prevail

Our destruction
Must be prevented by all means
We must flee from our enemies
Our pilots scrambling to take off
To preserve this way of life
We must survive

As our world stands ablaze like a sun
And we depart into the silent unknown
The legacy that we all share
Carried deep within our hearts
Have to live on

Our destruction
Must be prevented by all means
We are fleeing from our enemies
The pilots push the engines hard
To escape a certain fate
Cause we must survive

We must find a new world to ensure that we can live on
We must pass our knowledge to the generations to come
Or our race shall be lost
It will fade, and turn to dust
Save us now

Never before have we been forced to flee not to be destroyed

Our destruction
Must be prevented by all means
We are fleeing from our enemies
The pilots push the engines hard
To escape a certain fate
Cause we must survive

Our survival
What can we do if not just run
To be free from our enemies
Maybe someday we’ll find a home
That we can call our own
Where we can live on


4. THROUGH GALAXIES ENDLESS

So close, to annihilation
We barely made it, from our home, void of life
Searching, throughout the cosmos
Hope to discover, a new world where we can start again, begin anew

Drifting into unknown darkness
Through galaxies endless, where no one's travelled before
Planets soar by and we're wondering why
Our people must fly to perserve our lore

Travelled, for what seems like ages
Now there before us, a new world appears for our eyes
Can this, be what we've seeking
Once driven away, from our home, now we're standing here, on familiar soil

Solo: Mörck
Solo: Holmlid

Journeyed through unknown darkness
Through galaxies endless to arrive at this world
Oh will this be where we can live in peace?
To build up our lives, create our wonders there?
Serenity, tranquillity, divinity, we'll be free for eternity


5. THE SCATTERING OF DARKNESS

So we've reached where we were bound
Travelled far, serenity found
Now our splendour, grace will be restored
And prosperity can once more bless our lives

Thus we are free to follow our calling
To search for our sacred goddess divine

We trust our faith, our knowledge will guide us
Believing will scatter the darkness
that bound us in utter despair
And as a new light arrived so we can rejoice
Cause our lives have been restored

Excavations have begun
Deeper towards the core we explore
And then a ray of shining silver glow
We have found the relic of our lore

We've found a way to salvation
To worship and pray will save our race

We trust our faith, our knowledge will guide us
Believing will scatter the darkness that bound us in utter despair
And as a new light arrived so we can rejoice
Cause our lives have been restored

[Solo: Mörck]

"Little they knew, what light they'd ignited
A beacon of doom, of destruction and pain
They thought they were free, from fear and extinction
And now once again they're hunted knowing
not that darkness looms...again"

[Solo: Holmlid]

We trust our faith, our knowledge will guide us
Believing will scatter the darkness that bound us in utter despair
And as a new light arrived so we can rejoice
Cause our lives have been restored

And so we're free from oppression
And we can live our lives in peace
For eternity...


6. A THREAT FROM BEYOND THE SHADOWS

Since the dawn of time
We have conquered and thrived on lesser species
That have lived without fear, without greed, now we will

Find them all, oppress them destroy them
Retrieve all their knowledge, we've done it before
What they have, could be used against us
We have to prevent what could be our fall

We are far superior, we've been chose to
Rule this universe supreme endlessly
With force we'll show them they're not free

So it seems, we've found their location at last
We have to launch all of our might
And destroy their will to fight

They have all the vast innovations
These baffling creation that lead them through life
Should we take possession of all
We would rule undisputed and move towards the next World

As we are superior, we've been chose to
Rule this universe supreme endlessly
Our conquest knows no bundaries

"This time has come at last. We will annihilate their pathetic fleet,
now cowardly hiding in the shadow of that old dimmed star.
Such technological wonders...
Baffling, yet utterly worthless against our supreme firepower"

Assembling our forces, gathering our fleet
Beyond the Nightstar, they have taken retreat

Our firepower, overwhelming, unrelenting
Our numbers, countless fighters
Nothing can oppose us, godlike power

And when their world stand ablaze
We'll claim all as our own

None can stand against us, our power's without end
Throughout galaxies so endless we shall

Ever be superior, we've been chose to
Rule this universe supreme endlessly
Our conquest knows no bundaries
With force we'll show them they're not free

We'll rule endlessly...

With force we'll show them they're not free
Our conquest knows no bundaries
We soon shall rule


7. APHELION

(instrumental)


8. CELESTIAL SQUADRON

Feeling our dread drawing nearer
What we thought we had once left behind
And beneath our new sun we'll make
Our final stand

Charge - systems online
Launch - take to the skies

Roaring engines, take us to the dark
Blasters aiming for our mark
But can we overcome their entire fleet
No way out, there's no retreat

There in the blaze of the Nightstar
A command ship approaches from afar
It is vast as a moon and it will be the doom for us all

Charge - systems online
Launch - take to the skies
Go - full speed ahead
Blast - fire at will, at will

Roaring engines, take us to the dark
Blasters aiming for our mark
But can we overcome their entire fleet
No way out, there's no retreat

[Solo: Mörck]
[Solo: Holmlid]

Roaring engines, take us to the dark
Blasters aiming for our mark
But can we overcome their entire fleet
There's no retreat

And as luck now will decide our fate
We pray that it's not too late
And our pilots are scrambling to save
Our race


9. RESURRECTING AN ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY

A discovery's been made
Long forgotten and lost
A device granting power that comes with a cost
This horrific invention
Banned by elders of old
Our blasters enhanced with a godlike power untold

Lost and buried deep in our past
This might turn the tide of the battle to come

We can harness the power of this dark sun
Now we might stand a chance
Beams of black antimatter will tear them apart
We resent using this as our way out
But what choice do we have?
It's between us and them, now we will make our stand

Our ancient invention
Rediscovered again
It absorbs the dark solar winds from our new sun
To bring ruin and death
So we have to forget why we buried
This knowledge so long ago, so long ago

We can harness the power of this dark sun
Now we might stand a chance
Beams of black antimatter will tear them apart
We resent using this as our way out
But what choice do we have?
It's between us and them, now we will make our stand

[Solo: Lindskog]

We can harness the power of this dark sun
Now we might stand a chance
Beams of black antimatter will tear them apart
We resent using this as our way out
But what choice do we have?
It's between us and them, now we will make our stand


10. THE POWER OF THE NIGHTSTAR

Now they finally have a way to fight back
The power of the Nightstar fuels their fighters
Hope’s again been reignited
It’s do or die one last time

So, the board has been set
The pieces now are in play
Darting towards a clash
Determined to prove their cause

Strength or wits
Who shall prevail
The forces of conquest
Or those wanting peace

No more shall they run, no more they’ll hide
This time they will stand their ground

Now they finally have a way to fight back
The power of the Nightstar fuels their fighters
Hope’s again been reignited
It’s do or die one last time

Outnumbered they are
But the power of night
Gives them the strength beyond
What their aggressors know
Will it be enough
To survive this enormous ordeal

Now they will fight, there’s nowhere to hide
They’ll fight or they’ll die

Now they finally have a way to fight back
The power of the Nightstar fuels their fighters
Hope’s again been reignited
It’s do or die one last time

Long have their journey lasted
At last a new era lies there waiting for them
New time to thrive and prosper
With peace as their prize if they defeat their foes

Freedom is within their grasp and
One final challenge stands before them
Peace will be attained when this is over
And this battle’s won

So now they finally have a way to fight back
The power of the Nightstar fuels their fighters
Hope’s again been reignited
It’s do or die one last time

So now they finally have a way to fight back


11. FINAL HOUR

The final our has come
Fighters are ready to go
There's no escape anymore
Our chance to strike back has finally come

So we blast off
Towards the darkened skies
We will fight for
Our survival

We've brought back the knowledge of old
to bring ruin upon our foes
Powerful weapons
That fire antimatter will turn
their fleet into dust and then
in the end we'll truly be free forever
But first we must bring down their giant, moon-sized command ship

"Behold their deluded ignorance!
As these fools rightly dread our gargantuan mother-vessel,
they innocuously discount the inexhaustible armada
mustering mere moments away!"

"Utter obliteration shall be their fate!
Let the extinction commence!"

"Ha!
You think you can stand against all of our might
We'll send you into oblivion"

"We launch all our forces
We'll destroyed them one by one
Giving no quarter
Victory will be our ours"

It is no use, we cannot stand against their fleet
We have to launch the ancient power of old

There's no choice
We fight for survival
Raise all shields, prepare for the countdown
Hopefully
We can withstand the blast
And hope for serenity.

Dark matter
It tears them to pieces
Capital ships implode just like dying stars
Few we remain
But we survived this battle
Now at last we will be left in peace


12. JOURNEY'S END

Silence, at long last it's never over
Against all odds we still remain
We've passed through the needle's eye
As the Nightstar slowly collapses,
As it's drained of all its power

Cruising through what was left
Of a thousand battleships
Our kin's final resting place
The remnants of our race set off
To a final destination
Hopefully peace we'll find, someday

No one longer yearn for our demise
Once again we're searching for a home
Travelling far through worlds without stars
We have passed a thousand or more
In search of a place where we can live in peace
But so far, only emptiness we have found

"And so we journeyed through the enveloping cosmic dark.
In all this vastness,
and obscure stellar systems,
for many aeons we found little hope.

At these far outreaches of the universe,
we found few worlds that could harbour life.
No place to which our species could migrate
But suddenly, through the darkness, a pale blue dot emerged.
And we knew, this was where we would make our stand."

[Solo: Lindskog]

Hope is all but lost for our race
We've survived all hardships that we've faced
Travelled so far, to find a new star
That can grant, a new life for us all
In search of a place, far into space
Now it seems that we have arrived

We've reached a remote, small galaxy
And we see a world of blue and green
The third one from the star
This view seems familiar somehow
It feels like our home
Tell us we free


13. OBLIVION (M83 COVER)

Since I was young
I knew I'd find you
But our love was a song
Sung by a dying swan
And in the night

You hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams (in your dreams)
You see me falling, falling

Breathe in the light
I'll stay here in the shadows, oh-oh-oh
Waiting for a sign, as the tide grows
Higher and higher and higher

And when the nights are long
All the stars recall
Your goodbye
Your goodbye

And in the night
You hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams
You see us falling, falling

And in the night
You hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams
You see us falling, falling

Breathe in the light
And say goodbye
Breathe in the light
And say goodbye
