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
