[I. ...and The Earth Wept]
I tuck you in ever so gently
Still you cried and turned from me
You stepped on my heart
I forgave you just like mothers do
From under your shoes I still carried you
Soon my body will burn into ashes and dust
And rain will turn all that glitter [bad word] One last pill for the pain
Sit down, let me explain...
Why my [bad word] stay
My child I know you never meant to...
These scars just won't fade away
And I'm sure you never knew
I give up, I give in
Help December let a new year begin
Take what's left and move on
Fly away
Be gone...
[II. Poisoned Land]
[III. Leaving Home]
The morrow winds blow and herald a time
When man will be damned for all his crime
We all were too bold, now we all can see
How the lifegiver's bleeding to death before me
I am packing my bags, I'm waiting in line
This tragedy forces us away from this land
As I board this creature of steel,
I kiss her goodbye, give her time to heal
[IV. Take-off]
Loud sirens wail to send a
Goldonder towards the light
Leaving the ground we bathe in starlight
While heading for oceans of night
Safe in Aniara's warm and tender care we ride
Eight thousand hearts that fled the fires
For a life at a distant home
[V. Turn For The Worst]
swerve to clear the Hondo stone
(Now we proclaim it known)
Took us off course came too wide of Mars to turn back home
There's no turning back, guiding units broke and cracked
We will never win this game
From pledges and bonds, our system of suns
Locked down in the vaulted gateways
I thousands of years ram through the final frontier
The Lyre greets us there
Our ship at drift into the void
Through nothingness deployed
With an empty star [bad word] aware
Our lives destroyed
Fears are hard to hide, praying as denial subsides
We can never win this game
From pledges and bonds, our system of suns
Locked down in the vaulted gateways
I thousands of years ram through the final frontier
moth to a flame
[VI. New Balance]
Glass-like is the stare encircling us
The system of stars hang frozen still
...a gaze through the window
Six years down we still feign dawn and sunset
But space no light will spawn
...eternally darker
Now setting sails
But never know the worlds she's trading
Where the life belongs
Mima lead the way;
Shine your light, be a beacon of hope at night
Be our guide, I need what you're doing to me
Shine your light, blind us when reality bites
We so need the magic she does
I asked me a question, no reply
I dream me a life then lived a lie
...dream me a nightmare
I traveled the stars but passed them by
For trapped on Aniara, here was I
...always been leaving
We sit and stare,
At all the marvels that she brings us
Lights the life in you
Mima lead the way;
Shine your light, be a beacon of hope at night
Perfect grace in the barren house of space
Shine your light, blind us when reality bites
Mima, save us from seeing ourselves
[VII. Death Of The Goddesses]
Inside the Mima's eyes, we lived our lives
Then like an arrow through this jest
Destiny sent us a greeting from home, let us see;
We have no home anymore
While Mima showed the final war
Her circuits bled and fried, as our mother died
She's darkened by our sins
We begin to realize it
When I saw home so blue, be torn in two
All by the hands of her own child
Humanity; the festering cancer that
Dug her own grave
We have no home anymore
While Mima showed the final war
Her circuits bled and fried, seems she too will die
She couldn't bear to see what will be
Our haven's dying
I couldn't them if I tried
As they [bad word] to see her die
Chaos, panic, people fight
