This world was dead from the start When the ancients first found this planet It was nothing but a wasteland A roiling sea Chaos and entropy Uninhabited Uninhabitable
No sign of life A million miles away from home No light to guide Transplanting the seeds of hope
They moved the mountains into place Terraformed the surface to their will They sculpted oceans out of desert space Flawless design in each detail
A formless void A toxic tempest A new beginning Within their hands
No sign of life A million miles away from home No light to guide Transplanting the seeds of hope
They carved the rivers out of dust Transplanted forests where they stand Broke up the fallow planet's crust Injected life into the land
No way to see it then No way to predict Hidden beneath the skin The host could not detect
No way to see it then No way to predict Hidden beneath the skin The host could not detect
There is a curse above the water And now it lives within us all It is a blight that will devour It will devour us all Lost forever Lost inside our own Flesh Flesh No sign of life No light to guide
