Starlight Brigade

When I look up at the sky
What meets my eyes?
Can I just stand by
While the world dies?
(While the world dies)
A starship idling nearby
Is it my time?
I crawled inside and turned the cockpit clockwise
Toward the sunrise

I hear a voice in the back of my head
Screaming: This is suicide! Did you hear what I said?
But then it fades into nothing
With the rest of the light and sound
I’m on my way out!

Lift off!
The firestorm ignites
Last thoughts of a life by candlelight
Inside this speeding satellite
Halfway between the black and gray
Is no place for a life to waste away
I’ll take the road with all the stakes

Today, so many moons away
I safely say
That my heart’s true calling was never betrayed
Arrays of enemies await
But fears allay
We stand as one
A bond beyond the vast wave
Until the last grave

The mission orders typed and lights up our screens
Ignition flights
A thousand minds move simultaneously
Into the night a fleet of firelight jet engines scream
Turn the key
This is my destiny!

Last flight
I’d gladly give my life
For one night as a justice acolyte
Light shines only for the blind
Escape the endless dream of space
Black seas that I can’t navigate
Locate the great starlight brigade

We have come so far (so, so far)
Beyond the most distant star (woah, yeah)
Starlight within will guide (woah, yeah)
Us to the other side (woah, yeah)
(Whoa, yeah)

Lift off!
The firestorm ignites
Last thoughts of a life by candlelight
Inside this speeding satellite (whoa, yeah)
Halfway between the black and gray
Is no place for a life to waste away
I’ll take the road with all the stakes (starlight brigade)

Black knights and dark side battle cries
All die once they’re in my line of sight
This fight is all I know that’s right (whoa, yeah)
No fate but that of which we make
Noble as the oath we undertake
We are the great starlight brigade!
