From the recording Future of Man
Lyrics
Exodus
(Music - M. Novak, D. Echnoz, Lyrics - D. Echnoz)
300 ships racing to creation, refugees from earth onboard Solar sails hoisted in the cold dark void, inching to the infinite Lifeboats built with man’s last gasp, one final desperate cooperation
We are the last of our kind Nations crumbled, Fail safes failed Chaos fell to madness, we stayed hidden and prepared Our once blue planet dying from neglect, troubles turned to struggles and we left Better to leave than be left behind
Tomorrow we walk in the future This day, destiny before us Old life,, and regrets left behind We shout with one voice Chorus: WE LIVE All’s quiet on the Exodus we choose This road , before us, we are pulled to the light we dream of new tomorrows, man’s last chance All’s quiet on the Exodus All’s quiet on the Exodus tonight
200 years in dreamless hibernation, deep cold sleep Corps of Van Winkles coming back to life, shaking off the centuries Rising sons and daughters of the Exodus, see their corner of the universe Hungry for home, for the first and last time
100 Souls seeking their salvation, pilgrims from mother earth Immigrants standing on the promised land, alien expatriates Shelters built boundaries drawn, New manifest destiny Staking our claim, the armada of man
