The Beginning of the End

In the great maw of space, where the dead now belong

Lies the wreck of a world premature in its fall

It's wrapped up in the stories that turned into song

From the people who answered the great siren's call

The faces of lost ones stand out in our minds

In the great maw of space, where the dead now belong

With the ashes spread out, blending all different kinds

And the people left mourning all strive to be strong

We have traveled to right what we know are our wrongs

And have lost so much more in what we left behind

In the great maw of space, where the dead now belong

We are hoping redemption is what we will find

The remains of a species lost out in vast night

We now call to the dead with our sharp, keening song

But - even here in our journey, we're lost to our plight

In the great maw of space, where the dead now belong
