Ten million tons of steel, hurled across the sky
Our final sleeper ship, none left to say goodbye
For all our wisdom couldn't save her from the night
Now hear our children sing their requiem for the light
I wanna stop the wheels of time, I need it, I want it
The light that gives me life again
Ten thousand years in space we slept across the dark
Towards a burning star we sailed a gliding arc
But soon we had to journey back into the night
And hear our children sing their requiem for the light
I wanna stop the wheels of time, I need it, I want it
The light that gives me life again
Can you feel her burning love
Mother of all life, blazing glory from above
A requiem for the light
Far too old and far too young, behold another fading sun
Gaze with hope into the sky, but know that all our stars will die
The eternal night we must survive
I wanna stop the wheels of time, I need it, I want it
The light that gives me life again
