Space Cowboy Lyrics

To flee their womb, decayed and spent

Through the warp of hyperspace

Ships that glimmer in the bright

Into the night, salvation sent

Cross the sunfields, wreathed in flame

The stars to guide on solar wind

Searching for a home anew

An Eden is the world they claim

Sheathed in armour dark and grim

Arrayed to drop on his command

Screaming angels wait on high

Into the maelstrom, they descend

Emerald seas and endless fields

Brazen sunsets, steal my breath

But beauty's tainted by my loss

Hidden scars left by her death

My new born son I've left

Who I may never see again

To save him I must fight

And be the hero he thinks I am

This new world we'll call home

Beasts control this savage land

The cleansing must begin now

Take our harvest in iron hands

Through golden fields

By ancient paths

An ambuscade that's fit for fools

Discovered by our scouts

You can see the fear in their eyes

As blood spills away

We are the reapers

Their lives our hay

No quarter from crimson lips

This is our day

Before me lie their corpses

Souls to claim

Through ruins I stalk my prey

The smothered cries amongst the grey

But a bloody scene saps my will

The child has seen her father slain

I can see the fear in her eyes

As she meets my gaze

Clutching at the body

Eyes a misty haze

For the life of my newborn son

Is this the price I pay?

For the greater good

What's the price I pay?

What have I become?

Sickened by our way

For the greater good

What's the price I pay?

What have I become?

Forward marching on

For the greater good

What's the price I pay?

What have I become?

What prize have we won?

Ending I've begun

Fury left uncaged

In my holy rage

Puppet that invades

Woken on this stony earth

The leaders path I must tread

My solemn silence at its end

Onwards must my men be led

Senses dulled by warfare's drug

I failed to see the pain we'd cause

People slain the world a husk

Fields once gold now turn to rust

Reapers enveloping crushing community

Strangling subsistence all for the greater good

This is what I must do, Eden takes sacrifice

In the end all I've done is for your survival

Remember me my son

Take heed, my son still young, bright may your future be

A world's people pillaged, gifting you paths anew

This is what I must do, Eden takes sacrifice

In the end all I've done is for your survival

Remember me my son

Remember me

Remember me

Remember me

Remember me
