I Saw Your Ship

I saw your ship today
Should have felt happy
Not too far away

I saw your ship again
Can’t be real this time
Shattered into ten

Outside this thin shell
A wasteland of stars
Heaven and hell

Pitch black as we fell
Our fever taking us
Out of this well

Freedom called to us
A song of light and life
In another world’s dust

I saw your ship today
And longed to see your face
Longed for you to stay

I saw your ship again
Like a nightmare I had
Can’t remember when

Beyond the cloudy wall
We met trembling
Needing to stop the fall

Burning in the planetlight
Warmth in this cold
Man’s eternal fight

I see your ship, my dear
Pieces drifting down
And I’m left here
