A thousand needles of fire, each pinprick the end of a dream The cipher encrypted a key to escape in a flying machine The landing bay consumed in flames The cipher didn't lie this time, the engines engaged One less victim of this crime, it's time to leave This disaster behind A thousand ships are on fire in the sky, above the inferno below Are these the memories, the tears in my eyes, or is it the smoke? My velox flies, my knuckles white upon the controls The city ends as I ascend to stations unknown Flying faster, I take one last look back I'll never see this place again And no one will know, I'm flying alone The city's destroyed, why say goodbye? The faster I fly into the void This fate belongs to no one else So don't pretend that you know how it ends
