Tales from the Afterburner - Sheavy

They took a long, dark journey back into the void

Escaped the earth’s black world of decay

They watched as mankind brought about it’s own demise

Fell down to satan’s slaves

Upon a world unknown came the future

In peace and love they would live every day

With all the hate and greed far behind them

It was a better life they made

Too soon the poisoned earth was forgotten

The sons of freedom now in their graves

Inside their children’s hearts grew the darkness

The start of all man’s wicked ways

They watched the cities rise up around them

And tower high over empires of greed

The burning hate that their father’s had fled from

Could it be thier destiny?

To the skies their rockets blazed

With lethal might they soared

Killing sprees on distant worlds

A new Apocalypse was born

On and on through galaxies

The endless wars they waged

Back on earth ten legions rose

The fire of Satan’s rage

The crumbling skies rained darkness above them

The blackened sun brought an unending night

The shattered dreams of a world dead and dying

The end of all man’s hope and light

A single flame carried those who remembered

On through the shield where it’s all had begun

Once again they would fight for their freedom

As they headed into the sun
