There is no dawn, suns always on
Reflective glaring alloy
Darkness comes in the lee
True darkness spinning to leave
Left long ago this lost mission
Home long gone, ages gone
Star’s light isn't seen, the scene dark
Bleak in it’s meaning, I saw the spark
Apocalyptic, but a light
Bright then gone, dark night
Alone us twelve, diaspora
A dozen ships sail sorrow
Blue wonder we found
Lunar lee
Patches of ground
Luscious activity
Descending dash into the seas
Life abundant, with splashing glee
We excitedly lift to inspect the land
From forest to mountains massive and grand
What will we find, new alloys we can mine?
Hopes are high as we search for the creature
Dirty beasts with some of the right features
Bipedal, a sizable brain-case, rapid fornicators
Our vessel pointed us to this horn of plenty
Our new home, in 10000 revolutions
Humanity's entry will come to fruition
Engineered to feast upon the universe
They will be us, I must believe
For us to go on in longevity
To them we give seed
So one day this planet, they will leave
