Ashes of Kobol

Verse 1

Printed first in 78 magazine size

Marvel Super Special number eight before your eyes

Twenty three issues monthly 79 to 81

McKenzie writing Simonson drawing till the story was done

It went cold then Maximum lit up in July 95

Liefeld and Hatch bringing the whole fleet alive

War of Eden four books strong in December

Realm tried in 98 then it all fell apart

Dynamite holds the charter since 2006

Classic and reimagined on the same old altar

Keeping that frakkin fire burning every season

Chorus

Ohhh drifting through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreaming in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rolling slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Verse 2

Commander Adama laid out six to twelve

Dreaming sacred Kobol scriptures in a cosmic haze

His boy Apollo took the chair in the later years

Leading us toward Earth through Maximum's fears

Starbuck the space cowboy cigar still lit

Sold himself to Eurayle just to save the fleet

Left behind on Scavenger World alone

Athena on comms Boomer in the trench

Jolly the quiet one found the final end

Number 22 and 23 coordinates for Earth

The planned ending they never showed on TV

Baltar grinnin with Lucifer at his side

Count Iblis with the devil eyes

Sheba with a blaster Cain on the Pegasus

Riding back through seraph light

Pre-Chorus

War of Eden Baltar's fleet attacks

Sheba shoots Apollo in the back

Chorus

Ohhh drifting through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreaming in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rolling slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Verse 3

Seraphs bring the Pegasus and Cain across

Adama finally dies in that cosmic wrack

Then Abnett came with Death of Apollo

Ten years out the fleet thought the war was through

But a voice from the past a twist of fate

Drags Galactica back into the blue

Cylon Apocalypse Ghost Squadron in stealth black

Starbuck solo books Origins going way back

And the ultimate high-dea of them all

Galactica versus Galactica

78 crew meet the 04 crew in one timeline crack

Pre-Chorus

Marvel made their own Kobol when the TV cut

Dynamite gave us both worlds on the same hash pipe

Chorus

Ohhh drifting through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreaming in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rolling slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Bridge

Pass me the charts to Earth man I can't read the stars

Lost on the flip side with two Vipers and three bars

Adama's dreaming Apollo's dying Starbuck's always leaving

But the comics keep the fleet alive every time we stop believing

Final Chorus

Light it up Viper rolling slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Light it up let the Tylium burn low

So say we all in slow-mo

Outro

So say we all

So say we all

So say we all

In slow-mo
