Ashes of Kobol

Verse 1

Well they printed it first in 78 magazine size

Marvel Super Special 8 and the saga's in your eyes

Then 23 issues monthly 79 to 81

McKenzie writin Simonson drawin till the story was done

It went cold then Maximum lit up in July 95

Rob Liefeld and Richard Hatch bringin the fleet alive

War of Eden in December four books strong

Realm tried to keep the light in 98 and then it was gone

Since 2006 Dynamite holds the charter

Classic and reimagined on the same altar

Chorus

Ohhhh driftin through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost on Scavenger World with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Verse 2

Commander Adama laid out from 6 to 12

Dreamin bout Kobol scriptures in a cosmic haze

His boy Apollo took the chair in the later years

Leadin us toward Earth in Maximum's fears

Starbuck the space cowboy cigar still lit

Sold himself to Eurayle just to save the fleet

Athena on comms Boomer in the trench

Jolly the quiet one who finally found the end

22 and 23 the coordinates and romance

The planned ending they never gave a chance

Pre-Chorus

Baltar grinnin with Lucifer at his side

Count Iblis with the devil eyes

Sheba with a blaster and Cain on the Pegasus

Ridin back through Seraph light

Chorus

Ohhhh driftin through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost on Scavenger World with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Verse 3

You remember War of Eden Baltar's fleet attacks

Sheba shoots Apollo in the back

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

We got Cylon Apocalypse Ghost Squadron in stealth black

Starbuck solo books Origin Adama goin way back

And the ultimate high-dea Galactica meets itself

78 crew and 04 crew in one timeline crack

Bridge

Yeah Marvel couldn't use nothin after Lost Planet

So they made their own Kobol

Realm did Season 2 and Season 3 static

Dynamite gave us both continuities

Chrome cylons and skin jobs on the same hash pipe

Final Chorus

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

We're lost on the flip side of Kobol with two Vipers and three bars

Adama's dreamin Apollo's dyin Starbuck's always leavin

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

Light it up Viper rollin slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Light it up let the Tylium burn low

So say we all in slow-mo
