Ashes of Kobol

Verse 1

Printed in '78 magazine size

Marvel Super Special number eight

Saga of a Star World before your eyes

Twenty three issues runnin' to '81

McKenzie writin' Simonson drawin'

Till the story was done

Pre-Chorus

Went cold then Maximum lit the spark

Rob Liefeld and Hatch reignite the dark

Chorus

Driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in a hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Verse 2

Commander Adama laid out from six to twelve

Dreamin' Kobol scriptures in a cosmic haze

Apollo took the chair through Maximum's days

Starbuck the space cowboy cigar still lit

Sold himself to save the fleet

Left behind on Scavenger World

Athena on comms Boomer in the trench

Jolly quiet one who found the end

Pre-Chorus

Twenty two and twenty three the coordinates

The ending they never showed on TV

Chorus

Driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in a hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Bridge

Yeah Marvel couldn't use nothin' after Lost Planet

So they made their own Kobol

Realm did their seasons three issues static

Dynamite keeps both continuities

Old chrome and skin job on the same hash pipe

Verse 3

War of Eden Baltar's fleet attacks

Sheba shoots Apollo in the back

Seraphs bring the Pegasus across

Adama dies in that cosmic wrack

Abnett came with Death of Apollo

Ten years out the war felt through

But a voice from the past a twist of fate

Drags Galactica back into the blue

Chorus

Driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in a hazy dream

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
