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
