Verse 1

Twelve colonies burning behind us

Ash on the glass of the viewport

I count the hulls that are missing

Then I count them once more

No one says what we all know

The tally keeps falling short

Machines wore our faces

And smiled while they tore us apart

Pre-Chorus

So we run

We just run

Past the grave of the sun

Chorus

Find me a world that still turns

Find me a sky that still burns

Cold vacuum hums in my ear

Cold vacuum hums in my ear

Find me a place we can land

Find me the strength of your hand

Every jump is a prayer

Every jump is a prayer

Verse 2

Old man drinks and he curses

Says the admiral lost his mind

I salute him anyway

Cause I've seen what waits behind

They look like us

They talk like us

They learn and they lie like us

So I sleep with my rifle close

And I dream of a river

Pre-Chorus

And we run

Yeah we run

Toward a distant sun

Chorus

Find me a world that still turns

Find me a sky that still burns

Cold vacuum hums in my ear

Cold vacuum hums in my ear

Find me a place we can land

Find me the strength of your hand

Every jump is a prayer

Every jump is a prayer

Bridge

I am not a hero

I am not a god

I am tired and I am hollow

And I am not a god

Just a pilot

Just a daughter

Just a rumor

Chasing after

Every jump is a prayer

Verse 3

The duduk moans through the cargo bay

Somebody's singing in a tongue I don't know

Twenty thousand souls in the dark

And nowhere left to go

A woman counts her children twice

Then a third time just to be sure

The deck plates shiver underfoot

Like the ship remembers before

Pre-Chorus

So we drift

We just drift

While the long night starts to lift

Chorus

Give me a star I can name

Give me a fire and a frame

Hold the line till the dawn

Hold the line till the dawn

Give me a hand I can hold

Give me a story that's old

We're the last of our kind

We're the last of our kind

Verse 4

The old mechanic patched the hull with tape

And a prayer his mother used to say

He said son don't trust a smiling face

That's how the whole thing got this way

So we bury what we cannot carry

And we carry what we cannot leave

A photograph a broken watch

And a flag we still believe

Pre-Chorus

And we burn

Yeah we burn

Every bridge we can't return

Chorus

Give me a star I can name

Give me a fire and a frame

Hold the line till the dawn

Hold the line till the dawn

Give me a hand I can hold

Give me a story that's old

We're the last of our kind

We're the last of our kind

Bridge

They came down from the sky

With a gospel and a knife

Said your god was never listening

So we made ourselves a life

Out of rust out of wire

Out of everything they burned

And I will not kneel again

I have finally learned

Verse 5

Somebody laughed in the mess hall today

First time in a hundred days

It wasn't funny it wasn't kind

But it rang through the gray

So I'll take the watch and I'll take the cold

And I'll take the rationed air

Cause a laugh is a kind of a map

That says somebody's still there

Pre-Chorus

And we run

Still we run

Till the wandering is done

Final Chorus

Find me a world that still turns

Find me a sky that still burns

Cold vacuum hums in my ear

Cold vacuum hums in my ear

Give me a hand I can hold

Give me a story that's old

Every jump is a prayer

Every jump is a prayer

We're the last of our kind

We're the last of our kind
