Adrasteia Lyrics

Finally the found her back in 2903
A drifting capsule far across the galaxy
Of all the things she could've been it had to be this way
A lone survivor until her dying day

Adrasteia, the quest never died in your heart
Your fearless heart
Had always belonged to the stars

She could have chosen any field
In which to leave her mark
But signed up for a mission
That soared into the dark
A lifelong odyssey that took their vessel far
Captured the last moments of a dying
Massive star

Adrasteia, hope never left your heart
Your fearless heart, true to the end
As it was true from the start

On their return the mothership was destroyed
A piece of cosmic debris
Leapt out of the void
A shattering explosion
That no one could survive
She barely made it to the lifeboat alive

In total isolation
Drifting deeper into space
They lost communication
But she carried on in case
The writing, art and poetry
That one day would enthrall
A beacon for humanity
Of grace and hope for all

Adrasteia, gifted child
With the world at your feet
The world you left
Without adventure your life was incomplete
