Once I had a body once I had a face
All that’s left are memories of lavender and lace
Almost I remember that smile upon your face
Almost I feel sunshine in the emptiness of space
I’ve traveled far
I sacrificed
Among the stars
Such a heavy price
I won’t forget the foe that brought me to this place
It fills my life with purpose this lavender and lace
I must defeat them before I can return
Cleanse them from the galaxy and watch their enclaves burn
Long ago arriving their arc-ships filled our sky
They gave us miracles and little reason why
A cure for cancer two hundred years of life
We welcomed their technology and did not see the knife
It happened quickly
The harvest ships arrived
Cocooning us for travel
Precious few survived
We formed resistance planning to survive
A thousand generation ships to the galaxy to hide
Hide out in the darkness far from any sun
Build weapon ships and warriors until our time has come
Ten thousand years have past
I fear that maybe I’m the last
I fear that maybe I’m the last
Once I had a body now I have no face
All that’s left are mushroom clouds of lavender and lace
Once I had a body once I had a face
All that’s left are memories of lavender and lace
