lyrics

Intro
Jump complete,
Deactivate stasis pods,
Beginning descent,
Ready the drop troops,
Your orders are clear. The objectives are there,
Godspeed and prepare for planetfall.

Verse 1
A hundred twenty years in stasis hibernation.
My body rests, and my mind in combat simulations.
Out in the stars on a forced migration.
With the last survivors of our civilization.
Lost to an enemy that defies explanation.
Weary as we reach our seventh destination.
On a mission that demands my utmost dedication.
To a world that could finally be our salvation.

Primed and ready as I got in formation.
The drop bay doors open to our elation.
Orders to drop get their final confirmation.
Surrender to the influence of gravitation.

Freefalling in perfect coordination.
Weapons hot and ready in apprehension.
What awaits rules my imagination.
But triumph is my only motivation.

Chorus
Planetfall, is this the one? I haven't slept in so long. I want a bed to lie in.
Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't climbed a tree in so long. I want a shade to lie in.
Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't heard the sea in so long. Into her song I want to dive in.
Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't felt the ground in so long. I want some dirt to die in.

Verse 2
The atmosphere rings with an alien sensation,
Scanners indicate primitive habitations.
We brace ourselves for a confrontation,
As we close in on our target location.
Touching down on this unknown nation,
Finger on the trigger in anticipation.
But instead of hostility, a warm reception,
The natives offer their cooperation.

Kindness beyond our expectations,
Our initial view, a heavy miscalculation.
Forgot quarantine, a microbial infection,
Leading to their premature extinction.

Caution overshadowed by desperation,
Promise to remember their compassion.
Mourn their unintended destruction,
Honor their legacy, our lifelong devotion.

Chorus
Planetfall, is this the one? I haven't slept in so long. I want a bed to lie in.
Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't climbed a tree in so long. I want a shade to lie in.
Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't heard the sea in so long. Into her song I want to dive in.
Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't felt the ground in so long. I want some dirt to die in.
