[Slingshot Through the Dark] [ Verse 1 ] I hit the slingshot orbit just to prove the math was right, But colors swirled in chaos till they swallowed up the light. I tumbled through a tunnel where the stars began to bleed, And woke inside a war zone at a terrifying speed. [ Pre-Chorus 1 ] The compass spin is broken now, There is no map to show me how. [ Chorus 1 ] I’m drifting in a sea of stars I never thought I’d see, The person that I used to be is slipping far from me. When every road is leading to a dark and distant place, I’m looking for a reason in an unfamiliar face. [ Verse 2 ] The living walls of Moya pulse with rhythms deep and slow, Aeryn keeps her distance while we’ve nowhere left to go. And D’Argo grips his heavy blade while I hold all I knew, A tattered I-A-S-A patch, a faded scrap of blue. [ Pre-Chorus 2 ] The silence of the void is loud, Beneath a cold and heavy cloud. [ Chorus 2 ] You find a kind of courage when you’ve lost the way back home, You learn you’re not a desert just because you walk alone. The wreckage of a lifetime builds a floor for something new, The only truth worth keeping is the one I find in you. [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Interlude] [ Bridge 1 ] Aurora Chair is screaming as it tears into my head, While Harvey sits beside me, dressed in white and full of dread. While Scorpius is digging for the secrets in the bone, I squeeze the grip of Winona to know I’m not alone. [ Verse 3 ] A chip is burning in my mind, a heavy ghost of lead, A shadow in the hallway and a voice inside my bed. I’m losing where the dream begins and where the metal ends, Still forging harder armor with the blood of broken friends. [ Pre-Chorus 3 ] The pressure starts to crack the glass, Watching all the seasons pass. [ Chorus 3 ] We’re fighting for a future that we might not even see, Breaking every chain until our spirits can be free. It doesn't matter where we are or where we’re meant to be, As long as you are standing in the wreckage next to me. [ Bridge 2 ] I’m standing on the carrier with a trigger in my hand, To draw a line of fire through the starlight and the sand. I’ll burn the whole horizon just to keep the monsters back, And find my way to morning through the deep and endless black. [ Verse 4 ] The wormhole weapon waits behind a door I’ll never close, And Aeryn holds my hand against the coming of the snows. We’re castaways and criminals, we’re outcasts in the dark, Lighting up the universe with just one single spark. [ Pre-Chorus 4 ] Now the stars are looking clear, I have found a way past fear. [ Final Chorus ] There is no point in searching for the world we left behind, The only home that matters is the one that we can find. Locked inside the struggle and the family that we choose, Love is all we’ve gained when there is nothing left to lose. [ Outro ] Just drifting through the deep, With promises to keep. My brothers in the fight, Lost out across the light.
