[Verse] Static breaks the Galactica dawn A ship emerges from the black Pegasus cuts the silent sky A ghost no more She survived the attack [Verse 2] Cheers erupt, then falter fast When rank meets sharpened steel Two admirals, one battlefield And nothing left to feel Admiral Cain stands iron-cold Her justice hard and clean No past survives the war she won No room for what’s been seen [Chorus] Adama answers scar for scar With laws she won’t concede Two visions burn the same command But only one can lead Pegasus, blood and crowns Same war, different rule Power wears a human face And mercy’s called a fool [Verse 3] Two assassins, mirrored hands Launched into the dark But even gods can flinch sometimes Before they strike the mark [Verse 4] Too late for ghosts to turn around The dice already thrown Baltar breaks the prison lock And Six walks free alone [Pre-Chorus] Cain returns to quiet walls A shadow in her room Number Six lifts borrowed wrath And seals a metal tomb [Chorus] Pegasus sails without her crown The fleet resets its flame Adama wears the heavier stars And bears Cain’s final name
