This Ship
[Verse 1] [Female Voice]"Robert," Hunter softly spoke, "I know this is hard to believe, but this isn't the same ship. These aren't the same people." [Male voice]"I saw the nameplate, Hunter," Stingray's head was in his hands. This was the same ship that had killed so many, destroyed so much. He couldn't believe that Hunter had brought him here. [Chorus] [Both Voices]This isn't the ship you knew, It's not the pain, it's something new. From the wreckage, from the dark, We rescue souls and mend the heart. [Verse 2] [Male voice]"That shuttle in the bay is the twin of the one that almost killed me... almost killed us. How many people have been killed by that shuttle? By this ship? How many people have been flushed out into space through the airlock?" [Female Voice]"YOU stopped that reign of terror. Years ago. That crew and that ship are gone." [Chorus] [Both Voices]This isn't the ship you knew, It's not the pain, it's something new. From the wreckage, from the dark, We rescue souls and mend the heart. [Verse 3] [Male Voice]"THIS is that ship." [Female Voice]"THIS ship was stolen and refit from the scrap yard. [Female Voice]THIS ship has been rescuing people since it hit the void. [Female Voice]THIS ship has been taking last chances to people, and plucking people from death's grip, [Female Voice]just like YOU did ME. [Chorus] [Both Voices]This isn't the ship you knew, It's not the pain, it's something new. From the wreckage, from the dark, We rescue souls and mend the heart. [Verse 4] [Female Voice]THIS SHIP will restore YOUR soul, [Female Voice]and help you finish making amends for whatever crime against humanity you thought you were paying penance for when you signed on with that rescue outfit." [Outro] [Male Voice]"You were the only one I ever saved," Stingray admitted quietly, "all the others were dead before we got there. Every time."
