Andromeda Refrain (c) 2025 Citizen Regen
Verse 1
From the stars, they came, with hearts of gold,
A mission clear, a story to unfold.
Sent from Andromeda, to light our way,
To guide us through the darkest day.
With wisdom deep, and knowledge grand,
They offered peace, an open hand.
But we, in our pride, and endless fight,
Couldn’t see their gift, through blinded sight.
Chorus
Oh, Andromeda, hear our plea,
We’ve lost our way, can’t you see?
We tore ourselves apart, in vain,
Deep in the Andromeda Refrain.
Verse 2
We built our walls, we drew our lines,
In the race to be the first in their eyes.
Brother against brother, nation against nation,
All for a false salvation.
Their eyes grew dim, their hearts grew cold,
Seeing the ruin, our hearts behold.
Their dream for us, now a shattered mirror,
Reflecting the hate, the pain, the fear.
Chorus
Oh, Andromeda, hear our plea,
We’ve lost our way, can’t you see?
We tore ourselves apart, in vain,
Deep in the Andromeda Refrain.
Verse 3
Now the stars grow dim, their ships depart,
Leaving us with broken hearts.
We had the chance to change our fate,
But now it’s lost, it’s far too late.
Chorus
Oh, Andromeda, hear our plea,
We’ve lost our way, can’t you see?
We tore ourselves apart, in vain,
In the Andromeda Refrain.
Outro
In the silence, we remain,
Echoes of our endless pain.
A lesson learned, a truth to gain,
In the Andromeda Refrain.
In the Andromeda Refrain.
Andromeda's Reprise (c) 2025 Citizen Regen
Verse 1:
We travelled at the speed of light
To take them from their darkest night
Our only hope was to show them peace
And then we saw their war release
Pre Chorus:
All our dreams for a better life
Went up in their smoke and strife
Chorus:
Andromeda never to return again
We fear we have seen their end
Battles and struggles, was their way
And now we can no longer pray
For their survival
Verse 2:
Greed and corruption ruled the day
Destroyed good will in every way
Man may be the only kind
Who will ever leave themselves behind
Repeat Pre Chorus:
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
For their survival was doomed from the start
They never learned to have an open heart
Fear won over trust in the end
Creating an enemy not a friend
Verse 3:
We travelled at the speed of light
To take them from their darkest night
Our only hope was to show them peace
And then we saw their war release
Greed and corruption ruled the day
Destroyed good will in every way
Man may be the only kind
Who will ever leave themselves behind
