With heavy hearts, we lift up
their bodies to you, lords of kobol,
in the knowledge that you will take from
them their burdens
and give them life eternal.
We also pray that you look down
upon us now with mercy and with love,
just as you did upon our
forefathers many years ago.
Just as you led us from kobol
and found the 12 worlds,
so now we hope and pray
that you will lead us to a new home
where we may begin life anew.
So say we all.
So say we all.
So say we all.
So say we all.
-So say we all!
-So say we all!
-So say we all!
-So say we all!

That's what you're thinking,isn't it?
We're a long way from home.
We've jumped way beyond the
red line into uncharted space.
Limited supplies, limited fuel,
no allies, and now, no hope?
Maybe it would have been better
for us to have died quickly,
back on the colonies with our families,
instead of dying out here slowly,
in the emptiness of dark
