Apologies for the long post, but i felt like telling a story...

The C D ROM loads,
Game starts, the excitement mounts,
The empire is born

The galaxy calls,
Near and far the stars glitter,
The people answer

Great vessels are built,
Immense energies are tamed,
The void calls us on

New planets are found,
The empire expands anew,
Great cities are built

New cultures we meet,
All strange, weird or distinguished,
Some friends, some not so

Violent threats emerge,
Soon new techs are developed,
Strength for strength we fight

Many battles lost,
Courageously we struggle,
The people suffer

Planets burn for days,
Our cities lost to vengeance,
We vow to fight on

Our fleets pushed back now,
The homeworld laid bare to all,
To soon they will come

To the Last we stay,
Making them fight for each step,
Our numbers soon drop

In orbit they sit,
Belching gobs of sinful fire,
Erasing the past

Only memories,
Our people long forgotten,
Bones lying in the sun
