Synchronicity

Another Galactica Morning
Klaxxons screaming through the halls
We have to shout above the din of our food rations
Can't hear anything at all.
The Colonel chants his litany of battles and frustrations
But we know all his tactics are not fake.
Adama only stares into the distance.
There's only so much more that he can take.
Many moons away, something crawls into space
From the last, of the human race.

Another Cylon attack has started.
The viper pilots blast their way through the sky
Adama walks unhindered through the bridge stations today
He always thinks to wonder why.
The workers pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light scene
The Colonel acts on instincts for the watch.
And every single meeting, with the so called enemy
Comes a humiliating loss of life.
Many stars away, there's a light on the planet
On the one, known as Earth.

Another journey day has ended.
Only the mess hall lines to face.
Packed like lemmings in the battle metal halls
Contestants too weary for a brawl.
Adama grips the railing and stares alone into the distance,
He know that something somewhere has to break.
He knows the Milky Way is glowing in the distance
The pain of wait that make his eyeballs ache.
Many stars away, there's a goal for him to reach
For the last of the humans
To call their home.
