(Living in the) Slipstream

(tune: "Limelight" by Rush)

Bringing back the Commonwealth
After three hundred years
A dream that quite appears
To be beyond reality
In distant future times

Cast in this unlikely role,
A rag-tag mismatched crew
Not like the one I knew
The only ones to help me in
This dream I must pursue

Flying in the slipstream
Beyond the speed of light
To do the thing that's right

To end the longest night
Must visit all the alien races
Going to the strangest places
And high-speed chases
With angry Nietzscheans

Living on a High Guard ship
With a beautiful AI
Constructed by a guy
Who answers every inquiry
With a sarcastic quip

All the worlds have been estranged
And we will unify them
Attempt to re-ally them
Re-unite six galaxies
The Systems Commonwealth
