Rise my brothers!
my sisters!
Defend the seas
of Mars.
The Kali-Mari
come from the
cold forever,
darkening our shores.

Armed with shadow's
bitter cold,
They thicken air
to ice--
Stealing wind and sea,
Striking down
those who oppose
compulsive sacrifice--

Kindle now the flame,
Summon now
the light held fast
in dreams--
Changeling souls ignite
the cold clay
of your being.
and claim plasmatic wings.

We leap into space,
pyres of
pure energy
and force--
shattering the dark
with heart's strength,
taking the battle
back toss its source.

Sea-born and star-born
warriors,
the unseen tides of
gravity--
call to another shore.
for Mars is dead
though we win
our victory--

Farewell dying world
we trade
a planet red for one
of blue--
Forsaking all things owned.
Your bitter seas
invite us
to begin anew--

The ancient power
is slipping
from our hearts and minds
Now we
will see if man
welcomes us
into his world or calls us
enemy--
