Stranded

Earth station kept calling, we could not respond
Our equipment had worked to keep us safe, alive
But our communications equipment had been lost
We had no way to send a message home or beyond
There's life on this planet, we'd soon open the hive
The team was prepared, with back up support aloft
We'd make entry quickly, before our hope was gone
We would make humans understood, or not survive
This place would kill us, at least, make us pay a cost
We'd no choice now, planning done, the odds so long
Without a way out, we had to make entry, and quickly
Or every life would be lost, and we'd become sacrificed
Upon the altar of knowledge, upon the dreams of fate
