Albatross

We ran

Into the sky

On silver birds

We built to fly

And We

So very few

Left it behind

For something new

On the world

We knew as home

The fires burned

And water rose

Foolish man

Made dust of sand

Oh Albatross

We fell

Out of the stars

On Martian soil

We tilled our hearts

Four hundred moons

We lived as one

Until Earth's men

Put out the sun

On the world

We knew as home

The fires burned

And water rose

Foolish man

Made dust of sand

Oh Albatross

Waiting out the coldest days on Mars...
