Silent Wings of Normandy

Under hangar lights, a silver dream is breathing Hull like midnight glass, waiting for the sky Circuits wake in blue, the command deck starts believing Somewhere past the relay, the dark is calling fly Fly... fly... Silent wings, open wide Born between old enemies, tuned for the dark Alliance blue and turian fire in an experimental heart Tantalus is humming low, heat folded into skin No one hears the engines when the silent watch begins CIC is burning with a galaxy of light Set a course through thunder, keep the target out of sight Every star's a warning, every moon a memory But your name on the hull is the first home we can see When the void has no horizon When the maps all fade to black You become the line we follow You become the way back Normandy, Normandy, carry us home Through the dark between stars, through the static and the stone Normandy, Normandy, wings made of flame Every lost horizon learns to answer to your name Silent in the void Louder than a war drum Normandy, Normandy, carry us home We watched the first light shatter over Alchera's ice A signal cut to silence, paid in fire and sacrifice Then a second heartbeat rose from ashes in the deep Bigger than the memory, too alive to sleep Different marks upon the hull, different ghosts inside But no emblem owns the road when the crew is still alive Drive core like a sunrise, armor like a vow You were more than metal then you are more than metal now When the pilot trusts the impossible When the engines answer clear You become the pulse beneath us You become the end of fear Normandy, Normandy, carry us home Through the dark between stars, through the static and the stone Normandy, Normandy, wings made of flame Every lost horizon learns to answer to your name Silent in the void Louder than a war drum Normandy, Normandy, carry us home If the stars go out, keep breathing If the gates fall cold, keep on If the night surrounds our beacon We will ride your hidden song From the airlock to engineering From the map to the mess-hall light Every scar across your plating Is a letter through the night No throne, no crown, no flag can hold you No shadowed hand can name your soul You are the road beneath the faithful You are the fire that makes us whole And when the galaxy is breaking And every system turns unknown We don't need a perfect ending We just need you carrying us home Normandy, Normandy, carry us home Through the dark between stars, through the static and the stone Normandy, Normandy, wings made of flame Every lost horizon learns to answer to your name Silent in the void Louder than a war drum Normandy, Normandy, carry us home Normandy, Normandy, carry us home When the galaxy is quiet And the engines fade to blue You'll still be flying in the songs we leave for you
