and that space cape of starlight

       F
Flying saucers, sky sharks,

    Dm              Bb            C
the Starblood Beast all could not compare

I know where I’m going to run

Straight into the heart so far

                Bb      C
Deep within the darkest star
[Verse 5]
F                Dm
Commander Walter loved her

        Bb                C7
But the ring, it came too late

F                             Dm
Decades flew by but she would cherish him

   Bb               C
No matter his final fate
[Chorus]
F                 Dm
Commander Walter, save him

Save him in your heart

There’s nothing left to save us,

        Bb              C
and the vice is what to blame

F                Dm
Commander Cosmo, save us

Bb               C7
Save us from the end

     F                                        Bb   C     F
What will we do when the cosmos quake and the gods above descend?
