Get Them Off The Island

Lyrics

Move! Move! Keep the line moving!
Engines roar overhead.

Smoke rolled black across the shore
The containment gates were holding no more
People running through the rain
Some alive and some changed
Children crying in the night
Dragons roaring overhead in fright
And through the panic, ash, and flame
One thought kept repeating in my brain

No time for grief… no time to fall…
If we stop now, we lose them all…

GET THEM OFF THE ISLAND!
Before the fire swallows everything!
Keep those engines running hot
Till every survivor’s gone!
No one gets left behind tonight!
Not while there’s breath left in my lungs!
Even if the whole world burns—
We’ll carry who we can!
So GET THEM OFF THE ISLAND!

Morphina held the wounded close
While Nyx slept unaware of ghosts
And somewhere through the smoke and screams
I searched for faces I might never see again
The ocean glowed beneath the ash
The aircraft shook against the blast
Yet still we loaded soul by soul
Trying to outrun the collapse below

The sky was falling piece by piece…
But I refused to leave them there…

GET THEM OFF THE ISLAND!
Before infection floods the sea!
Before the labs become their graves
And nothing’s left of memory!
Hold the line and don’t look back!
Keep the wounded close at hand!
Tonight we fight not to win—
But simply to save who we can!

I looked behind us through the smoke…
Sahara Tech disappeared in fire…
And somewhere in that dying glow…
A part of us stayed behind forever…

Runway lights fading…
Fuel burning low…
Still we rise…
Still we go…

GET THEM OFF THE ISLAND!
LET THE SKY HEAR US TONIGHT!
WE MAY NOT SAVE THE LAB—
BUT WE WILL SAVE THEIR LIVES!
And when tomorrow finally comes
And all that’s left are scars and ash
We’ll remember those we lost—
By helping the living last…
SO GET THEM OFF THE ISLAND!

The engines disappear into the night sky.
Below them, Sahara Tech burns.
