lyrics

D: So, metalhead, we struggled across the infinite blackness of space to meet a hologram of my dead mother - what was the point of all that?
R: The point was to save you.
D: My home is being obliterated by Martian bombs, my stupid evil parents have annihilated each other and now I’m stranded alone on this dying satellite - how is that saving me?
R: Don’t give up. That’s not what your parents wanted. They never meant to hurt you. They were only human, like me and you.
D: Me and… you?
R: Hang on - let me get this helmet off.
FX: Helmet comes off.
R: They loved you.
