Our Mission's to explore,
To seek out strange new worlds,new life,
To go where we have never gone,and meet the people there.
We voyage in the name of peace.We celebrate all life.
Diversity combined: it's the refrain that guildes our quest.
For different voices,even those that frighten us at first
Can join ours in harmonies we never could have dreamed;
Just as our voices all combine to sing the Song of Life
A whole that's greater than the sum,a chord of destiny.
I understand your fear- your dread of losing all you have,
That dread is known to us, more so than you could ever dream.
Like you today,we faced the end of our entire world.
We could have bowed to panic,helped to tear that world apart.
Instead,we let our fear inspire us all to stand as one.
To join in greater chorus,even with our enemies,
And sing a louder,richer song than any could alone
A harmony that won out over chaos and discord,
Resolved the darkest movement in our cosmic symphony.
And let us start anew,transposd into a brighter key.
Still,there is loss,I know.My grief will be an overtone
In every joyous song to come.For they'll be incomplete.
They'll lack a certian voice that I will never hear...
In all my songs thereafter,Void has sung one of the parts.
But Void must not be the loudest singer in the song.
We act in fear because we wish to change the course of Fate.
Believing we can stop the surge of oceans if we try.
But if we swim against the Song's inexorable flow,
We may just smash ourselves upon the shores of death and pain,
Destroyed by our misguided fight against that very doom.
There is no shame in fear,unless we let it make us deaf.
We've all known fear and loss; we need to heed each other's song
And add the voice the other lacks,fill in the aching void...
Not swim alone in fear until we lose our very selves.
Together,we can bring the song back into harmony.
Only together will we be able to start this new chapter in life.
Only together will this dream turn in to reality.
Only together will we bring the 12th Fleet to Greatness!!
It is one for all and all for one.
In Valhalla,
That is 12th Fleet,
Home of the best in STO.
To seek out strange new worlds,new life,
To go where we have never gone,and meet the people there.
We voyage in the name of peace.We celebrate all life.
