Deep in Sing Laison at a far flung station
I fell in love with a Gallentean girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's casino
Music would play and Sabrina would twirl.

Blacker than night were the eyes of Sabrina
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Gallentean maiden
I was in love but in vain, I could tell.

One night a wild young stranger came in; his eyes held a fire that glowed.
Dashing and daring - A drink he was sharing - With wicked Sabrina - The girl that I loved.

So in anger I challenged his love for this maiden.
Down went my hand for the gun that I wore.
My challenge was answered and in less than a heart-beat;
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

Just for a moment I stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done.
My mind was stunned by my own crazed violence
I had but one chance and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
To where the ships were all docked.
I boarded a good one; It looked like it could run.
I swiftly undocked and away I then warped.

Speeding as fast as I could from that far flung station
I hid in the bad-lands near Kador Prime.
My life will be worthless back in Sing Laison
My future was ended from the day of my crime.

It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love has grown stronger than my fear of death.
Setting course for the station I‘lI return to Sing Laison
Flying alone in the dark; tonight nothing's darker than this pain in my heart.

At last I’ve returned to that far flung station;
I can see Rosa's casino and the welcoming glow.
My love is so strong and it pushes me onward.
Heading to dock; To Sabrina I go.

Off to my right I see five ruthless pirates; While off to my left there's a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me; I have to make it to Rosa's back door.

Something is wrong for I feel a deep burning
As I head for the dock there’s a pain in my side.
Unable to fly and so tired of this running.
I am fighting the darkness and the numbness inside.

But my love for Sabrina helps me rise where I've fallen,
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
I’m nearly in dock but here comes a missile.
I then feel the heat go deep in my breast.

I’ve made it to dock, the ship now lies torn and battered
Blood gushes forth from the hole in my chest
My dreams are all broken and shattered
I know I have failed her when put to the test

From out of nowhere Sabrina has found me, Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for; One kiss from Sabrina and a whispered .. good-bye.

  A truly tragic tale and a timely reminder to all whose affections wander to mucky gallentean women
