'Oh, look how bright the stars now shine,
You must sleep tight sweet child of mine,
Now that the sun had set his last,
And one by one the stars will pass.'

The night is young my one true love,
While darkness sprung and rise above,
You must your heart now to succumb,
For him to part, the time has come.

'You speak of things I don't possess,
For as time swings my heart beats less,
To give away my flesh and bone?,
To let him stray in the unknown?.'

The gods forsaken this foul world,
As depths awakens the last chord.
The core's unsteady and will waste,
The vessel's ready, we must haste.

'You plunge a dagger in my chest,
As Krypton stagger to its rest,
You rip the soul out from my core,  
And leave a hole I cannot bore.'

The void you speak will fade away,
For in the wreak that comes this way,
We will be ash, and dust, and glow,
And in a flash our times will flow.

'Arise, and fly into the dark,
As life here dies you light a spark,
And as I cope with you apart,
I die with hope inside my heart.'

You must not grieve for him again,
For he will live among the men,
And though be raised as one as well,
He will be gazed, as god Kal’El.

'Oh, look how bright now Kandor burns,
You travel light, as life now turns,
Whatever odds might bring the tide,
I pray the gods your path to guide.'

Fear no harm for he will reach,
Time will charm and space will breach,
Through all your fears, Earth at last,
And all your tears would have passed.

'Alone and scared, my poor small child,'
Do not despair, he won’t grow wild.
'But… who will teach him to be kind?'
A way to reach, the Kent’s will find.
'And who will shield him from the harm?'
He will be healed by the red sun.
'That world he’ll run upon his flight?'
I hope it’s one that doesn’t fight.
'What if the vessel will not reach?'
The pod will wrestle and should breach.
'The fuel consumed, or engine torn?'
Than we have doomed our souls to mourn.
