Finity’s End is a far-trav’lin’ ship
and wide space is the deep that she knows.
Infinity’s black is the emblem she bears,
and never a mark it shows.
The stuff of dead suns is her iron and her steel;
in a nova's light she was made.
She set out to travel the day she was born
in the free-runnin’, longhaulin’ trade.
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
And no star can own her and no world’s her own,
for Finity’s End is she.
The Company thought that they’d make them a law,
and have all the ships for their own.
“You’re all Company ships now and Company crews.
You’ll pay us and serve us alone.”
James Robert the First was her captain that day,
and he sent to all ships in the Deep:
“Farewell to their ports and good luck to them all,
for what they can’t catch they can’t keep.”
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
And no star can own her and no world’s her own,
for Finity’s End is she.
And wonder to tell, Mother Earth changed her mind,
and called back her magistrates too,
for no ship would haul beyond Alpha or Pell.
So no mail and no cargo got through.
Then Unionside came with their ships and their guns
and closed up the ports one and all.
“You’ll all haul for us,” then the Union men said,
“And you’ll come and you’ll go where we call.”
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
And no star can own her and no world’s her own,
for Finity’s End is she.
Now Captain James Robert was vexed and annoyed,
so he sent out the word like before:
“We’re free ships and crews and we go where we please,
and we’ll haul you to hell and no more.”
Then Unionside haulers like Candice and Fay,
Merry Gold, Carina, and Fame,
From Unionside ports reached the wide deep of space,
and to Finity’s End they all came.
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
And no star can own her and no world’s her own,
for Finity’s End is she.
“Ah, well, now,” said Earth, “you must come to our side,
for there is no place else you can be.
But Captain James Robert still sent out the word,
that all ships from now on must be free.
So no ship would come and no true ship would go,
but the traitor Shalleen and her kind.
Shalleen drifts in pieces around Shalleen Point,
and never a rest will she find.
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
And no star can own her and no world’s her own,
for Finity’s End is she.
The treaty was signed then and sealed and made sure,
for ports to be open to trade;
and borders be none to withhold us or bind.
No law on our decks but the law we have made.
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
And no star can own her and no world’s her own,
for Finity’s End is she.
