Thank You Hello Games

Thank You Hello Games

(Lyrics by Mr.SicknSinister)

Ten full years beneath these stars
From first launch into endless lights
A dream born out in the dark
Hello Games you have lit a spark
Now that flame lives in our hearts

In the beginning when only few believed
Just a tiny team chased endless dreams
Project Skyscraper on four small screens
Building us endless galaxies
Refusing to say goodbye
When the flooding came
You stood strong in the face of loss and pain
You created stars even through the strain
Foundation gave the lost a place
To build a home in an endless space
Travellers scattered throughout the dark
In what began as a dreadful start
Atlas Rising brought something new
And turned it into believing hearts

You kept building through the years
Through the doubts and through the fears
Every update, Made the universe remain
And somewhere out beyond the night
Strangers gathered in the light
More than players passing through
We all became a family too

We found our homes among the stars
Because you kept your reach out far
Hello Games, you're changing lives
With travellers coming by in strides
From lonely signals in the dark
To beacon fires across the arc
You gave us more than worlds to see
You gave us new belief in humanity
Through every memory and friend we made
Your starlight in us never fades
And every traveller here tonight
Carries a small part of that light

Atlas Rises changed the skies
NEXT brought travellers side by side
Beyond turned stars into gathering grounds
Where friendships formed the whole world round
Origins gave us wonders breath
Worlds reborn took us beyond the edge
Frontiers built new lives to grow
Across the endless cosmic glow
From Pioneers to Relics flown
Every new expedition has shown
The universe is ever living
Because you never stopped giving
Omega, Adrift, and all the rest

Each new journey is stronger yet
Every patch becomes a sign
That the dream is still alive

Ten million creatures found in a day
Millions of players have come to stay
A universe far too vast for charts
Has somehow connected so many hearts
Five hundred billion years could fade away
And still new worlds would await their name
Yet through it all one thing remained true
You have kept giving us all something new

We found a home here among the stars
Because you kept on reaching so far
Ten long years of dreams and drive
Keeping all of our wonders alive
Every expedition, update and patch
You change our lives without a catch
From the Project Skyscraper dream
To Worlds beyond what eyes have seen
To every traveller far and near
Hello Games has given ten great years

So from the AGT we say
To Hello Games on this day
Thank you for the roads we’ve crossed
For every traveller, no longer lost
For every beacon in the dark
For every dream that found its mark
We are thanking you, for turning distant stars above
Into this universe we came to love
