[Tenebrys]

All eyes were cast upward to the sky. The Scaffold -- the Moon herself -- was disintegrating into flame above them.

The world was coming to an end. Soon the fires would claim the planet as well. All that was left was to pray. And so they prayed.

"Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us."

"Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace."

And then, the skies themselves caught aflame. And there was peace.

[patotaku007]

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.

English:

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

No one is left. Everything’s gone... Kharak is burning.

Kharak is being consumed by a firestorm. The Scaffold has been destroyed. All orbital facilities destroyed. Significant debris ring in low Kharak orbit.

Receiving no communications form anywhere in the system... Not even beacons.

Homeworld... a game that is unsung in it's brilliance, depth, and story.

[TokyoHart]

This is fleet command... I can't detect any life signs from our pods....

[Morethanbobsonofbob]

This still brings a tear to my eye and lump in my throat everytime I return to Kharak and hear this. You here the emotion and shock in the narrators voice.......stunning use of music in the best RT game of all time.

@Nanomaru I didn't know that side of the story but one thing I've always pondered who are the taiidan and who are they to the Kushan how did they know each other

[Nanomaru]

@jaylex666 Depends if you played it as the Taiidan or the Kushan; I played it as the Taiidan; especially the Taiidan were originaly the race that was exiled, but alot of people used the Kushan and so Sierra just ran with it. Just look at the names of the Taiidan ships, they all have names of cretures from Karak, and then look at the similarities between our jet fighters to the Taiidani designs...much more alike than the Kushan ones.

@12RulAll This music is about the biblic apocalypse as it seems when you look at some comments here... but in Homeworld I understood it as a music telling about genocide... when a race almost completely dies and there is no hope anymore for surviving. This music is a unbelivable epic masterpiece.
