It's complicated

When she gives him her dog-tags
She'll come back for him

And see the constellations
That will lead them home

And self-proclaimed patriot
Also a Cylon

"Flight of the Phoenix"
More than just a ship
It's proof that we won't give up
It's an act of faith

And then more like a nightmare
