The Call

We had the liftoff during the war in 1944
I can still remember our journey to the heavens
Once and for all
This was my goal for many years
And I believed that nothing could go wrong
But back in mission control…
Oh, they knew…
Now I can see the flames on the outer surface
I’m paralyzed within
And I ask myself what can be done to fix it
Before it’s too late
This was my goal for many years
And I believed that nothing could go wrong
But back in mission control…
Oh, they knew…
That our hope was long gone
All action stations, all action stations
Evacuation starts in sixty seconds
The call into the dark
And all this I have gone just for the fame
So say we all
Engine failure in fuel supply
The call into the dark
We must be patient beyond the pain
The call
Explosion on board
EECOM is now gone
This ship is out of control
Please, pray for our safe return
All action stations, all action stations
Evacuation starts in sixty seconds
The call into the dark
And all this I have gone just for the fame
So say we all
Now I watch Earth against
The black and uninviting vacuum
We’re lost between Earth and the horizon
Across the light into the dark
…Into the dark
