Outer Reaches

Journey to the outer reaches, far beyond the stars we fly
A million miles a second, surpass the speed of light
In a single instant, leave the galaxy behind
Activate the hyperdrive and go faster than time
So far out into the void
Past the unknown
Out here alone
And further still
Off the edge of space
Piercing the folds of time
What’s on the other side
Of the black hole?
We go in desperation out into the dark
To leave behind our dying Earth
Science brought us ruin, science brought us death
And now, our starship brings rebirth
Journey through the cosmos
A voyage so far
Distant and unknown
Who knows where we are?
Beyond the outer reaches of space and time
Beyond the outer reaches, what lies?
Journey through the cosmos
A voyage so far
Distant and unknown
Who knows where we are?
Beyond the outer reaches of space and time
Beyond the outer reaches, what lies?
Down into the black hole
Through the event horizon
Where no one has tried
Our atoms rearranged
As we cross the other side
Beyond the outer reaches, is there no life?
Beyond the outer reaches we fly
And die
