Lyrics

Ten years in the training for today
Liftoff, outer space we come your way
Full thrust we’re leaving the atmosphere
Darkness surrounds us and stars appear

Now it’s time to show my worth
I’m the chosen one
On a starship far from earth
So much to be done
Destruction has come our way
The power from the stars
I’ll be forever astray
If I don’t go back

Wreckage orbiting the earth around
High speed, passing by without a sound
Blasting our ship down to pieces
Now I am drifting, death arises

Now it’s time to show my worth
I’m the chosen one
On a starship far from earth
So much to be done
Destruction has come our way
The power from the stars
I’ll be forever astray
If I don’t go back

Drifting out, floating in the vastness of space
Everything is silent, calm and quiet
The stars are bright, watching me, they don’t care about my fate
And planet Earth, below me, so close yet so far

Orbiting with me, a few miles away
An old capsule is rotting here, long forgotten
This is my last hope of getting back to the ground
Will it take me back to my loved ones?

Systems start
Ignition
Moving back
Crashing down

Now it’s time to show my worth
I’m the chosen one
On a starship far from earth
So much to be done
Destruction has come our way
The power from the stars
I’ll be forever astray
If I don’t go back
In an old abandoned pod
Heading back to Earth
Crashing down in the ocean
I survived
