6. First Light

From the first gray light of the morning I've been gone

on my journey towards the stars

Will I know when I reach the other side?

The earth so blue it's like I'm dreaming

Now I'm on my way

Tainted shadows fall like rain

Through the dark vast weight only silence lingers on

The origin of existence lies somewhere far, far beyond

I feel unattached tranquility, a hand from the heavens guiding me

and wondering where this path will lead

In a dream I'm lost and floating through the atmosphere

Searching for significance against infinity, eternity

I've been taken by the vast and humbled by the weight of what I've seen

You know they called for heroes,

‘cause heroes carry on

I know the world is fading,

so from the first gray light of the morning I've been gone

Now I pray for a better life for all the ones I love

We search beyond our reach and turn our gaze above

I hope that it's the way to fill our basic needs

And my sacrifice not vain, and I'll return again

The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass

as I pass beyond the god of war

Distant voices hear them crying out

I must seek out new worlds and explore

And I know that there just must be a place

(We will carry on)

where our children can be free from the pain

(The human race)

It must be somewhere out in space

The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass

as I pass beyond the god of war

Distant voices hear them crying out

I must seek out new worlds and explore

And I know that there just must be a place

It must be somewhere out in space

(x2)

Silver moonbeams reflect the sun

Martian landscapes, worlds beyond

I touch down with no trace

No sign of life on this place

Now I feel a surge of energy

The deepest passion burns in me

Somewhere there is a world not left to die

The stars will shine their light down unto me (Illuminating)

The stars will shine their light and I will see

Will I find my way?

So back to the darkness I fly

in search of a hope in the sky

I should have known right from the start

I won’t return home

(The sun I know is growing smaller)

It seems so surreal as I go

(I drift for days on endless hours)

The knowledge of science alone

(I fall into the black abyss of night)

can't save all the people I know

(And what's there to fear now!)

that I've left behind

The sun I know is growing smaller

I drift for days on endless hours

No messages are getting through

I'm gone

The pioneering spirit charges the unknown

Accept the consequence of risk

I'm all alone here, don't know if I'll return

and the fate of life is on my heart

I left a dying world behind on my way

Oh, where is our oasis in the sky?

The future of our race

I left a poisoned world behind

Now I see there's no heaven bound oasis in the sky

Only dreams – dreams – dreams – dreams – dreams

I've got no destination

Helpless, I drift on

The weight of silence how it's eating at my soul

And yet I sense a stirring

Something so spiritual

I wonder if the fate of mankind

is in the hands of a higher power calling to us all

I left a dying world behind on my way

Only God can stop the spiral down to hell

The future of our race

I left a poisoned world behind

Now I see only heaven's the oasis in the sky

It's my dream
