"It is the end of the 21st Century. I have returned to my own childhood. I remember it
|
all as the Dream Sequencer images mix with my own recollections. This is the day my
|
sister and I realised that we would never see the planet Earth."
|
|
[Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen]
|
|
Daddy where are you now
|
Forgot about your vow?
|
You promised you'd return and take me to Earth
|
|
Did you have to fight that war
|
What was it all for?
|
The honor of one's name, what is it worth?
|
|
I'm all alone - we're all alone
|
My future's unknown - our future's unknown
|
I reach out to the stars out here in my house on Mars
|
|
Mother did you hear me cry?
|
You never told me why
|
You put me in this world of rock and dust
|
|
No friends for playing games
|
No foes who scorn my name
|
Computerized machines of steel and rust
|
|
Is this my home? - this is our home
|
This desolate dome - this desolate dome
|
I call out to the stars: I'm alone in my house on Mars
|
|
I'll never smell the ocean breeze
|
I'll never climb the highest trees
|
I'll never feel the burning sun
|
I'll never meet my chosen one... in my house
|
|
Daddy I forgive you now
|
You could not keep your vow
|
You will never return, I'll never see Earth
|
|
My time has come - our time has come
|
I'm emotionally numb - emotionally numb
|
I'm headed for the stars, I'm leaving my house on Mars
|
No friends in my house on Mars
|
No foes in my house on Mars
|
I was born in my house on Mars
|
I will die in my house on Mars
|
