In nineteen and ninety-six we ventured to the moon
|
Onto the the Sea Of Crisis like children from the womb
|
We journeyed cross the great wall plain beneath the mountain range
|
And there we saw the pyramid, it looked so very strange
|
|
This beacon had a field of force, that circled all around
|
And not a man could get inside, no way could be found
|
It was here for thousands of years before our life began
|
Waiting very patiently for evolving man
|
|
When the galaxy was young they looked upon the earth
|
And saw that its position was promising for birth
|
They searched for life but finding none they left a beacon bright
|
Its signal had not been disturbed in the eternal light
|
|
How wise they were to choose this place, they knew when we arrived
|
That our atomic energy, we'd harnessed and survived
|
I look out on the milky way for people of the dawn
|
I know that they will come some day but will our wait be long?
|
|
In nineteen and ninety-six we ventured to the moon
|
Onto the the Sea Of Crisis like children from the womb
|
We journeyed cross the great wall plain beneath the mountain range
|
And there we saw the pyramid, it looked so very strange
