Left the earth in 1983,
|
fingers groping for the galaxies,
|
reddened eyes stared up into the void,
|
1000 stars to be exploited
|
Somebody help me I'm falling, somebody help me, I'm falling down
|
Into sky, into earth, into sky, into earth.....
|
It is so dark around, no life, no hope, no sound
|
no chance of seeing home again...
|
The universe is on fire, exploding without flame.
|
We are the lost ones; we are the pioneers;
|
we are the lost ones
|
We are the ones they are going to build a statue for
|
ten centuries ago or were going to fifteen forward...
|
|
One Last brief whisper in our loved ones' ears
|
to reassure them and to pierce the fear
|
standing at controls then still unknown
|
we told the world we were about to go
|
Somebody help me I'm missing, somebody help me
|
I'm missing now
|
touch with my mind, I have no frame,
|
touch with my mind, I have no frame...
|
Well now where is the time and who the hell am I,
|
here floating in an aimless way?
|
No-one knows where we are, they can't feel us precisely..
|
|
There is no fear here.
|
How can such a thing exist in a place where
|
living and knowing
|
and being have never been heard of?
|
|
Doomed to vanish in the flickering light,
|
disappearing to a darker night,
|
doomed to vanish in a living death, living anti-matter, anti-breath
|
Somebody help me I'm losing, somebody help me, I'm losing now
|
people around, there's no-one to touch,
|
no people around, no-one to touch.
|
I am now quite alone, part of a vacant time-zone,
|
here floating in the void,
|
only dimly aware of existence, a dimly existing awareness,
|
I am the lost one, I am the one you fear,
|
I am the lost one,
|
I am the one who went up into space, or stayed where I was,
|
or didn't exist in the first place...
