lyrics

the sky so dark and primed to paint with fire
the stars blink back in time with dials and wires
a checklist met and systems set to go
in a single flash I left it all below

but I lie down now on unfamiliar shores
with a fate that’s mine, but focusing on yours

tell the children, "father sends his love"
and to think of me whenever they look above
don't I know you’ll do the best you can, Dawn
I’ll be watching over from beyond

the great unknown, it's beckoned me to stay
and that endless night gives way to endless day

Dawn go on, go on
just think how far I’ve come
ever closer to the sun as wings unfold
to take me home

energy, it flows from me to you
no, it just can’t stop, it has to follow through
and space and time, they intertwine beyond
will the soul remain after a shell is gone?

and I lie down now on unfamiliar shores
with a fate that’s mine but focusing on yours

oh Dawn go on, go on
just think how far I've come
ever closer to the sun as wings unfold
to take me home

we walked among the gods in the eyes of everyone
the furthest from my mind was what I would become
like waves of amber brown, out on Martian shores we touched down
no future's set in stone
I won’t be home

can you feel my nuclear pulse?
it's growing louder with every thrust

Dawn, I was so wrong
in my heart is where I long
Oh, Dawn, I was so wrong
to the stars is where I’ve gone

we walked among the gods in the eyes of everyone
the furthest from my mind was what I would become
through all the time and space
out on Martian shores, I swear I saw your face
