lyrics

The first steps of humankind, a prime glance at what’s to come
Ascertain this is not impossible, and explore the unreachable

Overcoming the distance
Grasping what seems so far

Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why
How long before we hold this place?
Draw new lines on the celestial map
Some day these lands will be ours

Fathoming these stainless paths, assembling frail sheet metal
Drag us away from old Earth, and slash a way trough the uncharted

Overcoming the distance
Grasping what seemed so far

Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why
How long before we hold this place?
Draw new lines on the celestial map
Some day these lands will be ours

Tiny shreds of consciousness in the cosmic ocean
Remember the pioneers, forever sealed in our hearts
The lane has been paved by others before us
Clearing the scape for those who shall expand the trail

Fellow traveller exploring the skies
Secluded pathways orbiting our world
Astral empire designed in aether
Celestial spheres looming within reach

The cradle is way too narrow - Borderlines ought to be crossed
More awaits to be seen elsewhere - Remote shores calling are for harvest
Printed feet into stranger dust - Further havens to be called home
A bold flag floating into the void - The claim of stars has now begun

Overcoming the distance
Grasping what seemed so far

Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why
How long before we hold this place?
Draw new lines on the celestial map
Some day these lands will be ours
