The Intergalatic Dream of Stardom Lyrics

Breathing in silence
Watching the lights change
Awaiting the countdown
Quiet before the storm
Imagine what it takes to turn this monster on

The ground is shaking
A sudden wake-up call
I'm trapped inside here heading for a fall
I think of loved ones
The living and the dead
A million thoughts keep running through my head

Up in the sky now
I can't look down
I feel like burning up to this hell-raising sound
A forceful farewell
A careful hello
To the life of tomorrow
Other worlds yet unknown

Credentials and prowess once paved my way for this odyssey
The catalyst of fiction to actuality

"Breaking through the stratosphere
Tremors might occur
Hold on to your heart and soul
You've got to stay in control"

High expectations relate to the grandeur of outer space
It may hold the secret to update the human race

There's a reason
There's a reason for your attempts
All the good things you've done trying to make amends
Dig much deeper
As you're travelling through the dark
In a rocket-fuelled capsule to stardom

Weightless in motion, I'm dying to master the exercise
Alone in the dark I'm beginning to fantasise
Of uncharted planets, civilisations, biology
A far more progressive and faultless technology

There's a reason
There's a reason for your attempts
All the good things you've done trying to make amends
Go much further
You're still wondering in the dark
An enlightening journey to stardom

Touching down, I hold my breath
Doors about to reveal what's outside
The promised land or sudden death?

Restless mind allured to find its true identity
Wasted years evoking tears as I face reality

It's so cold and lonely
An achromatic site
Unsuitable for human interplay
Life was so good, so why
Seek to rectify

Ease your mind, I've redesigned
No longer in pursuit
All this time my only crime
Was to leave in solitude

Off the ground now
Heading back home
It's time to settle down in my domestic dome
No more illusions
I'll strive to get high
With my feet on the Earth as I look to the sky

The ground is shaking
A sudden wake-up call
I'm trapped inside here heading for a fall
I think of loved ones
The living and the dead
A million thoughts keep running through my head...
