The Young Man Lyrics

Hot solar flares and lightning bolts
Strike upon the basalt rock
Between the hills of terrae
And the burning rivers of maria

The fields of pyroclastic glass
In yellow, green and red
Greet him every morning as he cries

Madness is what's creeping inside his head
Emptiness is what's eating his heart away

The sands of time will flow
On the deserts of the moon
Our young man will forever be alone

Still no signs of a rescue ship
As another day goes by
The ECLSS at least allows him
To keep waiting and screaming

Whatever happened to his loyal friends?
Did they die or did they leave?
After all these years will they come back?

Madness is what's creeping inside his head
Emptiness is what's eating his heart away

The sands of time will flow
On the deserts of the moon
Our young man will forever be alone
