Speed to Burn Lyrics

When man first looked up at night
To the stars in the sky
Seeing small points of light
He stared and wondered
Now we stand on the brink
To make real what we think
To reach the farthest star
From this chair I command
With this control in my hand
As the steam begins to pour
And this machine begins to roar

Blasting skyward on this rocket
Gravity twisting my face
Straining metal screams in twisted torment
As we fly up into space
Through the clouds into the heavens
Right where angels fear to tread
Light distorting the ground reporting
Instruments all reading red

Heading straight for it
The edge of disaster
Where no one has ever gone
Speed to burn
Adrenaline racing my heart beating faster
Heading straight for the sun

Speed to burn - Taking me higher

To reach this distant destination
Where no one has ever gone before
Crossing the cosmos
And warping dimensions
As to pass right through a door

Peak of velocity out of control
Plummeting into the breach - Speed to burn
Birth of creation is our destination
No longer beyond our reach - Speed to burn

Repeat Chorus

Decelerating the hull vibrating
As we land on the ground
Intimidating what is awaiting

This new world that we have found

All these light years now forgotten
Like memories from a distant past
Bridges burning there's no returning
Nothing feels like moving fast

Repeat Chorus
