Verse 1:
My mind is set the hatch is locked,
a parting wave .. sees me off
My sturdy harness clamps me down
The brazen voice counts down from 10
a last deep breath .. I hold it dear,
vibrations start to shake my frame
Verse 2:
The racking noise hammers my ears
I lift my eyes .. and taste my fear
a giant gauntlet stamps me down
Stages separate in flames
I’m pushed out of the atmosphere
gravity has lost its clout
Verse 3:
My capsule’s pulled toward the earth
Re-entry wraps me tight in flames
Hell beyond the patch of glass
Chorus:
I’m floating in my high-tech cave,
which speeds along its curving lane
My home worlds’ tether is stretching thin
I feel it tugging at my grit
I’m taking in the callous void,
(speechless by the beauty)
my fragile empire’s hurtling ‘cross
(of my blue home)
Sealed in airtight, I’m preserved,
(spinning in space)
Removed - but close to my home world
(over my head)
