Carefully, carefully each piece is fitted for unearthly pressures and strange atmospheres
Charting and planning this voyage to never return
Checking the hatches we make every effort to preserve the pressure and seal in the air
Counting in sequence; the boosters beginning to burn
Here at the dawn with our chins lifted high
To the moon and beyond
Further out
Tipping our hats to the friends standing by
We are already gone
Further out
Into the ink of a fathomless evening these fires will drive us a lifetime from here
Guided by only a dream and the things that we made
Gravity tied to our ankles could not stop the breaking at last as the world disappears
Weightless, and empty we dance on the edge of this blade
Limits were set for the innocent sky
But we never belonged
On the ground
Dangerous business captured our eye
From the mysteries held
Further out
Look for our light when the clouds have all cleared
Out with the stars on the galaxy floor
Reaching for what is not offered down here
Breaching the distance, persistent for more
