Leaving (Engines Down)
FAWM 3 of 14
Engines down
We are waiting
Buckles tight
O2 on
Check the dials
Note the numbers
Three two one
And we’re gone
Engines down
We are waiting
Buckles tight
O2 on
Check the dials
Note the numbers
Three two one
And we’re gone
Free at last
From the gantry
Ice and fire
Light the way
Gravity
Wants to
keep us
We won’t stay
No time to think
No time to pray
Think of tomorrow
Think of today
Today is only
passing time
And absent sol
It’s reason
without rhyme.
Out here
Out here
Out here
Out here
Thrusting out
Sounds of thunder
Watch our path
On the screen
Spirals of
Condensation
Drift away
So serene.
Silently
Passing over
Massive storms
Flashing blue
Whole yet torn
Feels like bleeding
Our last storms
But we knew
No time to think
No time to pray
Think of tomorrow
Think of today
Today is only
passing time
And absent sol
It’s reason
without rhyme.
Out here
Out here
Out here
Out here
Breaking past
Apo-ap-sis
Automation
Kicking in
Systems cycle
Navigate to
Constellations
never seen
Radio
in our headsets
Crackles on
Thanks us all.
Floating tears
Fog our helmets.
Luck to you,
End the call.
No time to think
No time to pray
Think of tomorrow
Think of today
Today is only
passing time
And absent sol
It’s reason
without rhyme.
Out here
Out here
Out here
Out here
