Untamed Paradise
(Verse 1)
It’s 3am.
The launch pad waits.
I’m bound for darkest Space.
I’m standing here
Beside the bed
Capturing each nuance of your face.
The Earth, it’s day’s are numbered.
And there’s but one thing left to do.
A team of men, and I, alone
Must blaze a trail of hope anew.
(Chorus)
There’s one last distant untamed Paradise.
And we must work it.
Responsibility’s Free Will’s Price,
And we won’t shirk it.
When the Earth disappears in my rear-view mirror.
and never come nearer.
What a good life it’s been.
You’re in my heart till the bitter end.
But I’ll never see you again.
(Verse 2)
Now, I’m strapped inside this one way rocket.
Got a lock of your hair in my pocket.
What’s the fate of a man
compared to a Mission for all Mankind?
So, dry your eyes, and, baby, say a prayer
and, oh, my darlin’, we’ll say goodbye!
We got one last chance – it’s this new horizon.
If we don’t pull it off, then ain’t no new Sun arisin’.
(Chorus)
There’s one last distant untamed Paradise.
And we must work it.
Responsibility’s Free Will’s Price,
And we won’t shirk it.
When the Earth disappears in my rear-view mirror.
and never come nearer.
What a good life it’s been.
You’re in my heart till the bitter end.
But I’ll never see you…
(Launch sequence)
The Force that’s ahold of this Human Race
It’s calling me there, in Outer Space.
The countdown’s on, they say, “All System’s are Go”
We’re free from Gravity’s force; the Earth is falling below!
If Space and Time would fold In Two, how fine
Will be reunion in some distant time.
I’ll see you again! Oh, babe, I’m hopin’, I’m wishin’!
My Love, oh, My Love!
This is my Last Transmission!
(Chorus)
There’s one last distant untamed Paradise.
And we must work it.
Responsibility’s Free Will’s Price,
And we won’t shirk it.
When the Earth disappears in my rear-view mirror.
and never come nearer.
What a good life it’s been.
You’re in my heart till the bitter end.
But I’ll never see you again.
