lyrics

Lifting off from earth
We’re flying towards the stars
Setting course for the great unknown
That’s waiting in the dark

I wish you could have gone with me
For lonely is the space
Outside your orbit I have nothing
I could embrace

Didn’t do it for you
Didn’t do it for me
Supposed to do it
For humankind to succeed
In the self-made war against
Our brothers down on earth

The pale moon levitating
In the empty space
Constantly falling ‘round the bastion
From where we’ve started our race
And while we’re out here
Being the heroes, we must be
We feel the triumph of our victory
Against the enemy

Exiting the lander
Setting foot on our trabant
To claim for our glorious nation
All the land that lies beyond

And as I look up to the stars
Around our mother earth above
My heart convulses as I beg to
Return to you my…

Didn’t do it for you
Didn’t do it for me
Tried to only think
Altruistically
Knowing well, we could lose our lives
For egoistic men

The pale moon levitating
In the empty space
Constantly falling ‘round the bastion
From where we’ve started our race
And while our allies
Celebrate our engineers
We send our rockets out
Towards new frontiers
