Pioneers Over C |
| We left the earth in 1983, fingers groping for the galaxies, |
| reddened eyes stared up into the void, 1000 stars to be exploited |
| Somebody help me I’m falling, somebody help me, I’m falling down |
| Into sky, into earth, into sky, into earth … |
| It is so dark around, no life, no hope, no sound |
| no chance of seeing home again … |
| The universe is on fire, exploding without flame. |
| We are the lost ones; |
| we are the pioneers; |
| we are the lost ones |
| We are the ones they are going to build a statue for |
| ten centuries ago or were going to fifteen forward … |
| One Last brief whisper in our loved ones’ears |
| to reassure them and to pierce the fear |
| standing at controls then still unknown we told the world we were |
| about to go Somebody help me I’m missing, somebody help me I’m missing now |
| touch with my mind, I have no frame, |
| touch with my mind, I have no frame … |
| Well now where is the time and who the hell am I, |
| here floating in an aimless way? |
| No-one knows where we are, they can’t feel us precisely. |
| There is no fear here. |
| How can such a thing exist in a place where living and knowing |
| and being have never been heard of? |
| Doomed to vanish in the flickering light, |
| disappearing to a darker night, |
| doomed to vanish in a living death, living anti-matter, anti-breath |
| Somebody help me I’m losing, somebody help me, I’m losing now |
| people around, there’s no-one to touch, |
| no people around, no-one to touch. |
| I am now quite alone, part of a vacant time-zone, |
| here floating in the void, |
| only dimly aware of existence, a dimly existing awareness, |
| I am the lost one, I am the one you fear, I am the lost one, |
| I am the one who went up into space, or stayed where I was, |
| or didn’t exist in the first place … |
