Deserts of Mars

Lyrics

On the tenth of June we landed here on Mars And we looked up through the dust clouds to the stars All around us lay a plain of burning sand And a bitter wind flew out across the land Not a single ghost was there to tell the past Not a single lonely blade of desert grass This is how it really feels to be alone Only fifty million miles away from home I have flown here through the silences of space And I dared to set my foot upon this place On the desert lies the shadow of a man But the wind has blown his footprints from the sand In the Martian night two moons rise in the sky And the winter cold is deeper than a sigh And the mountains here were bare since time began And they make me feel ashamed of what I am I have flown here through the silences of space And I dared to set my foot upon this place On the desert lies the shadow of a man But the wind has blown his footprints from the sand I have flown here through the silences of space And I dared to set my foot upon this place On the desert lies the shadow of a man But the wind has blown his footprints from the sand
