Left on Mars

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Marko Hietala] There was a child climbing a hill on a winter's night Face up to space above and taken by the sight Time slowed down under the blessing of the skies Of dying stars and their billion years of light Billion years of light [Verse 2: Tarja, Marko Hietala & Tarja] I flew across the void of space in a waking dream Astride a fusion flame I'm finally redeemed To find the wonders that transcend the bounds of time To hear the heavens sing and reach the other side [Chorus: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja, Tarja] Do you know (Do you know?) That my heart still holds the rage, no And I'vе turned page after pagе I never chose (Never chose) to be an Alien, no I'm just looking for a home (I'm just looking for a home) I'm just looking for a home I know I'm better left on Mars [Verse 3: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja] I see the star that gave us life in the rusted sky The hills turn crimson as I take your hand in mine I always thought this place was safe, and I was wrong You chose to cross the void for me I was made strong [Chorus: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja] Do you know (Do you know?) That my Heart still holds the rage, no And I've turned page after page I never chose (Never chose) to be an Alien, no I'm just looking for a home I know I'm better left on Mars [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja, Tarja] Do you know (Do you know?) That my Heart still holds the rage, no And I've turned page after page I never chose (Never chose) to be an Alien, no I'm just looking for a home I think you know (Do you know?) That my Heart still holds the rage, no But you still believe in me And I choose (And I choose) the mercy of your Heart I'm just looking for a home (I'm just looking for a home) There together we'll find home [Outro: Marko Hietala & Tarja] Alone together, left on Mars
