Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] We've left the earth in 1983 Fingers groping for the galaxies Reddened eyes stared up into the void A thousand stars to be exploited Somebody help me, I'm falling Somebody help me, I'm falling down [Pre-Chorus 1] Into sky, into earth Into sky, into earth [Chorus 1] It is so dark around, no life, no hope, no sound No chance of seeing home again [Instrumental] [Bridge 1] The universe is on fire, exploding without flame [Break] [Bridge 2] We are the lost ones; we are thе pioneers; we are the lost onеs We are the ones they're going to build a statue for Ten centuries ago or were going to fifteen forward [Instrumental] [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] Touch with my mind, I have no frame Touch with my mind, I have no frame [Chorus 2] I am now quite alone Part of a vacant time-zone Here floating in this aimless void [Break] [Bridge 3] No one knows where we are, though they can't feel us precisely [Break] [Verse 3] There is no fear here How could such a thing exist In this place where living and knowing And being have never been heard of? [Instrumental] [Break] [Verse 4] Doomed to wander 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 missing Somebody help me, I'm missing now [Bridge 4] Touch with my mind, I have no frame Touch with my mind, I have no frame Only dimly aware of existence A dimly existing awareness [Outro] I am the lost one, I am the one you fear, I am the lost one I am the one who crossed through space Or stayed where I was Or didn't exist in the first place
