We had the liftoff during the war in 1944
I can still remember our journey to the heavens
Once and for all

    
This was my goal for many years
And I believed that nothing could go wrong
But back in mission control
Oh, they knew

    
Now I can see the flames on the outer surface
I'm paralyzed within
And I ask myself what can be done to fix it
Before it's too late

    
This was my goal for many years
And I believed that nothing could go wrong
But back in mission control
Oh, they knew

    
That our hope was long gone

    
All action stations, all action stations
Evacuation starts in sixty seconds

    
The call into the dark
And all this I have done just for the fame
So say we all

    
Engine failure in fuel supply
The call into the dark
We must be patient beyond the pain

    
The call

    
Explosion on board
EECOM is now gone
This ship is out of control
Please, pray for our safe return

    
All action stations, all action stations
Evacuation starts in sixty seconds

    
The call into the dark
And all this I have done just for the fame
So say we all

    
Now I watch Earth against
The black and uninviting vacuum
We're lost between Earth and the horizon

    
Across the light into the dark
Into the dark
