Lyrics

v) A blink of the eye

Clinging to the spinning ball
Lassoed to the Sun and the stars
One small floating miracle
Lost amongst the echoes and shards 
Only here, only here for a moment

Far below the daily grind
The minerals are wrenched from the clay
And high above our tallest tower
The skin in the air fades away
Only here, only here for a moment
Only here, only here in the blink of an eye

Pouring all the waste and contempt
Into the earth, sky and sea
No point in conserving our strength,
as it ceases to be
Only here, only here for a moment

We’re the neighbours from Hell!
So why should we be welcomed on our way?
Devouring our heritage
No merit as we live for today
But we’re only here, only here for a moment
We’re only here, only here in the blink of an eye

vi) God Of Man

And from the Earth they came
Leaving all remains
Travelled far the outer borders
No thought of Universal mistake
In the tidal wake
All faith, still following orders

God of Man, here we come now
We’re falling through time and space 

On a wing and a prayer
Looking for some space to share
Any signs of life, food or shelter
An Eden to start up anew
Rebuild the black into blue
With some faith, no following orders 

God of Man, here we come now
We’re falling through time and space

vii) Black and blue

Cut through the atmosphere
Cloud breaks and the air is clear
Can we fly?
Oh watch me fly?

Blue turns into black
I feel the moment when I can’t turn back
As we fly!
Oh watch us fly!

Soon, we’ll be away from here
Locked upon a journey through the stratosphere

One small step from the ladder
And the World has changed
Frozen in a second of time
As it re-arranged...
...So we could fly
And how we fly!

Out here in the Galaxy
There will be a place for you and me

One small step on an even bigger ladder
Shocked into looking forward
And I can’t look back

High above our worries as we break away
Carrying the precious code of our DNA
Before we die and we all must die

Short and sweet is the life of Man
Castaways and voyagers on a caravan

viii) Upon returning  

Are we all a part of some great Universal plan?
The great escape of the monkey into Man?
Into Man?  (Into a man!)

Looking at the night sky shining far away,
I wonder whether we will ever get back there some day?
Some day? (Some day?)
