Seeing Stars
From the darkness of my hiding place,
I climb the steps up to the gallery.
The stars appear to offer sanctuary
Although I know I'll never understand the reasons why.
Seeing stars.
The people here have sparkling eyes and smiles
Machines are twinkling "thanks for caring".
Could they ever start to understand the life that we
Below are made to bear.
Seeing stars
I've often heard about the stars at home
Perhaps this flight can take me closer
The stars begin to stretch
And I'm speeding on through space
So many years I've wasted
Rat inside this race

Mission 14
Oh Captain of mine
Don't you feel no pain.
After seventeen years
Must we do it again.
Miss that old
Planet Earth,
It won't seem the same.
Oh planet down there
I've been watching you.
Watching all the people
And everything they do.
Seems to me I want to see
My world start anew.
Oh Captian of mine
How will I see this through?
This mission of ours
Is hard for me to do.
Can't you see that's home to me.
They're not so bad.
But we must journey on.
This mission must be done.
Moving closer every hour,
Now running at full power.
Down and down and down we go,
Soaring in a brilliant glow
Let's get it over now.
Desolation, Radiation
I used the smallest bomb I had.
Destroyed them all, 'cos I was told
They were just a waste of time.
They serve no need, they were a dying breed
A demonstration of my power.
Pulling away, time to return.
Dare I look back, see what's been done.
Llife there was lost, they'll start again,
If they've a future.
How will you hold feelings inside
Never releasing what you must hide.
You are the only one too survive.
Moving away, ending all time.
They did not see things planned ahead.
They would not heed warnings we gave.
Leaders were foolish.
How will you hold feelings inside.
Never releasing what you must hide.
You are the only one too survive.

You and I we never see them
When they came we never saw them land
Never believing a single word they give us
Never receiving a single word they say
Do they know everything there is to know
Soon you'll hear them saying these words
You say you won't listen to me
When I say high is opposite to low
And you say I shouldn't have to show what you know is just logical
Move accross you boundaries to me
When I say try you mustn't be frightened
Open you mind and you will see everything is still logical
Step accross your boundaries to me
And you'll see why we want you to join us
To reach the stars and to learn
You'll maybe always
Try to follow us in a search for
Many things, things you can't see
Things you won't learn living your way
So come, you are creation
High aspirations
Travelling far, going your way
You can aim higher than life
Astral in mind, living your way
So come and feel the forces all around you
All around you, all around you, all around you.
When you know that something else is there
Moving all around your world, you'll see
Who was it said the world would
Be a better place in the year
2000 than it is for us now?
Nobody learned the lessons
Given by the teachers and they
Twisted everything around
Man racing in a bid to
Build a bigger weapon
Theatening destruction while he lasts
Nobody seems to learn that
Fire breeds fire
And the truth is written down in the past.
And it's you, Oh you, versus me.
Oh it's you, still you versus me.
Great leaders will be always
Trying to deceive you
Never letting peace spread everywhere
Let them come, let them go
Let them give all they know
Everybody ends up just the same
And it's you, Oh you, versus me.
Oh it's you, still you versus me.
Oh it's you, still you versus me.
Oh it's you, still you versus me.
It's the same old game.

Flying
Flying, slowly, searching the sky
Drifting, starlike, distant from our eyes
I know they're out there, watching, waiting
Flying, slowly, searching the night
Drifting earthwards, silent in flight
I know they're out there, watching, waiting
Flying, slowly, searching the sky
Drifting, probing, searching our minds
I know they're out there, watching, waiting

Fire In The Sky
Oh fire in the sky
You make the heart beat faster
Oh fire in the sky
We worship you as master
Ages before our eyes
You give us what we ask for
Ages before our eyes
It's you that's everlasting
Son of the distant guns
You lead us through the ages
Constant throughout the years
Our hope is ever with you
Ever embrace our fears
For ever we revere you
Set in a sea of stars
In orbit ever pulsing
Counting away the years
Forever you are counting
Son of the distant guns
You lead us through the ages
Set in a sea of stars
In orbit ever pulsing
Counting away the years
Forever you are counting
Light, sky, eyes looking
To you so much surging power
Giving wisdom, giving horizons
Giving lifes rites
Live, die, hide
Some great mystic reaching
Earthwards to you
Higher worship, higher spirit
Within the moon

Moon
If only they knew
What it held store
Left in it's orbit
By their fathers before
Crushing their future
With this moon left behind
Until explosion
They'll have beauty in mind
Crushing their future
With this moon left behind
Until explosion
They'll have beauty in mind
Look at the moon
Look at the moon
Look at the moon
Look at the moon
