Mission 14

Oh Captain of mine
Don't you feel no pain.
It's been seventeen years
Must we do it again.
'Cos I 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 cease to see
The world that I knew.

Oh Captian of mine
How will we do this job.
This mission of ours
Is getting very hard.
Can't you see that's home to me;
And that's hard to lose

But we must journey on.
Our 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, a dying breed
A demonstration of my power.

Pulling away,
Time to return.
Dare I look back
And see what's been done.
Look, life there was lost
They'll start again,
If they've a future.

How will you hold,
Feelings inside
Never releasing
What you should hide.
You are the only
One too survive.

Moving away,
Ending all time.
They would not see
things planned ahead.
They did not heed
Warnings we gave.
Leaders were foolish.

How will you hold,
Feelings inside.
Never releasing
What you should hide.
You are the only
One too survive.
