Mission To Mars

(album: The Element Of Sonic Defiance - 2000)

Countdown initiation
sequence the course is set
all systems functioning in check
all preparations have been met
brain function at full engagement
body locked in vigilance
awaiting contact with a destination far inside of me
sling shot across the sky
a million light years to the other side
reality's a distant hazy dream
exiting the atmosphere of my mind body and chemistry
my body separates itself from me
approaching our destination
heart and mind have reached ascension
no response to signal sent
we are unable to respond to the remaining threat
crews incapacitated vital signs have clearly stated
something's gone wrong with the ship
collision course is imminent slingshot across the sky
a million light years to the other side
no one could have imagined anything like this
ascending to another state can't stop and think
or hesitate the reality of the situation has reached control.
