F.T.L.

As the engines start to spin, childhood dreams from deep within Believe this day is finally mine, writing history this time This is the captain, all is go Let's do this right and take it slow My mind is so clear, stand fast, show no fear Engage! Jump sequence starts and the bow begins to turn Fighters in formation see us off beyond the stern How I miss the soft rains of home on my face We shall return, heroes from outer space Singularity stand by, our distance to earth is safe Time to fly, hear how she roars goodbye Heavier than a star, no place is too far Not even space and time can touch this ship of mine True pioneers leave everything behind Split second darkness and the blaze of a foreign sun An eerie silence, the second countdown has begun Mesmerized we gaze into the dawn of another age Our kind will spread across the stars Explore, colonize, engage Singularity stand by, trillions of miles from earth Let her fly, hear how she roars goodbye Heavier than a star, no place is too far Not even space and time can touch this ship of mine True pioneers leave everything behind "For the eyes of the world now look into space, and to the planets beyond We have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest But by a banner of freedom and peace We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction But with instruments of knowledge and understanding Man, in his quest for progress, is determined and cannot be deterred The exploration of space will go ahead" Heavier than a star, no place is too far Not even space and time can touch this ship of mine True pioneers leave everything behind We are heading out - out of here alive Heading out - out of here alive We are heading out - out of here alive Heading out - out of here alive --- F.T.L. - Keldian
