A million years it's been, since the search began. |
|
Still can't find it. Still can't find it. |
|
The fuel is nearly spent. Check the maps again. |
|
Can't let go of it. Can't let go of it. |
|
Now the crew is cold and drunk on chemicals. |
|
Can't believe in it. Can't believe in it. |
|
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say, |
|
"We' re so close to it, so very close to it. |
|
We still have energy in us." |
|
We feel our hearts break as the engines fade. |
|
Still need to find it. Still need to find it. |
|
So we took the written words of our philosophers, |
|
and built a fire from it. Let's get those engines lit. |
|
We took the church's veil and built a mighty sail. |
|
to carry forth this ship. but we're still losing it. |
|
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say, |
|
"We' re so close to it, so very close to it. |
|
We still have energy in us." |
|
The mission's over now, and my breath is running out. |
|
Can't let go of it, can't let go of it. |
|
I didn't mean what I said, I didn't mean what I said. |
|
I love you more than this. I love you more than this. |
|
Then lights they fill the air, or were they always there? |
|
I finally see it. I finally see it. |
|
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say, |
|
"You're always close to it, so very close to it." |
|
There's so much energy in us. |
