[Music: S. Drover, G. Drover]

[Lyrics: S. Drover]



Checking the engines - all things are in place

Strapped down the countdown's begun

Lift-off in flames - smoke is filling the sky

Arrival to countdown is done

May god be with us - now splitting the sky

Launching our way into space



Many - failed to pass the test

Can't attain - illusive



Expanding horizons - a leap for mankind

Mission is set and in place

Drifting through masses of binary stars

Solar flares beaming with light

Radar detection - incredulous site

The black hole - approaching in space



Many - failed to pass the test

Can't attain - illusive



[Solo]

[1st section - Andy]

[2nd section - Glen]



Mission control has detected - encourage

To alter the plan - it's too late

Sucking our spacecraft in forbidden blackness

Components malfunction - now frayed

Losing all contact with mission control

1000 light years from home



Many failed to pass the test

The black hole - illusive
