lyrics

Lowering the helmet,
how with gloves this thick,
attempt to strap the belts
with fumbling anxiety

soon to be weightless in blackened foreign skies
this cloak and dagger flight now risking all our lives

take off
overwhelming
apprehension
shaking
the turbulence
the atmosphere
release the rockets
approaching space

weight, weight, weight, weightless

feel my body rise out from my seat
the sensation of flight
release the belts and float away
to encompass the dream
but unbeknown to the euphoric crew
dark danger lurked nearby
the event horizon of a gap in space
where nothing can escape

black hole, as we approach the
black hole, as we approach the
black hole

eyes struggle to open
blinding light from a distant body
focused now restored
overcome by this radiant energy
looming towards the glowing galaxy
a world of colour and light unknown to me
the cosmic bliss of what we've always seeked
something that a human mind could never dream

but moments before the wonder could control,
a warning sign that the ship was soon to blow
the damaged ship now leaking oxygen
would end the mission as it had just begun
lunar module our life boat in this sea
the world will never know this beauty galaxy
the damaged ship now leaking oxygen
would end the mission as it had just begun

apollo, the world will never know
apollo, the world will never know

drift till the end of days
lost in the outer space

apollo the world will never know
apollo the world will never know
