this is pretty long... but has a cool story behind it. if I get some good feedback in here, then I will post up the second and final half.
Sweat pouring down my face as I'm sitting in the cockpit... So many thoughts running through my mind... Will I be coming back alive? What will I encounter in a strange, new place to me? But I'm drawn to the mystery of the heavens, and nothing is going to stop this expedition....
Hear the rocket blast off as there came engines roarin’
All the tubes grasp the body, now the flames send them soarin’
Check, and once again, I saw them as I stared on the ground
My fiancée and kids clasp their ears, they scared of the sound
But they seein’ in their hearts that I’m known as a patriot
Sorry that I’ve been away so much, you’ve grown and I’m hatin’ it
I could try and ignore it, but the sky has a calling
We’re attached at the soul, each time, I die as I’m falling
So I feel a sense of home as I’m reachin’ the sky
I’m the king of the heavens, angels? I teach ‘em to fly
Now I’m breachin’ the heights of clouds as I’m breaking atmosphere
Another step for humanity is what I’m taking at most here
I’m mistaking that close fear for the dark in the distance
But the seeds and lights of God have come to spark an existence
In the stem of my mind, and now I’m seein’ the galaxy
The lid over our Earth, it’s more a roof than our palates be
And what comes out of this cover is just so much more rapturing
Than anything on our planet, finds it easy to capture things
And I’m flowing on air, not even knowing I’m there
An easing calm floods through my veins and stops my growing despair
My senses going impaired, I’m in a total new mind state
Only happy thoughts are there, this feeling seems to define ‘great’
And I’m hoping emotions I’m having last me forever
But what I see through the windscreen as I’m blastin’ the lever
Really chills my insides, it really freezed my veins
The black hole looming in front of me ain’t eased my pains
The swirling mass of nothingness is tryin’a draw me in
And as I get even closer, I hear the roar begin
The rocket jolting as the chunks of rock smack onto the side
All I think about’s my wife and kids… I’m goin’ to die
And my thoughts are dwellin’ deep inside my cerebral cortex
As I’m floatin’ ever closer to this big, evil vortex
Feel the sudden pulling feeling as I near the centre
Roll myself up like a baby, just a mere placenta
‘Cause I’ve never been so scared as my ship starts to enter
All I’m hearing is a rushing, all I see is magenta
Lookin’ out the side display, I just had to peek fast
All I see is moving black, a couple stars streak past
And then suddenly, it stops… All I hear is my heart
All my emotions are drained, even my fear at the start
And all I can do is wonder, as my head starts to twirl
“What am I seein’ out my window… What is this brand new world?”
To Be Continued…
