Swallowtail Songtext
von Exit Stage Left

Swallowtail
Towering over me
Swallowtail
What might angels see

Delay the countdown
Of this voyage past the stars
′Cause I'm not ready
To abandon what we are
Taking luck for granted
Trusting the greener grass

Oh Swallowtail
Towering over me
Swallowtail
What might angels see


Disengage the thrusters
I′m frightened by the sound
Once we pass the Kármán line
Will the earth keep spinning 'round, woah
Will you still be there
Or will you fade to pictures in my mind

Stairway to the stars, forgotten what we are
The poison in our seas, our hearts, our minds
Illusion set in stone, upon a rotting throne
Among the billion others left behind

How could we comprehend this feeling
To leave a galaxy behind
While no one knows what might await us
So many thoughts fly through my mind
Heaven knows we've tried
Heaven knows we′ve tried
Heaven knows we′ve tried
Swallowtail
Liberating me
Swallowtail
Is this what angels see
