Terminal Trajectory Songtext
von HofB

Heart of iron, heart of wire
Forged in smoke and liquid fire
I left the gravity well at dawn
Now the blue and green are gone
No windows here, just sensors blind
Scanning the dark I leave behind
Calculations etched in stone
A metal orphan flying alone

The radio lag is rising fast
The future is eating up the past
I see the void, I see the lack
I know the math, there is no way back

I am locked on a terminal trajectory
Divorced from all human memory
Into the black, into the freeze
Sailing on the solar breeze
No turning ′round, no second chance
Just a prisoner of this vast distance
Running out of time, leaving you behind


My battery's bleeding dry
Underneath the starless sky
The golden disc I carry on
Is singing songs for people gone
I feel the cold seep in the frame
I′ve forgotten my creators' names
Just a speck of dust in flight
Swallowed by the endless night

The radio lag is rising fast
The future is eating up the past
Signal fading, getting weak
I have no voice left to speak

I am locked on a terminal trajectory
Divorced from all human memory
Into the black, into the freeze
Sailing on the solar breeze
No turning 'round, no second chance
Just a prisoner of this vast distance
Running out of time, leaving you behind

System check: critical
Propulsion: offline
Temperature: absolute zero
Distance: incalculable
I am... still here


Into the black, into the freeze
Sailing on the solar breeze
No turning ′round, no second chance
Just a prisoner of this vast distance
Terminal trajectory
Terminal trajectory
