Beneath the ground
My parents' yard
A shaft of light
Through the door
To lights aligned in narrow rows
Somber glass and razor nose
In shades of red and steel and gold
Engines hulking, large and bold
My flight from this lonely world
Searching
Where will I go
I don't know
A home in the sky, a battle in the night
The kingdom I saw in my mind's eye
The second star
To the right
And straight on
Till the dawn, till the dawn
Goodbye galaxy, I'm keen to explore new worlds Yet unknown
The spiff and splendor rise overhead
Lasers on, toggle shields
Flip the switch... cue theme song
Explosions in the distance
And chaos radio
Bring the meaning, make it matter
These adventures are the gold
In chambers ancient, ocean cold
Torch and dagger, jump and roll
Pixel-perfect symphonies
Asteroids and avalanches of space dust astray
Chaos and cavalcades of cruisers in the fray
Barrel roll, engines full, dodging blaster rays
Torpedoes to and fro, flak and foe
Here I save the day
Blink
Despite the battle's flame
I know, I know
This is only a game
Morning light disproves the night
Dries out the shadows
Lays bare my life
Forever I've been gone
What happened while I wasted time
I want out of here
Wires and fires, around me spray
Ecstatic static spark barbs pop away
Blurry, hurried stars alight
Star flayed lines awake, ignite
Break the ties, cross the line
The blue screen of death reversed, I find
My life in tones more defined
Than I've ever known
A world outside remains I'm told
A love that's new and deeply old
This, my flight into the lonely world
This is my fight in the lonely world
Into the silent, the silent planet
Into the silent, the silent planet
Go
