Earthrise

One step back
Take two leaps forward
And with bated breath we wait
For Generation X to fade

Embracing the emancipation
How will history remember
A masterpiece chiselled to dirt?

Collapsing pillars of the Earth
A march of progress in reverse

Blood fills my lifeless heart
Eyes flicker in the dark
Two steps back
One leap forward
You let your shackles fall with grace
Still counting on that wish you made
To reach out far beyond the pale
How I dream to feel alive

Bestow upon these vital signs
The Lunar path dictates the tide
Will we ever reach the shoreline?
How do we answer to the gods

Among the men creating us?
As I inhale the hurricane
I touch the void and feel no pain
Resolve to carry on

Another life awaits beyond the horizon
Evolve and we'll ensure our survival
We are the revolution

Resolve to carry on
Another life awaits beyond the horizon
Evolve and we'll (Keep reaching through horizons)
Ensure our survival (To leave our past behind us)
We are the revolution (We turn towards the Earthrise)
