Breathing shallowly
Oxygen stores now depleting
Cygnus-one took quite a beating
Harm sustained from overheating
Burned away what was remaining
What now remains?
Combusting with every breath what meager molecules are left
A beacon beaming, pioneering carving through the atmosphere
Small, but infinite incandescent light
Dim, yet in full sight
Piercing endless night
♪
Oh, it's burning bright!
Forging on and on tenaciously fixated
On the slightest sign of a reprieve
Looming is Ganymede
What lies beneath?
Crystal clear, but devoid of life
Reservoirs of bile and blight
A beacon gleaming in the deep
Shimmering from beneath the Acid Lakes of Ganymede!
♪
Blown wide
Depressurized
All air bleeding out into the void
Meteorite
Falling of stars
Carbonized
Prepared to die
But holding tight to every atom left of life!
Brace for impact
Brace for impact
Brace for impact in the acid lake!
♪
As I fall, free of motion, in suspended animation
Dreaming of what I'd find
I am sure that it was not here
Fear of the gleaming light
I couldn't shake it
I will always feel that I can't make it on my own
♪
Eyes erupt to view the gleam
Visions of what was foreseen
Reaching out to grasp the dream
Sublimate straight into steam
What light gleams beneath the Acid Lakes of Ganymede?
Dissipation of my extent, outer being
Nuclear fission of atoms that would connect the seams
Dissipation of my extent, outer being
Nuclear fission of atoms that would connect the seams
♪
As his body broke down into its most basic molecules
It would spell disaster
What was the origin of this mysterious light
And what will become of our hero?
Ripped apart, ripped apart at the seams
Retinas burned by the nuclear gleam
Ripped apart, ripped apart at the seams
Retinas burned by the nuclear gleam
I'll redefine the pain you hold inside
I'll redefine
Just have to sign the dotted line
Ripped apart, ripped apart at the seams
Retinas burned by the nuclear gleam
I'll redefine the pain you hold inside
I'll redefine
Just have to sign the dotted line
I'll find a way, a new design
Chase the signal to continue
Rebuild all the atoms left of you!
♪
My form now discreet
A sum less than the whole being
My form is incomplete
Mend the fracture that exists inside of me
So please reformulate
Don't let this mission be my final fate
The end has never seemed so near, but wait
Don't you see a glint of hope inside the gleam?
So, please, reformulate
Don't say it's too late! (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, now it's coming back to me
A new reality is waiting there for me
Don't say it's too late
