The Call Lyrics


We had the liftoff during the war in 1944

I can still remember our journey to the heavens

Once and for all

This was my goal for many years

And I believed that nothing could go wrong

But back in mission control...

Oh, they knew...

Now I can see the flames on the outer surface

I'm paralyzed within

And I ask myself what can be done to fix it

Before it's too late

This was my goal for many years

And I believed that nothing could go wrong

But back in mission control...

Oh, they knew...

That our hope was long gone

[All action stations, all action stations

Evacuation starts in sixty seconds]

The call into the dark

And all this I have done just for the fame

So say we all

Engine failure in fuel supply

The call into the dark

We must be patient beyond the pain

The call

Explosion on board

EECOM is now gone

This ship is out of control

Please, pray for our safe return

[All action stations, all action stations

Evacuation starts in sixty seconds]

The call into the dark

And all this I have done just for the fame

So say we all

Now I watch Earth against

The black and uninviting vacuum

We're lost between Earth and the horizon

Across the light into the dark

...Into the dark
