Our goal

Held in the claws of time

Our souls

Not even worth a dime

Our fate

Decided the night before

Our own hell

Realized in a mighty roar

Next flight

It had to be done

New success

What could go wrong?

Seven lives

They were expendable

Deadly failure

Sometimes a loss is possible

(chorus)

We should have known

It all before

There's an end when you

Always search for more

M 51-L just wasn't meant

to be

It was a failure from the start

Now can't you see?

The price for success

Just had to be paid

The sacrifice of lives

Just had to be made

A major malfunction

Not to be denied

Up in the air

Seven human beings suddenly died

(repeat chorus)

Ignition

Take off to hell

No way of burning back

Cremation

No time to scream

Turning from flesh into dust

Vanity

Like Icarus' burned wings

Pieces thrown back to the earth

Insanity

We came so close

More sacrifices will be made!

Icecold breath of death

Had done its job

Check, double check

Not thought of before

We went up

Nobody's perfect

America's name is nobody

Human shrapnel

True horror in the hearts of everybody

(chorus II)

Explosive fumes

The heat grows too fast

No cry in his name

No contact, no contact!

Seven bodies turned into

Countless drops of rain

Lifeless remains fall from

The heavens above

Bad luck

Or the destructive hand of God

Who shows his wrath?
