Take-Off (1991 demo) Lyrics


Red lights are flashing, something is wrong

Seems to be out of control

Checking, checking, calling the tower

Can't seem to get no reply

Down below - the ocean blue is watching me and waiting

As if to drag me down

There's no escape from here

I'm isolated in this flying hell

Temperature's rising, leak on the fuel

The cooling system is down

Mayday, mayday, calling the tower

Still I can get no reply

Down below the claws of gravity are coming closer

As if to drag me down

There's no escape from here

I'm isolated in this flying hell

Waiting - the bed of eternal sleep

Just like a lullaby it hypnotizes

Hating the way it pulls me deep

Into oblivion I'm falling faster

Now it is blackening before my eyes

I can still hear, but can't see

Listen, listen to howling winds, howling for company: me!

Down below the water absorbs me, am I dead or still alive

There's no escape from here

I'm isolated in this flying hell

Waiting - the bed of eternal sleep

Just like a lullaby it hypnotizes

Hating the way it pulls me deep

Into oblivion I'm falling faster

This isn't right, this is weird

I'm still alive, but my plane has disappeared

Not our dimension, I feel I'm somewhere else

Other people are here too

We are in Hell

Oh, there's no way out

There's no way I can fool my fate - them odds are low

As I hit the surface, I leave my fate in the hands of God

It is for him to decide

Red lights are flashing, something is wrong

Seems to be out of control

Checking, checking, calling the tower

Can't seem to get no reply

Down below - the ocean blue is watching me and waiting

As if to drag me down

There's no escape from here

I'm isolated in this flying hell

Waiting - the bed of eternal sleep

Just like a lullaby it hypnotizes

Hating the way it pulls me deep

Into oblivion I'm falling faster
