Oak was buried with its head in the ground

Roots reaching for the auburn sky

Crown of old
Pulled from the mud

To ease the journey
To keep the wheel from turning

I'm the rain
On your parade
I'm the hand
Closing the door
The wolves of the hour
Are howling outside
And you will surrender
To all your desires
The last decide

A word to the wisest
The art was a lie
With no bag to check in
A cynical ride
Still we will make it
Winter took
It won't take me

Fence is high
But so are the trees
So are the trees!

You are waving
Facing strangers
You can't help them

Cruel idea
Cruel idea
Cruel idea

Soyuz high

Cold war
Messenger
Here at last
Shore full of stars
Every man haunted inside

Timeless void
Barren soil
We made the sword from a snake
In a metal
Window's frame
The gold balloon
Will rise again
Bouncing light
Encapsulate
A cosmonautic
Escapade
Miles away from promised land
A little man with little faith
He'll never make it home

Ran his kite around the fields
A dancing diamond
Brought him closer to his dream
Of outer space
Time has ways to
Make you pay

The phase of entry
The shields are burning
I couldn't keep the angle
This devil ship
A future machine

Came in too steep on one wing
Out of control
I know you mean this
There's no more next time
This house soured
Crashed through the hours
All these
Wasted years

Soyuz One
Hurry home
Through your
Endless flight
