Straight on 'till morning But the daylight never comes Outside an endless void Radiation and cosmic dust Through the gulf of space Towards some distant star Far beyond our earth's sky Human kind will live or die Dark side of heaven Or the spiral arm of hell Madness dwells in the deep Screams in silence heard by none Infinity it calls As remorseless stars watch The last life on earth Make one last try for rebirth A distant point of ancient light Past dead and drifting suns Godspeed on seas of fate Longing for the end Shrouded in eternal night Ahead lies our destiny A promised land we all await In the dark before the dawn A masterpiece of science Built to ferry our souls Faster than the speed of light Is it beyond our reach? These uncharted worlds Our race on a desperate flight A distant point of ancient light Past dead and drifting suns Godspeed on seas of fate Longing for the end Shrouded in eternal night Ahead lies our destiny A promised land we all await In the dark before the dawn In the dark before the dawn In the dark before the dawn
