Icarus Project ( Drifting in space)

 I'm gonna send him to outer space,
to find another race.
Spaceman, I always wanted you to go
into space man


How exciting then, to be chosen
handpicked, best of the best
The Intense training
all worth it

Champagne flutes toast the christening
Icarus the Sol dancer
Solar sails unfurled
five, four , three
two, one
ignition

Day 82
Just.....plasma....storm
Klaxon sounds
this is not a drill
...Mayday...
..Control..
Circuits fried pungent smells
wafting through the ozone

There's a fire between us
my love, where is your god?
I have lost control
if the oxygen system holds
I will have the most
spectacular view of the sun
Here I fade to black
My love know
I think of you
Icarus signing off...

Is this oxygen deprivation?
I swear there is a beacon
shining out there
I can hear Sneaky Sound System
I saw a UFO but nobody believes me
ground control to Major Tom
Beam me up Scotty
I want to go home
