Escape The Earth

As our homelands vanishing into walls of flame.
Giant plumes are banishing life till none remains.
Saviors come from out the sky burning into dust.
Cities vaporizing are dispersed by a gust.

So I step on further.
One foot to the ramp.
Each step is harder.
But I can't look back.

Goodbye my island and farewell to the sea.
Remember the mountains and all the cities.
Cry for the forests and the towns of our birth.
Intrepid survivors as one escape the Earth.

From the view port watch the world getting smaller now.
Engines shaking as we rush farther from the ground.
Endless seas of black before us are opening.
Still we only mourn our loss of Earth perishing.

So I close my eyes.
Remember my home.
Suppress my cries.
I feel so alone.

Goodbye my island and farewell to the sea.
Remember the mountains and all the cities.
Cry for the forests and the towns of our birth.
Intrepid survivors as one escape the Earth.

As we leave the atmosphere I hear my heart cry.
Soon we'll be beyond the spheres, into another life.

Goodbye my island and farewell to the sea.
Remember the mountains and all the cities.
Cry for the forests and the towns of our birth.
Intrepid survivors as one escape.

Goodbye my island and farewell to the sea.
Remember the mountains and all the cities.
Cry for the forests and the towns of our birth.
Intrepid survivors as one escape the Earth.
