lyrics

WAKE UP, MAX. PLANETFALL COMENSE IN T-MINUS 2 MINUTES

I am waking up again
After years in outer space
The autopilot disengaged
I had fled the curs-ed earth
With a handful of my mates
The only souls to have escaped

Everybody else is gone
I guess we are the chosen ones
Ascending to the heavens
And we don't know why they picked us to go on to the stars
We've come so far and now we're landing
No one knows what we will find
When we finally arrive
Descending into hell or are we about to regain paradise?
The engines die
We're calmly falling

Here we are approaching the home stretch
Have I learned to stick the landing yet?

THRUSTERS ENGAGED

The ground comes racing up at us
It's shining green and blue
Just like the one we knew
The atmosphere is screaming in our ears
We can see signs of liii-i-i-ife
But something isn't right

Haven't we been here before?
Have we all been misinformed?
We were told that we were on a mission to find a home for us all as we fall
There's no more denying the world beneath us
Now the doors are open wide
Step onto the earth that died
"Oh my God, I'm home! I'm back!
You maniacs!
You blew it up!
God damn you all to hell!"

Here we are approaching the home stretch
Have we learned to stick the landing yet?
