1. Sputnik-1 The first steps of humankind, a prime glance at what’s to come Ascertain this is not impossible, and explore the unreachable Overcoming the distance Grasping what seems so far Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why How long before we hold this place? Draw new lines on the celestial map Some day these lands will be ours Fathoming these stainless paths, assembling frail sheet metal Drag us away from old Earth, and slash a way trough the uncharted Overcoming the distance Grasping what seemed so far Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why How long before we hold this place? Draw new lines on the celestial map Some day these lands will be ours Tiny shreds of consciousness in the cosmic ocean Remember the pioneers, forever sealed in our hearts The lane has been paved by others before us Clearing the scape for those who shall expand the trail Fellow traveller exploring the skies Secluded pathways orbiting our world Astral empire designed in aether Celestial spheres looming within reach The cradle is way too narrow - Borderlines ought to be crossed More awaits to be seen elsewhere - Remote shores calling are for harvest Printed feet into stranger dust - Further havens to be called home A bold flag floating into the void - The claim of stars has now begun Overcoming the distance Grasping what seemed so far Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why How long before we hold this place? Draw new lines on the celestial map Some day these lands will be ours 2. Voskhod Dawn breaks But it's still dark Through the ship porthole The stars are shining And the blue sphere glows The narrow cabin creaks Screeching sounds from the dashboards The radio crackles The suit is ready The air is clean here Just like the silence Right there outside Biting cold and indifferent The airlock opens slowly One foot first, then the other A thin metal partition Splits the midst and the pit Floating in nothingness To become one with it Tame the depths too Like an adverse obstacle Breathing sounds are very loud Time doesn't really exist anymore This darkness is so beautiful Yet so unearthly terrifying To be the initial front-runner To dive into the unknown To be the first pathfinder To leap in Terra Incognita 3. Kudryavka Destiny loads passengers with no boarding card Steers them to absurd terminal destinations Innocuous souls exploited by ambition No one ever agreed to the stoping station Great, immoral, remarkable, despicable Wrong, essential, criminal, phenomenal Not a chance to reach awareness Just being there, breathing, living A beating, loving, trusting heart The horizon is vertical For the unfortunate brigade Future craves for a sacrifice Soft friendly hands, hard hostile hands Device of an epic sad tale That will never be forgotten 4. Soyuz Let's do it together We are unified A man is an atom One common goal matters No more alternatives Death waits for one of us At the end of the road Fate is written up there Launching is a countdown How much more time is left? None of this makes sense Except that of saving face One last bitter farewell A last look at the Motherland Trees slowly get smaller The ground gently depart And the sky calmly turns black How many fallen heroes Aware of their outcome How many nameless brothers Merely fame remain Rest in peace brave soldier You did not die in war But what the world needs is cannon fodder A metal coffin falls from the sky A halo of fire lights it up high A lost burning machine betraying High speed scorching carcass returning Dazzling bright comet blazing in the rain Static noise drowns the screams of pain 5. Kosmonavt Space is a sea on which no ship has ever sailed Vastness to discover along the stellar winds So many exotic ports to navigate to Follow the cosmic tides where no map has been drawn The stars will be the next gods Of the galactic highway Era of a new conquest Settlers of a modern type Farmers of the universe Harvest these fallow pastures Taming these strange fields Where they will set foot first Straddling the endless light Adjusting their visors Looking further, always Galaxies, be their cattle! The cosmos is a farm waiting for its owner Inept inception will return to oblivion The time of the iron grip of men will soon come Follow their progress as they brave their hard way through Adventurers, slowly letting void disappear Unsung heroes expanding the realm of life Armored knights without weapons nor ennemies Cruising through the eternal hollow avenues The cosmonauts shall become Prophets beyond the frontiers Lyrics in plain text format
