First Light Lyrics by Shadow Gallery

Legacy

0

From the first gray light of the morning
I've been gone
On my journey towards the stars
Will I know when I reach the other side

The earth so blue it's like I'm dreaming
Now I'm on my way
Tainted shadows fall like rain
Through the dark vast weight only silence lingers on

The origin of existence lies somewhere far far beyond
I feel unattached tranquility
A hand from the heavens guiding me
And wondering where this path will lead

In a dream I'm lost and
Floating through the atmosphere
Searching for significance against
Infinity eternity

I've been taken by the vast and
Humbled by the weight of what I've seen

You know they called for heroes
'Cause heros carry on
In know the world is fading
So from the first gray light of the morning I've been gone

Now I pray for a better life
For all the ones I love
We search beyond our reach
And turn our gaze above

I hope that it's the way
To fill our basic needs
And my sacrifice not vain
And I'll return again

The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass
As I pass beyond the god of war
Distant voices hear them crying out
I must seek out new worlds and explore

And I know that there just must be a place
Where our children can be free from the pain
It must be somewhere out in space

The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass
As I pass beyond the god of war
Distant voices hear them crying out
I must seek out new worlds and explore

And I know that there must be a place
It must be somewhere out in space

Silver moonbeams reflect the sun
Martian landscapes worlds beyond
I touch down with no trace
No sign of life on this place

Now I feel a surge of energy
The deepest passion burns in me
Somewhere there is a world not left to die

The stars will shine their light down unto me
The stars will shine their light and I will see
So back to the darkness I fly
In search of a hope in the sky

I should have known right from the start
I'll not return home
It seems so surreal as I go

The knowlesdge of science alone
Can't save all the people I know
That I've left behind

The sun I know is growing smaller
I drift for days on endless hours
No messages are getting through
I fall

The pioneering spirit charges the unknown
Accept the consequence of risk
I'm all alone here
I don't know if I'll return and
The fate of life is on my heart

I left a dying world behind
On my way
Oh where is our oasis in the sky
The future of our race

I left a poisoned world behind
Now I see there's no
Heaven-bound oasis in the sky
Only dreams
Dreams
Dreams
Dreams
Dreams

I've got no destination
Helpless I drift on
The weight of silence
How it's eating at my soul

And yet I sense a stirring
Something so spiritual
I wonder if the fate of mankind
Is in the hands of a higher power calling to us all

I left a dying world behind
On my way
Only God can stop the spiral down to hell
The future of our race

I left a poisoned world behind
Now I see
Only heaven's the oasis in the sky
It's my dream
