First Light Lyrics - Singles - Shadow Gallery

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 

Searchig 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 heros 

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 

We will carry on 

Where our children can be free from the pain 

The human race 

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 relfect 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 

Somwhere there is a world not left 

To die 

The stars will shine their light down unto me 

Illuminating 

The stars will shine their light and I will see 

Will I find my way? 

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 

And what's there to fear now! 

No messages are getting through 

I fall into the black abyss of night 

I'm gone 

The pioneering spirit charges the unkown 

Accept the consequence of risk 

I'm all alone here 

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 s 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 

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
