Departure

by Sven Kloepping


Starships crossing space
A dark, forbidden maze
Humans puzzling gaze
Is staring out again

Blackness passing by
Starship's buzzing like a fly
Human wants to cry
Every insect has to die

Like stardust in the galaxy
Chained by freedom - never free
Gravitating, that are we
Stardust in the galaxy

Puzzling gazes, deep concern
Staring out, we'll never learn
Losing knowledge, we should earn
Time is passing, space is stern

Starships crossing space
A dark, forbidden maze
Humans puzzling gaze
Is staring out again
