lyrics

Intro/Soft (0:42 to 1:20)
To ride the comet through the crying skies
To soar the clouds above the molten ground
To evening star, to morning star
A fading destiny, the nation’s dream

Verse One (1:21 to 1:59)
Через тернии в млечный путь
На крыльях прогресса назад не повернуть
Найдена цель, неизвестный мираж
Стена облаков стоит как безжалостный страж
Там на Земле, людские глаза
Гордость страны и мира в наших сердцах
На зависть планете отчислен маршрут
Полгода полёта, а потом двадцать минут

(English translation:
Through thorns to the Milky Way
On the wings of progress there is no turning back
Target is found, an unknown mirage
Wall of clouds stands like a merciless guardian
There on Earth, human eyes
Pride of the nation and the world in our hearts
To the envy of the planet, the path is calculated
Half a year of flight, then twenty minutes)

Chorus (1:59 to 2:18)
Падать вниз через вуаль
Чужих облаков
Падать вниз на милость
Странных ветров

(English translation:
To fall down through the veil
Of alien clouds
To fall down to the mercy
Of strange winds)

Verse Two (2:19 to 2:57)
Through the thorns and to the stars
Through limitations of man and machine’s diktat
Star of the morning, star of the night
Depths of inferno hidden behind her light
Pride of nations, a clarion call
Unity and ambition defining us all
Our aspiration, an orbital dream
Illumination of both man and machine

Chorus (2:58 to 3:35)
Sailing like a flagship
Through the alien skies
A symbol of our unity
For all mankind
Far away from division
A worthy goal
Pride of man, ascended
In our souls

Verse (3:54 to 4:32) solo (4:33 to 4:53)
Зеркало мрака знойных миров
В нас отражение бурь и звёздных костров
Тропа сотворения ждёт только нас
Другие миры и песни, здесь и сейчас
Mirror of darkness and of molten worlds
We are the reflection of pyres beyond the void
The path of creation made for our prowl
Other worlds and songs, but here and now

(note: English half of the verse is the translation of the Russian half)

Intro/Soft (4:54 to 5:30)
Мы видели эхо звёздных глубин
Наши губы шептали слова нездешних былин
Наши творения плыли в следу у комет
Нас будут помнить даже тогда когда нас нет

(English translation:
We saw the echo of stellar depths
Our lips whispered words of otherworldly epics
Our creations swam in the comets’ trails
We will be remembered even when we are no more)
