Deserts of Mars

On the tenth of June we landed here on Mars And we look out through the dust clouds to the stars. All around us lay a plain of burning sand And a bitter wound flew out across the land. Not a single cosmos there to tell the past, Not a single lonely play till desert grass. This is how it really feels to be alone, Only fifty million miles away from home. Chorus I have flown here through the silent sea of space And I dare to set my foot upon this place. On the desert lies the shadow of a man After wind has blown his footprints from the sand. In the Martian night two moons rise in the sky And the winter cold is deeper than her sigh. And the mountains here aware since time began And they make me feel ashamed of what I am.
