You drift through the velvet black
No map for the journey back
The metal skin starts to glow
Where the frozen currents flow
Silver glass reflecting white
Drinking in the ghost of light
Cold mirrors on a lonely wing
Hear the heavy engine sing
Your gauges spin in a blur
The sleeping systems start to stir
A distant spark in the haze
Lost inside a cobalt maze
Silver glass reflecting white
Drinking in the ghost of light
Cold mirrors on a lonely wing
Hear the heavy engine sing
You watch the dead planets spin
Where the void and the orbit thin
The cockpit smells like old rust
And a million years of dust
Silver glass reflecting white
Drinking in the ghost of light
Cold mirrors on a lonely wing
Hear the heavy engine sing
The radar pings a hollow tone
In a sector you call your own
You chase a signal out of sight
Through the pressure of the night
Cut the power, kill the heat
Feel the heavy rhythm beat
One sharp turn to break the line
Cross the border, cross the sign
The fuel is low in the tank
The empty stars are cold and blank
You steer into the solar flare
With a desperate, sudden prayer
Silver glass reflecting white
Drinking in the ghost of light
Cold mirrors on a lonely wing
Hear the heavy engine sing
Just a flicker in the dark
One last dying electric spark
Silver glass, silver sky
Watch the orbit pass you by
