The Acid Lakes of Ganymede

Breathing shallowly Oxygen stores now depleting Cygnus-one took quite a beating Harm sustained from overheating Burned away what was remaining What now remains? Combusting with every breath what meager molecules are left A beacon beaming, pioneering carving through the atmosphere Small, but infinite incandescent light Dim, yet in full sight Piercing endless night Oh, it's burning bright! Forging on and on tenaciously fixated On the slightest sign of a reprieve Looming is Ganymede What lies beneath? Crystal clear, but devoid of life Reservoirs of bile and blight A beacon gleaming in the deep Shimmering from beneath the Acid Lakes of Ganymede! Blown wide Depressurized All air bleeding out into the void Meteorite Falling of stars Carbonized Prepared to die But holding tight to every atom left of life! Brace for impact Brace for impact Brace for impact in the acid lake! As I fall, free of motion, in suspended animation Dreaming of what I'd find I am sure that it was not here Fear of the gleaming light I couldn't shake it I will always feel that I can't make it on my own Eyes erupt to view the gleam Visions of what was foreseen Reaching out to grasp the dream Sublimate straight into steam What light gleams beneath the Acid Lakes of Ganymede? Dissipation of my extent, outer being Nuclear fission of atoms that would connect the seams Dissipation of my extent, outer being Nuclear fission of atoms that would connect the seams As his body broke down into its most basic molecules It would spell disaster What was the origin of this mysterious light And what will become of our hero? Ripped apart, ripped apart at the seams Retinas burned by the nuclear gleam Ripped apart, ripped apart at the seams Retinas burned by the nuclear gleam I'll redefine the pain you hold inside I'll redefine Just have to sign the dotted line Ripped apart, ripped apart at the seams Retinas burned by the nuclear gleam I'll redefine the pain you hold inside I'll redefine Just have to sign the dotted line I'll find a way, a new design Chase the signal to continue Rebuild all the atoms left of you! My form now discreet A sum less than the whole being My form is incomplete Mend the fracture that exists inside of me So please reformulate Don't let this mission be my final fate The end has never seemed so near, but wait Don't you see a glint of hope inside the gleam? So, please, reformulate Don't say it's too late! (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh, now it's coming back to me A new reality is waiting there for me Don't say it's too late
