[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

Lyrics

This rocket's going nowhere
It's travelling so fast.
In one end goes the future,
out the other comes the past.
And we are on a mission as we hurtle through the night,
to build a Heaven in Hell's despite.

This rocket's going nowhere,
the hull is full of holes.
No one navigating
No one at the controls.
No one said it would be easy
on our maiden flight,
to build a Heaven in Hell's despite.

This rocket's held together
with string and chewing-gum.
We don't know where we're headed,
don't know where we're coming from.
But we'll know it when we see it,
when we see the light.
We'll build a Heaven in Hell's despite.
