[verse]
Galloping with speed, riding on his steed
Toward the mountains, filled with ease under a dark sky
Though the ships prepare, scanning here and there
That old horse intuits a path through the long night
Stomp against the stone, they are not alone
But the vehicles they near-miss both their shadows
Making due, their life must pursue, it true
and the time they have on this world has diminished
[chorus]
On their own in barren land, visitors have sought the man
Fewer choices are at hand, so there's not much else, but seek the hills
Forget diplomacy, when they're after you, and see
Have to hide away tonight, your companion leads they way with sight
[verse]
Baffled by the end, caught within a net
All the effort spent is gone in just an instant
They might find a way, out from this someday
When the astronauts comprehend all their missteps
