Reality Dreamare
Menacing silence fills the air
All is still nobody moves
Darkness covers all the land
Only dim lights penetrate the gloom
Yet within this void four men sit
Awake yet silent awaiting a call
To start moving at a frightening pace
Together but to each alone
Soon the call to summon arrives
Up in a flash, out into the cold
Picking equipment up off the table
Knocking over tin mugs of chocolate gone cold
Sprinting across the grass as fast as they can
To where many hours they'll spend
Their temporary home of unusual dimensions
A big machine they will tend
Up in the night sky they go
Four engines revving fast
Each man designated a section
His job will be done alone tonight
Many hours they are away
Scenery changing below
Darkness still shrouds the perspex
Awaiting the morning red glow
