Sky's Limit

See up there the crest of heaven
Cast aside the earthly realms
Touch black, scorched and engraven
Earth again, rocket down, ready helms.

Did you seize divinity past sky's limit?
Erasing gravity with your metal falcon
Limitless physic forces as you rim it
This invisible barrier a vacant balcony

Unhappy with these bonds upon us
Seeking outward bounds of new worlds
Scorching reality with rocket fuels fuss
Welcome back to Terra-Firma boys
Is it still you?
Houston... we have a problem.
