Satellite 15... The Final Frontier Lyrics
Part I: Satellite 15
[Instrumental Intro 0:00 - 2:31]
[Verse 1]
I try to call the Earth's command desperation in my voice
I'm drifting way off course now with very little choice
The loneliness is hard to bear, I try to calm my fear
Just hoping any second now some contact filters through
[Verse 2]
Desperate calls signal back from Satellite
As my life flashes right in front of me
Try again, must get through
Hear me now, for I've very little time
[Verse 3]
Not much time, hear my call
Please get through, I am here
Part II: The Final Frontier
[Verse 4]
I'm stranded in space, I'm lost without trace
I haven't a chance of getting away
Too close to the Sun, I surely will burn
Like Icarus before me, or so legend goes
[Instrumental Intro 0:00 - 2:31]
[Verse 1]
I try to call the Earth's command desperation in my voice
I'm drifting way off course now with very little choice
The loneliness is hard to bear, I try to calm my fear
Just hoping any second now some contact filters through
[Verse 2]
Desperate calls signal back from Satellite
As my life flashes right in front of me
Try again, must get through
Hear me now, for I've very little time
[Verse 3]
Not much time, hear my call
Please get through, I am here
Part II: The Final Frontier
[Verse 4]
I'm stranded in space, I'm lost without trace
I haven't a chance of getting away
Too close to the Sun, I surely will burn
Like Icarus before me, or so legend goes
[Verse 5]
I think of my life, reliving my past
There's nothing but wait till my time comes
I've had a good life, I'd do it again
Maybe I'll come back sometime afresh
[Pre-Chorus]
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one last goodbye
[Chorus]
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
[Verse 6]
If I could survive to live one more time
I wouldn't be changing a thing at all
Done more in my life than some do in ten
I'd go back and do it all over again
[Pre-Chorus]
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one that last goodbye
I think of my life, reliving my past
There's nothing but wait till my time comes
I've had a good life, I'd do it again
Maybe I'll come back sometime afresh
[Pre-Chorus]
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one last goodbye
[Chorus]
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
[Verse 6]
If I could survive to live one more time
I wouldn't be changing a thing at all
Done more in my life than some do in ten
I'd go back and do it all over again
[Pre-Chorus]
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one that last goodbye
[Chorus]
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
[Instrumental Break 6:30 - 7:13]
[Guitar Solos]
[Verse 7]
There isn't much time, must say my last rites
Nobody is here to read them to me
Must say my goodbyes, if only a line
A message to tell them in case they might find
[Pre-Chorus]
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one last goodbye
[Chorus]
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
[Outro]
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
[Instrumental Break 6:30 - 7:13]
[Guitar Solos]
[Verse 7]
There isn't much time, must say my last rites
Nobody is here to read them to me
Must say my goodbyes, if only a line
A message to tell them in case they might find
[Pre-Chorus]
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one last goodbye
[Chorus]
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
[Outro]
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
The final frontier, the final frontier
