Epilogue (Part 2) Lyrics

[Jerry Wayne ("Pasadena Control")]
It's looking good. It's going good. We're getting great pictures here at NASA Control, Pasadena. The landing-craft touched down on Mars 28 kilometers from the aim-point. We're looking at a remarkable landscape, littered with different kinds of rocks - red, purple... How 'bout that, Bermuda?

[Jerry Wayne ("Bermuda Control")] Fantastic! Look at the dune-field

[Jerry Wayne ("Pasadena Control")]
Hey, wait. I'm getting a no-go signal. Now I'm losing one of the craft. Hey, Bermuda, you getting it?

[Jerry Wayne ("Bermuda Control")]
No, I lost contact. There's a lot of dust blowing up there

[Jerry Wayne ("Pasadena Control")]
Now I've lost the second craft. We got problems

[Jerry Wayne ("Bermuda Control")]
All contact lost, Pasadena. Maybe the antenna's-

[Jerry Wayne ("Pasadena Control")]
What's that flare? See it? A green flare, coming from Mars, kind of a green mist behind it. It's getting closer. You see it, Bermuda? Come in, Bermuda! Houston, come in! What's going on? Tracking station 43, Canberra, come in, Canberra! Tracking station 63, can you hear me, Madrid? Can anybody hear me? Come in, come in!

Instrumental (1:25 - 1:50)
