Hey! What's this?
The starless and silent
Evening, full of joy
My last, I fear
'cause later there won't be
Nothing left for me

Hey! What's this?
The starless and silent
Evening, full of joy
My last, I fear
For I hold our future in my hands
My life, restored and set in stone
My head, I fear, later is no more

The outer regions of our galaxy
My destination, mankind's hope. What will I find?
Is there only mindless matter? What will I find?
Is there anything?
The stars will guide my way
Speed acquired by the sun
Flying into space
On a mission without prospects
A candle in my hand
A memory in my head
In space, still alone

(Not for my own sake)
(Of human's blind desire)
(Not for one's mind to grasp)
(A ripple on the ocean)
(What forces are there out there)

What's my purpose
If not for my own sake
Am I a puppet
Of human's blind desire
Do we have a purpose
Not for one's mind to grasp
A feather on my skin
A ripple on the ocean
What will we find
What forces are there out there
How can space-time be bent
So I can remember again…

Down to the very last candle
Already fading
Getting unstable
I don't even know
What I'm looking for
Out here, passing a quasar
No one to guide me
Traveling the wind of a solar tornado
Nothing to stop me
Nothing to block me
But the light of another white giant
Now I'm red-shifting like a volcano
I am nearing terminal velocity
