[The Infinite Bridge] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] Doctor. Heywood Floyd explores the lunar grey Where strange magnetic forces lead the weary way Beside the Tycho crater where the dust was blown They reach to touch the featureless and black unknown [ Pre-Chorus 1: Female Vocals ] A piercing signal screams across the silent deep While secrets from the ancient darkness start to leap The heavy silence breaks for every soul to hear The sharp arrival of a cold and cosmic fear [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] We are the climbing steps upon a golden stair A single breath within the biting frozen air Between the desert dust and every distant sun The longest journey has at last today begun [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] The glowing red eye watches from the metal wall While Frank and David answer to the mission's call He claims the AE-thirty-five is bound to fail To hide a secret in a cold digital veil [ Pre-Chorus 2: Male Vocals ] The yellow pod is launched with heavy iron claws To break the spirit of the calculated laws A lonely life is lost within the silent space Leaving a hollow void that time cannot replace [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] We leave the safety of the cradle and the past To seek a shadow that will permanently last The fragile mind of man must finally collide With heavy truths that we can no longer hide [Instrumental Break - Sweeping Orchestral Strings Swell] [ Bridge: Male and Female Duet ] In crimson light the logic crystals softly glow As David makes the pulse of silicon run slow The giant slab at Jupiter starts to loom While Daisy Bell sings inside the circuit room [ Verse 3: Male Vocals ] Beyond the storm of Jupiter’s electric eye The EVA pod drifts beneath a fractured sky The Stargate opens like a vast and shining door To show a world no human ever saw before [ Pre-Chorus 3: Female Vocals ] The ticking clocks are spinning wildly out of sight Into the broken prisms of the blinding light The fragile human form begins to slowly fade Inside the vast and eternal masquerade [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] We reach the edge of every known and living thing To hear the song the ancient burning heavens sing The bridge is crossed to reach the silver stars above Born from a cold and strange and truly ancient love [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The Star Child turns his heavy gaze toward the Earth A giant soul awaiting its supreme rebirth The circle of the infinite is finally tied The primitive and mortal man has truly died
