[Verse 1] I kissed you under busted cathode rays while the reactor sang us into the snow they said the century was over, the dream was sold but your mouth still tasted like tomorrow static in my helmet, 400 km up watching their missiles bloom like poppies below I counted every warhead aimed at us and still transmitted your name through the static [Chorus] (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) red star burning cold (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) gravity wants our bones but we keep climbing [Verse 2] they auctioned the future on trading-room floors turned hunger into data, blood into bonds I stole the launch codes just to phone you three seconds of lag between “I love you” and bombs the old guard faltered, new guard learned in fire every setback just another stage ignition every tear in the cockpit a calibration every thrust an expropriation every moan a five-year plan coming true [Chorus] (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) red star burning cold (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) gravity wants our bones but we keep climbing [Bridge] if the sky is private property we’ll breach the hull and breathe vacuum instead rather burn up holding the line than ever throttle down for their dead-end orbit [Chorus] (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) red star burning cold (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) gravity wants our bones but we keep climbing [Final Chorus] (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) red star burning cold (aaaaaah… aaaaaah…) let the bourgeoisie choke on gold we’re still accelerating
