A flame cuts the darkness of the night
a strange object swallowed by a passing cloud
someone down there says: "He’s goin’right!"
There ain’t be much time 'till he'll touch ground...
The aim of a lifetime was to be gained
finally his target had been pointed out with a name...

"My God, I'm flying!
Hey, you! Whatever you are, try to catch me now!
I'm travellin' eight hundred miles an hour
higher than the most tall tower
I'm smoothly reachin' the top
and then I'll let myself drop...

Seems I left a very long time ago
since someonedecided to shoot me in some far Bureau...
But what I'm doin' up here?
Has this been my life dream,
I've been waiting for this for a year...

I was conceived by a wise brain (wise brain)
my armed head is loaded with human pain
I want no one to think that I intentionally made them sink!
I'm tryin' with all my strength to miss the aim,
so please don't put blame on me!
So please forgive me all I did!

If I could have decided by myself
I wouldn't have left my lonely shelf
someone down there said: "He’s goin' right!"
I would have liked to see him on this fuckin' flight!
The aim of my lifetime is to be gained
finally my target had been pointed out with a name...

Hey, you! Whatever you are, get off my way now!
I've been launched by a few human pigs
who blindly follow some dictators freaks
foolish laughing at death...
May Lord betray you!"
