The Martian Freight

Verse 1

Silver

Freight hulls

Heavy with the rot

Iron crates for the Red Planet

The paper trail turns to ash today

I watched them haul the lead

Heavy

Hiding

Secrets in the belly of the ship

Cold steel containers packed with every lie

They sell the clean air up there

With blood on the manifest

Tainted hands

Tainted maps

Tainted souls

Chorus

It's going up

It's going up

To the new world

All the dirt we found

All the shame we owned

Launch it to the stars

Let the fire burn it clean

It's going up

It's going up

Verse 2

Rust

Caking on the landing gear

Governments trade the truth for soil

A million files buried under red dust

The past is a debt

Unpaid

Forgotten

Broken by the distance and the speed

Gravity won't hold the sins back

A ledger of the dead

Left behind

In the mud

In the rain

In the dark

Chorus

It's going up

It's going up

To the new world

All the dirt we found

All the shame we owned

Launch it to the stars

Let the fire burn it clean

It's going up

It's going up

Bridge

Exporting the poison

Exporting the pain

Exporting the silence

Black ink on the black horizon

The sky is a landfill

For the kings

And the killers

And the ghosts

Guitar Solo

Chorus

It's going up

It's going up

To the new world

All the dirt we found

All the shame we owned

Launch it to the stars

Let the fire burn it clean

It's going up

It's going up

Outro

Red dust

Clean slate

Dirty hands

Dirty hands

Dirty hands

The shuttle leaves

The record stays

Nothing changes

Nothing ends

Just moves

Away

Far away
