Mirror on the Crust

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Tin foil crowns

Resting on a restless brow

Calculating fake shadows in the gray sand

Low resolution logic failing fast

Pre-Chorus

Forty-four thousand men

Stared into the black

Watching a fire breath

While the planet stayed still

Chorus

Cross the belt of fire

The grain of film survives the heat

Mirrors on the crust

Left to prove the giant leap

Left to prove it all

Proof upon the dust

Verse 2

Soviet eyes watched every mile

Tracing the heat across the high silence

Nobody called a foul from the Kremlin wall

Flags waving in a vacuum of momentum

Pre-Chorus

Forty-four thousand men

Stared into the black

Watching a fire breath

While the planet stayed still

Chorus

Cross the belt of fire

The grain of film survives the heat

Mirrors on the crust

Left to prove the giant leap

Left to prove it all

Proof upon the dust

Bridge

Rocks in a vault

Data in a disk

Numbers in the sky

The metal didn't melt

The rocket didn't tilt

The truth is out of reach for some

Chorus

Cross the belt of fire

The grain of film survives the heat

Mirrors on the crust

Left to prove the giant leap

Left to prove it all

Proof upon the dust
