Verse 1
Waste drums boiling on the dark side
Magnetic surge the Geiger screams
Atomic accident sky is tearing
September moon breaks from her dreams
Chain reaction Earth in the rearview
Blasted out hurled to the unknown
International outpost now a starship
Riding a dead world into the void
Pre-Chorus
We have Breakaway Breakaway
Eagles lost no way home
Chorus
MOONBASE ALPHA adrift in endless night
MOONBASE ALPHA 311 into light
We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun
ALPHA ALPHA the voyage has begun
Verse 2
Commander Koenig Landau's fire pragmatic steel
Helena Russell beating heart medical in the black
Bergman the wise white-haired prophet science against collapse
Carter on the Eagle screaming down a gravity well
Morrow at Main Mission Benes at the screens
Kano and the Computer whispering dream
Then Year Two burns in Psychon flare
MAYA metamorph Verdeschi locks and loads
Pre-Chorus
Shape and shift and never stay
One hundred souls bound away
Chorus
MOONBASE ALPHA adrift in endless night
MOONBASE ALPHA 311 into light
We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun
ALPHA ALPHA the voyage has begun
Verse 3
Charlton Comics seventy-five magazine size black and white war
Gray Morrow draws Endgame first shot fired
Byrne before the X-Men Boyette Pino Neal Adams ghost inking stars
Across the Atlantic Look-In weekly Burns and Noble bleed in color
Annuals on the newsstand black suns and lonely emperors
Black Sun Taybor Dragon's Domain War Games in four panels
Remastered now in anthologies legends resurrected for the faithful
Every page a lifeline every panel a prayer
Bridge
She was Psychon child of Mentor molecule dancer
Every monster every face she can borrow
Anomaly detected shape shift unstable
Alpha will you accept the alien
Breakdown
ON SEPTEMBER THIRTEENTH THE MOON LEFT US
ON SEPTEMBER THIRTEENTH WE LEFT THE EARTH
Chorus
MOONBASE ALPHA drawn in ink and light
MOONBASE ALPHA burning bright tonight
We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun
311 forever the comic never done
