Moonbase Alpha (The Voyage Has Begun)

Verse 1

Waste drums boiling on the dark side

Magnetic surge the Geiger screams

Atomic accident the 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 pragmatic steel commander

Helena Russell beating heart in the black

Bergman the wise white-haired prophet

Carter screaming down a gravity well

Morrow at Main Mission Benes at the screens

Kano and the Computer whispering dream

Year Two burns in Psychon flare

Maya the molecule shifter locks and loads

Pre-Chorus

We have Breakaway

Breakaway

The moon is gone from 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

Bridge

She was Psychon child of Mentor

Molecule dancer every face she borrows

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 Charlton blood and light

Moonbase Alpha Look-In strips that burned so bright

We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun

Alpha Alpha the legend never done
