Sts-51-L
T minus 10-9-8-7-6
We have main engine start
4-3-2-1
And lift off
Lift off of the 25th's space shuttle mission
And it has cleared the tower
Rock and roll, Challenger
Two thousand ton titan
Standing on it's launchpad
Seven sleeping souls
Dream for the last time
The engines screaming and deforming
A deafening noise drowned in waterfalls
RS 25 spitting diamond
The noise reaches our ears
There can be no flaws
Rise up colossus when the gup is torn off
That huge clouds testify to the takeoff
No one here is preparing to see our dreams of conquest burn to ashes
All are witnesses of death who deny them access to heaven
A worrying flame on the SRB
Contemplate death for three minutes before impacting sea
73 seconds of a coffin spitting fire
Separated booster wander in their falls
Separated booster wander in their falls
Seperated and floating body parts
The steel tears among with the hearts
All witnessing to the end of Challenger
Ignoring the warnings and waiting to icy finish
To sound the death knell
Macabre collection rhytmes by the swell
Recovering the vestiges of horror
The relics of disaster in a glass tomb
That the crew is not alive
I know that, that explosion shouldn't have happened when it did
I was holding my breath and crossed my fingers, I always do right before the lunch
And when I saw the fireball in the sky, I knew
No one could have survived that
That's maybe the toughest thing I've ever done in my life
We have main engine start
4-3-2-1
And lift off
Lift off of the 25th's space shuttle mission
And it has cleared the tower
Rock and roll, Challenger
Two thousand ton titan
Standing on it's launchpad
Seven sleeping souls
Dream for the last time
The engines screaming and deforming
A deafening noise drowned in waterfalls
RS 25 spitting diamond
The noise reaches our ears
There can be no flaws
Rise up colossus when the gup is torn off
That huge clouds testify to the takeoff
No one here is preparing to see our dreams of conquest burn to ashes
All are witnesses of death who deny them access to heaven
A worrying flame on the SRB
Contemplate death for three minutes before impacting sea
73 seconds of a coffin spitting fire
Separated booster wander in their falls
Separated booster wander in their falls
Seperated and floating body parts
The steel tears among with the hearts
All witnessing to the end of Challenger
Ignoring the warnings and waiting to icy finish
To sound the death knell
Macabre collection rhytmes by the swell
Recovering the vestiges of horror
The relics of disaster in a glass tomb
That the crew is not alive
I know that, that explosion shouldn't have happened when it did
I was holding my breath and crossed my fingers, I always do right before the lunch
And when I saw the fireball in the sky, I knew
No one could have survived that
That's maybe the toughest thing I've ever done in my life
