Космодром Байконур
In the desert of Kazakhstan, towers made of metal rise high
From this base Russia goes to space, her adversaries keep a watchful eye
ICBMs with the means to explore, missile silos, airplanes and more
Global threats, or civil assets? A legacy of cold war
Near the Syr Darya river, acid rain falls from the sky
Our people died, but we won
Yuri Gagarin, Sergei Krikalev, Valentina Tereshkova
All heroes, they all launched from there
Baikonur Cosmodrome, space's Russian home
Cosmodrome Baikonur, tragedy endured
They persevered in service to the final frontier
Tensions rise and fall over time, superpowers on a global scale
Insulated from world politics, a legacy of science prevails
Differing ideals, recognizing flaws, partnering despite all odds
Without that base sending humans into space the ISS would have been lost
Accidents cost us the race to the moon
But we still promoted science in many ways
Soyuz, Buran, Vostok and Mir, Energia, Foton, Luna,
Molniya, Almaz, Sputnik, Proton, Zond, Salyut Vega Venera
Baikonur Cosmodrome, space's Russian home
Cosmodrome Baikonur, tragedy endured
They persevered in service to the final frontier
Yuri Gagarin, Sergei Krikalev, Valentina Tereshkova
All heroes, they all launched from there
Differing ideals, recognizing flaws, partnering despite all odds
Without that base sending humans into space the ISS would have been lost
Baikonur Cosmodrome, space's Russian home
Cosmodrome Baikonur, tragedy endured
They persevered in service to the final frontier
They persevered in service to the final frontier
From this base Russia goes to space, her adversaries keep a watchful eye
ICBMs with the means to explore, missile silos, airplanes and more
Global threats, or civil assets? A legacy of cold war
Near the Syr Darya river, acid rain falls from the sky
Our people died, but we won
Yuri Gagarin, Sergei Krikalev, Valentina Tereshkova
All heroes, they all launched from there
Baikonur Cosmodrome, space's Russian home
Cosmodrome Baikonur, tragedy endured
They persevered in service to the final frontier
Tensions rise and fall over time, superpowers on a global scale
Insulated from world politics, a legacy of science prevails

Cosmodrome Baikonur, tragedy endured
They persevered in service to the final frontier
They persevered in service to the final frontier
