about

Failed and fatal mission to the heart of the sun and beyond. Read the transcript (in lyrics section) taken from the Black Box Recorder.

lyrics


‘Solar Space Kommander Kerfoot logged in…
All co-ordinates locked in. T minus 5 minutes. Boosters booted. Space-suited. I got my black box on.
I got my black box on.
And the sun sure shone… “
Ra! Ra! Ra-Atum-Khepri…
I got my black box on.
Journey to the centre. For the core. The hardcore. The corpse corps. The solar dimension.
Past the point of no return.
Let the sun warm you, not burn you. One bad turn can turn you to ash, to a crisp. A will-o’-the-wisp.
And whispers in the wink.
D-Deficient on a one-way mission. Be efficient, even into oblivion.
Flames licked scorch-tipped wings.
Into the corona - One careful owner… Horus (of course, of course).
The solar fission tore us apart. Straight into the heart of the fireball.
27 million degrees Farenheit. A one way flight.
D-Deficient. On a one-way mission
Be efficient, even into oblivion.
Ra! Ra! Ra-Atum-Khepri
One bad turn can turn you.
God of the sun, the earth, Hades. Heaven or Las Vegas.
Past the point of no return.
Scorch tipped wings. Flames licked feathers.
Over and over and over.
The solar dimension.
That's the helium.
“Ra-Atum-Khepri sails across the sky in his solar ship.Floating his boat into the chromosphere. A trillion tiny lights, so bright that they can only pop like bulbs in a torch and drop like embers.
All forms of life here, Ra called each of them into existence. One by one
By speaking their secret names.
Ra-Atum-Khepri.
Aaah, peace.. Peaceful. Tranquility. Tranquilized.

Are we in heaven? Or Las Vegas?
Hey, I think we….” 

(Mission aborted. Whereabouts unknown).
