Final Frontier
Solitary Experiments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around the world and the universe
A journey into unforeseen adventures
The beginning of a new era
Along the heaven till the horizon
Along the rainbow to the stars
The destination is the fourth dimension
Enjoy the moment of imagination
Enter the lock to supersonic
Fast forward from present into future
We have to see what the time will bring
We're travelling faster tonight
For a few seconds a light
Here in the darkness of the night
The stars are shining so bright
Cross the wall through the galaxy
A stargate's opening in front of me
Research them all discover this place
A final frontier from out of space
We're travelling faster tonight
For a few seconds a light
Here in the darkness of the night
The stars are shining so bright
Cross the wall through the galaxy
A stargate's opening in front of me
Research them all discover this place
A final frontier from out of space
