about

The second single release from the upcoming second album 'Green Mars' from Viriditas

lyrics

One decision can change a lifetime, and for sure this one mixed up mine
A sheer sense of the colossal task ahead, I hesitate to cross the line

But in a minute, it's gone
Adventure's there just open the door
In a second, all is fine
It's an escape from the same routine

And as I'm laying restless, with the clock counting down the time
The weight of the world crushing into me, as I gasp for breath deaf and blind

But in a minute, it's gone
And I'm weightless surrounded by laughter
In a moment, the pain has passed
And there is no turning back hereafter

Cast off the fear of your dependency and leave it all behind
We are the guardians, the shield of your body and mind
Within this steel sanctuary, secrecy on which you can rely
Fear not this vessel or the passage of the stars
Remember it got you this far, it's the state of the art

Choice made can't go back now, each step brings me further away
Start to forget my quest, as the numbers surpass the days

But in a minute, it returns
This mission is once in a lifetime
In a second, it's revealed
No one else knows this path that I take

Cast off the fear of your dependency and leave it all behind
We are the guardians, the shield of your body and mind
Within this steel sanctuary, secrecy on which you can rely
Fear not this vessel or the passage of the stars
Remember it got you this far, it's the state of the art

A Lifetime in transit it seems, and all wandering thoughts have turned to you
The million miles seem like nothing, and the pain still seems so new
I wonder where you could be now, does your anger still burn so black
The moment is gone, no need for concern, you can never go back

Cast off the fear of your dependency and leave it all behind
We are the guardians, the shield of your body and mind
Within this steel sanctuary, secrecy on which you can rely
Fear not this vessel or the passage of the stars
Remember it got you this far, it's the state of the art
