Deserts Of Mars

On the tenth of June we landed here on mars

And we look out through the dust clouds to the stars

All around us lay a plain of burning sand

And a bitter wound flew out across the land

Not a single cosmos there to tell the past

Not a single lonely play till desert grass

This is how it really feels to be alone

Only fifty million miles away from home

I have flown here through the silent sea of space

And I dare to set my foot upon this place

On the desert lies the shadow of a man

After wind has blown his footprints from the sand

In the martian night two moons rise in the sky

And the winter cold is deeper than her sigh

And the mountains here aware since time began

And they make me feel ashamed of what I am
