Story behind the song
When first we started to work on this song, was just a theme on a keyboard, wrote down by Roberto (his first song wrote for TWM). But we felt something was still missing, even after we decided to place this spacey, dreamy song in it's right place: space. We chose to tell a "true fairy tale", the true story of a veteran astronaut who returned in space after so many time, living again it's dream. But still something was still missing, we were a bit "stuck", so we asked to our good friends "Gamma Leonis" (formerly "Solar Wind"), Lonesome Dave and John Worsley, if they had some idea with this song. And what you may hear here is the result. This song is destinated to our new incoming album, "The Alchemist".
Lyrics
Ride a flame into the sky Looking back from up on high The arrow streaks into the blue A miracle, to once more view An afternoon fading to a blanket of stars The pioneer returns once more With no fear of what’s in store From Friendship 7’s plunge to the sea to this voyage of Discovery The hero you were is the hero you are.
