Ballad of a dying astronaut, music
Last Transmission
Lyrics:
In this void, I float, alone and tethered,
To a fate, so cold, in starlit shrouds.
A miner's dream, now lost in cosmic weather,
Voices fade, my heart beats loud.
Here I drift, in silence, vast and brooding,
A speck of life, 'gainst eternity's embrace.
Oxygen's wane, my breath's concluding,
In this final dance, this cosmic race.
Can you hear me, through the static and the starlight?
My voice, a whisper, in the infinite night.
This suit, my vessel, now failing,
In the dark, I'm sailing, towards endless night.
Memories flash, of earth and skies, so fleeting,
A family's love, a child's embrace.
These stars, my tomb, my heart's last beating,
In the abyss, I find my place.
No fear, as I gaze upon creation,
A universe, indifferent to my plight.
In this solitude, I find my liberation,
A final breath, a journey into light.
Can you hear me, through the static and the starlight?
My voice, a whisper, in the cosmic flight.
This void, my final, silent witness,
In the dark, I'm speechless, lost to the night.
So this is how my story ends,
A miner's tale, in the void suspended.
A final message, into the dark, I send,
With my last breath, this transmission ended.
