lyrics

Our supply ship is four days late,
And now the communication systems are down
Will we be found?

At the time it was so romantic,
Pioneering a planet - uncharted ground,
But where are we now?

We all knew of the risks inherent,
Wearing glasses of rose-tint
Now darkness enshrouds,
What was that sound?

(Hold on) Hold on one more day
(Hold on) Help will come our way
(Hold on) Hold on one more day
(Hold on) Help will come our way

Warning screams from a hostile creature,
Spine-shivering sound that haunts my brief dreams
Now I can't sleep

Captain says that the atmosphere,
Is thinning with every hour - there's no relief
I struggle to breathe

(Chorus)

My wife and daughter
Wish I could tell them,
I love them so
What if they knew I was not coming home anymore
Now it's time for me to let go
