Laïka

[Verse] Eyes of sorrow All alone in the night Laika Your spirit soars out of sight They sent you away Left you up in the sky A sacrifice for science Never asking why [Verse] In that tiny capsule You went for the ride A one-way ticket With the truth you collide Trapped in the darkness No one to hold your hand Laika Your memory forever will stand [Verse] You were just a stray A dog on the street But they took your freedom Made your heartbeat weak In the name of progress They chose your fate Laika Your pain we can no longer negate
