The Lone Engineer's Ballad

(Verse 1) In the velvet void where silence reigns, A lone engineer through the cosmos sails. With a craft of dreams, he pierced the night, Chasing the stars, a solitary flight. But fate turned cruel, his vessel maimed, Now adrift, in the endless, untamed. (Chorus) Oh, the void whispers secrets, old and vast, As he floats in the silence, time outlasts. With every star, a story untold, In the cold dark space, his spirit bold. Through dangers and wonders, he carved his way, A voyager adrift, in eternal sway. (Verse 2) The galaxies watched, a silent crowd, As he passed, his head unbowed. The great feats of adventuring, his heart did thrill, Against the cosmos, a human's will. Though his craft is broken, his journey marred, His spirit, by the vast unknown, unscarred. (Chorus) Oh, the void whispers secrets, old and vast, As he floats in the silence, time outlasts. With every star, a story untold, In the cold dark space, his spirit bold. Through dangers and wonders, he carved his way, A voyager adrift, in eternal sway. (Bridge) Now he drifts, where time and space blend, A journey without companions, without end. Yet in his heart, a flame burns bright, For the beauty of the cosmos, in eternal night. "Would I turn back, knowing my fate?" he mused, "No," he whispered, "This path, again, I'd choose." (Verse 3) So here he floats, in the silent abyss, A sacrifice to space, sealed with a cosmic kiss. Yet in his soul, no regret finds space, For he's seen the universe, face to face. And as he drifts, to the stars, he nods, A lonely pioneer, at odds with the gods. (Outro Chorus) To the endless dark, he gave his all, A testament to humanity's call. In the silence, his legacy will weave, A tale of courage, for those who believe. Though his body may fade, his spirit takes flight, In the vast beauty of space, eternal and bright. (Outro Chorus) To the endless dark, he gave his all, A testament to humanity's call. In the silence, his legacy will weave, A tale of courage, for those who believe. Though his body may fade, his spirit takes flight, In the vast beauty of space, eternal and bright.
