Lyrics

Human Rocket

I am a human rocket

On a mission of deployment

I've been cocked and loaded

Ready for the culmination

I am a human missile

Guided by a secret ‘genda

That commands my every thoughts and deeds

Wills me on my way

I am a human rocket

On a mission of redemption

I've been cocked and loaded

Primed by everything I know

I am a human missile

Guided by a secret voice

That commands my every action

And wills me on my way

There is no turning back

There are no second thoughts

First things first and all things fair

Be it love or war, they say

There is no plan named B

On the land, in the air, or on the sea

This is whatʼs supposed to be

My duty now awaits me

I am a human rocket

On a mission of instruction

I've been primed and programmed

Since the beginning of time

I am a human missile

Guided by a secret master

That commands my every motion

And wills me on my way

I've found my target

I've reached my co-ordinates

|’m set to detonate and resonate

The final poem I will create

I've made a video

It tells a story, oh…

I guess it’s time to go

Don’t forget to rewind

[Guitar solo]

I am a human rocket

On a mission of destruction

I've been locked and loaded

And ready for the confirmation

I am a human missile

Guided by a secret perfection

That commands my full conviction

And wills me on my way

Large parts of the experience

Will go by unnoticed

We are all distracted by the lights and sounds

Of everything and nothing

Do you remember the breath you took

When they let you off the hook

And sent you swimming away

Back into your cell?

I am a human rocket

On a mission of reduction

I've been cocked and loaded

Since the dawn of time

I am a human missile

Guided by a secret voice

That commands my every thought and deed

And wills me on my righteous way
