Mars Approach / Lost On Mars / At The Base
Words and Music by Terry Brown
2024
I stepped down on red dust empty
Base one echoes quiet hollow
Where’d they go nobody left a trace
Silent halls whisper secrets shallow
Machinery still hums in the deep
No one around to greet my call
Spaceships parked like silent titans
Deserted rooms cold metal walls
Why they leave this place so still
Mystery hangs in the space filled air
Where’s the life that lived and thrilled
Vanished souls from Mars don’t fare
Footprints lead to nowhere fast
Screens still blink with endless code
Stories lost in the endless past
Hidden truth in the overload
What did they see what drove them away
What do these silent halls conceal
Mars base one in endless sway
Darkness hides what light reveals
Why they leave this place so still
Mystery hangs in the space filled air
Where’s the life that lived and thrilled
Vanished souls from Mars don’t fare
