1. Sputnik-1

The first steps of humankind, a prime glance at what’s to come
Ascertain this is not impossible, and explore the unreachable

Overcoming the distance
Grasping what seems so far

Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why
How long before we hold this place?
Draw new lines on the celestial map
Some day these lands will be ours

Fathoming these stainless paths, assembling frail sheet metal
Drag us away from old Earth, and slash a way trough the uncharted

Overcoming the distance
Grasping what seemed so far

Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why
How long before we hold this place?
Draw new lines on the celestial map
Some day these lands will be ours

Tiny shreds of consciousness in the cosmic ocean
Remember the pioneers, forever sealed in our hearts
The lane has been paved by others before us
Clearing the scape for those who shall expand the trail

Fellow traveller exploring the skies
Secluded pathways orbiting our world
Astral empire designed in aether
Celestial spheres looming within reach

The cradle is way too narrow - Borderlines ought to be crossed
More awaits to be seen elsewhere - Remote shores calling are for harvest
Printed feet into stranger dust - Further havens to be called home
A bold flag floating into the void - The claim of stars has now begun

Overcoming the distance
Grasping what seemed so far

Looking up at the sky, wondering what and why
How long before we hold this place?
Draw new lines on the celestial map
Some day these lands will be ours


2. Voskhod

Dawn breaks
But it's still dark
Through the ship porthole
The stars are shining
And the blue sphere glows

The narrow cabin creaks
Screeching sounds from the dashboards
The radio crackles
The suit is ready

The air is clean here
Just like the silence
Right there outside
Biting cold and indifferent

The airlock opens slowly
One foot first, then the other

A thin metal partition
Splits the midst and the pit

Floating in nothingness
To become one with it

Tame the depths too
Like an adverse obstacle

Breathing sounds are very loud
Time doesn't really exist anymore

This darkness is so beautiful
Yet so unearthly terrifying

To be the initial front-runner
To dive into the unknown
To be the first pathfinder
To leap in Terra Incognita


3. Kudryavka

Destiny loads passengers with no boarding card
Steers them to absurd terminal destinations

Innocuous souls exploited by ambition
No one ever agreed to the stoping station

Great, immoral, remarkable, despicable
Wrong, essential, criminal, phenomenal

Not a chance to reach awareness
Just being there, breathing, living
A beating, loving, trusting heart

The horizon is vertical
For the unfortunate brigade
Future craves for a sacrifice

Soft friendly hands, hard hostile hands
Device of an epic sad tale
That will never be forgotten


4. Soyuz

Let's do it together
We are unified
A man is an atom
One common goal matters

No more alternatives
Death waits for one of us
At the end of the road
Fate is written up there

Launching is a countdown
How much more time is left?
None of this makes sense
Except that of saving face

One last bitter farewell
A last look at the Motherland
Trees slowly get smaller
The ground gently depart
And the sky calmly turns black

How many fallen heroes
Aware of their outcome
How many nameless brothers
Merely fame remain

Rest in peace brave soldier
You did not die in war
But what the world needs is cannon fodder

A metal coffin falls from the sky
A halo of fire lights it up high
A lost burning machine betraying
High speed scorching carcass returning
Dazzling bright comet blazing in the rain
Static noise drowns the screams of pain


5. Kosmonavt

Space is a sea on which no ship has ever sailed
Vastness to discover along the stellar winds
So many exotic ports to navigate to
Follow the cosmic tides where no map has been drawn

The stars will be the next gods
Of the galactic highway

Era of a new conquest
Settlers of a modern type

Farmers of the universe
Harvest these fallow pastures
Taming these strange fields
Where they will set foot first

Straddling the endless light
Adjusting their visors
Looking further, always
Galaxies, be their cattle!

The cosmos is a farm waiting for its owner
Inept inception will return to oblivion
The time of the iron grip of men will soon come
Follow their progress as they brave their hard way through

Adventurers, slowly letting void disappear
Unsung heroes expanding the realm of life
Armored knights without weapons nor ennemies
Cruising through the eternal hollow avenues

The cosmonauts shall become
Prophets beyond the frontiers
