I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin straddling an atomic bomb, I dreamed of grace and annihilation weightless and atmospheric I dreamed of gravity as the tyranny of man I dreamed of a view of this world from the sun, ashes in a cosmic crematorium I dreamed of ice and fire, winter and war I dreamed of mutually assured destruction, eyes watching the sky I dreamed of watching from on high, all glory hallelujah and twinkling giants I dreamed of falling back down, arms spread in unbreakable faith I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin, alone among the stars, saint of that great abyss, smiling as he met God, and asking him in a calm and reassuring tone, where he's been all this time

Yuri Gagarin
I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin straddling an atomic bomb, I dreamed of grace and annihilation weightless and atmospheric I dreamed of gravity as the tyranny of man I dreamed of a view of this world from the sun, ashes in a cosmic crematorium I dreamed of ice and fire, winter and war I dreamed of mutually assured destruction, eyes watching the sky I dreamed of watching from on high, all glory hallelujah and twinkling giants I dreamed of falling back down, arms spread in unbreakable faith I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin, alone among the stars, saint of that great abyss, smiling as he met God, and asking him in a calm and reassuring tone, where he's been all this time
