"Left On Mars" lyrics - MARCO HIETALA

[Verse 1: Marko Hietala]
There was a child climbing a hill on a winter's night
Face up to space above and taken by the sight
Time slowed down under the blessing of the skies
Of dying stars and their billion years of light
Billion years of light

[Verse 2: Tarja Turunen, Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen]
I flew across the void of space in a waking dream
Astride a fusion flame I'm finally redeemed
To find the wonders that transcend the bounds of time
To hear the heavens sing and reach the other side

[Chorus: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen, Tarja Turunen]
Do you know (Do you know?)
That my heart still holds the rage, no
And I've turned page after page
I never chose (Never chose) to be an Alien, no
I'm just looking for a home (I'm just looking for a home)
I'm just looking for a home
I know I'm better left on Mars

[Verse 3: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen]
I see the star that gave us life in the rusted sky
The hills turn crimson as I take your hand in mine
I always thought this place was safe, and I was wrong
You chose to cross the void for me
I was made strong

[Chorus: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen]
Do you know (Do you know?)
That my Heart still holds the rage, no
And I've turned page after page
I never chose (Never chose) to be an Alien, no
I'm just looking for a home
I know I'm better left on Mars

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus: Marko Hietala, Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen, Tarja Turunen]
Do you know (Do you know?)
That my Heart still holds the rage, no
And I've turned page after page
I never chose (Never chose) to be an Alien, no
I'm just looking for a home

I think you know (Do you know?)
That my Heart still holds the rage, no
But you still believe in me
And I choose (And I choose) the mercy of your Heart
I'm just looking for a home (I'm just looking for a home)
There together we'll find home

[Outro: Marko Hietala & Tara Turunen]
Alone together, left on Mars
