[Riff 2a+2b] w/ lyrics:

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast.
Up into the night sky they blast.
Through the universe the engines whine.
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low.
Ev'rywhere is misery and woe.
Pollution kills the air, the land, and sea.

With [Fill 1]:

Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah.

[Riff 2a+2b] w/ lyrics:

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast.
Up into the black sky so vast.
Burning metal through the atmosphere.
Earth remains in worry, hate, and fear.
With the hateful battles raging on,
Rockets flying to the glowing sun.
Through the empires of eternal void,

With [Fill 1]:

Freedom from the final suicide.

With [Riff 4]:

Freedom fighter sent out to the sun.
Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution.
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate.
Find another world where freedom waits, yeah.

[Riff 2a+2b] x4

[Riff 2a+2b] w/ lyrics:

Past the stars in fields of ancient void,
Through the shields of darkness where they find
Love upon the land, a world unknown,
Where the songs of freedom make their home.
Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves.
Leave them to their future in their graves.
Make a home where love is there to stay.

With [Fill 1]:

Peace and happiness in every day.

                                two-guitar section. I will leave out
                                guitar II because I'll assume you can't
                                play two parts at once.
     Gtr. I breaks off here \/
