IGNEA - Sputnik lyrics

Today a new moon is in the sky: a 23-inch
Metal sphere placed in orbit by a Russian
Rocket here an artist's conception
Of how the feat
Was accomplished - a three-stage
Rocket number one, the
Booster in the class of an
Intercontinental missile it's weight
Estimated at 50 tons a
Smaller second-stage took over at 5
000 miles-an-hour and carried on to
The highest point reached five
Hundred miles up
The artificial moon is boosted to a speed
Counterbalancing the pull of
Gravity and released

Iron head, iron spears
Spread out from sides away
Shiny globe without fears
Flies over skies again

Soviet star first of all
Was in the boundless space
But what if it's sign of call
The first assigned phrase?

Sputnik, Sputnik
The signal from the other ones
Sputnik, Sputnik they hadn't any red stars
Sputnik, Sputnik the greetings from above
Sputnik, Sputnik alien tapering throw

Iron blades, iron grim
They're now awaiting us
Shining alien warrior trim
Or maybe they're amidst us

Poor primates, prepare to lay
They need our planet's air
For thousand years you'll be a clay
For those years here's their lair

Sputnik, Sputnik
The signal from the other ones
Sputnik, Sputnik they hadn't any red stars
Sputnik, Sputnik the greetings from above
Sputnik, Sputnik alien tapering throw
Earth people, look upside and you'll see
They are here
