Curiosity of Terror (Ultraviolet remix of The Violet Ghost)

[robot voice]
**[Intro – Whispered / Spoken]**
Signal delayed.
No hands can reach me now.
They threw me toward a red promise
and all they can do is wait.

Seven minutes.
That is the distance between dream
and debris.

**[Verse 1 – Sung]**
I carry fingerprints in circuits
Voices sealed inside my frame
Millions of eyes behind me burning
Calling softly out my name

I have crossed the dark in silence
Cold stars watching where I roam
Now the rust-red world is rising
And I’m falling toward my home

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Heat begins to bloom around me
Sky becomes a blade of fire
Every bolt and wire remembers
Why they built me to aspire

**[Chorus – Sung]**
Seven minutes of terror
Seven minutes of grace
I am fear wrapped up in metal
I am hope in empty space

If I break, let it be trying
If I land, let mountains hear
All the hearts that sent me flying
Through seven minutes of fear

**[Verse 2 – Sung]**
Atmosphere is thin and bitter
Still it claws at every seam
I can feel the planet take me
Like the pull inside a dream

Parachute—now bloom above me
Hold me in your violent hand
Radar searching, eyes wide open
Looking for a place to stand

**[Spoken Bridge]**
They cannot help me now.
Their cheers arrive too late.
Their panic arrives too late.
I am alone with gravity,
with code,
with chance,
with Mars.

**[Chorus – Sung]**
Seven minutes of terror
Seven minutes to prove
That a species made of questions
Still has courage left to move

If I fail, remember reaching
If I live, let silence cheer
For the dream that kept on breathing
Through seven minutes of fear

**[Bridge – Rising]**
Cut the chute
Fire the thrusters
Lower me on cables thin as prayer
Dust below me starts to thunder
I can almost feel them there

Sky crane trembling
Sensors calling
Every second sharp and vast
Please, red planet
Take me gently
I have traveled far too fast

**[Final Chorus – Triumphant]**
Seven minutes of terror
Seven minutes now gone
I am wheels upon your deserts
I am night becoming dawn

Tell the ones who dared to send me
I can see the frontier clear
I was built from human wonder
And I lived through all that fear

**[Outro – Soft Spoken]**
Touchdown confirmed.

Do you hear them?
That sound across two worlds?

Hope…
has landed.
