THE RESCUE

(Tune: "Die Welle")

Midnight on the sands of Mars
Under the unwinking stars
Two moons racing through the sky
Here I sit and wait to die.

Crashed my ship upon the sand
Power died beneath my hand
Far from any human face
Soon of me there'll be no trace

Then across the sky it screams
Something from a madman's dreams
Like a spider straight from hell
Holds me fast in terror's spell.

Petrified I watch it land
Slowly sink beneath the sand
Then my sanity is torn
By the shriek of evil born

Where was one I see a pair
Rising through the Martian air
And as overhead they fly
Here I sit and wait to die.
