One False Step Songtext / Lyric

History's been told through aperture

The eye observes lie

The future in shades of black and white

Cast the shadows, dim the truth

No wasted film, no rehearsal



You'll never see the color of the truth

Intangible haze

Denial sinking teeth deep into the naive

Huston we've found the best solution

To the problem at hand

Lights, camera, action






Give me quiet on the set

And turn your focus to forgery

Fake the voyage young cadet

Remember your lines

It's "One small step for mankind"

Make them believe

Make them believe that we've won the race

We are the power, we set the pace

Don't close the hatch

Don't close the hatch



Caution to the crosshairs

The last thing we need is a skeptic

A cynic, a smoking gun

The race is underway but we've already won



Cast the shadows, dim the truth

No wasted film, no rehearsal

Shot down, gutted, and stuffed

A thirty billion dollar eagle's

Landed amongst white sand

America snorts up the dust

That the capsules kicking up

It buries the rotten bird



Give me quiet on the set

And turn your focus to forgery

Fake the voyage young cadet

Remember your lines

It's "One small step for mankind"

Make them believe

Make them believe that we've won the race

We are the power, we set the pace

Don't close the hatch



We'll shoot

We'll shoot the moon



Transcend the futile task

Diluted reality



Give me quiet on the set

And turn your focus to forgery

Fake the voyage young cadet

Remember your lines

It's "One small step for mankind"

Make them believe

Make them believe that we've won the race

We are the power, we set the pace

Don't close the hatch

Don't close the hatch
