Lyrics
Fragile Horizon - Apollo 13
by Gerald G 
©Copyright 2025

V1

They drifted far from home, 

Three hearts burning bright, 
In the dark they roamed. 

Dreams held high like the rockets that flew, 

A voyage to the moon, for the red, white, and blue.

Chorus
They sailed through the void with hope as their guide,
Each breath hard-won, each wire tied tight.
The stars stood witness, silent and cold,
Apollo’s lost angels, fearless and bold.


V2
 In the cradle of the sky, oxygen grew thin, 

The world held its breath, for their fate lay within. 

Numbers and minds turned night into day, 

Guiding them home, through the perilous fray.


V3
Through the void they sailed, on a prayer and hope, 

Every breath a battle, every wire a rope. 

The stars watched in silence as heroes endured, 

Apollo's fallen angels, strong and assured.

Instrumental


V4
And when the capsule broke the sea, 

Tears like rain fell endlessly. 

The sky released its silent hold, 

Their story forever told.


Chorus

They sailed through the void with hope as their guide,
Each breath hard-won, each wire tied tight.
The stars stood witness, silent and cold,
Apollo’s lost angels, fearless and bold


Outro
 In the book of stars, their names remain, 

A testament to those who faced the flame. 

Apollo 13, a tale so bright, 

Of human will, and an endless fight

Wowzer! Only you could capture this history in such fashion.
Your choice of sounds put me back there when it was happening, but also enabled me to imagine myself in the craft with the astronauts. 
Musically, in terms of overall feel, the middle instrumental section reminded me some of an old fave King Crimson song: "In The Wake Of Poseidon."
As always Gerald, you let the arrow fly and hit the bullseye!
