I try to call the Earth's command
Desperation in my voice
I'm drifting way off course now
With very little choice
The loneliness is hard to bear
I try to calm my fear
Just hoping any second now
Some contact filters through
Desperate calls
Signal back from satellite
As my life
Flashes right in front of me
Try again, must get through
Hear me now
For I've very little time
Not much time, hear my call
Please get through
I am here
I'm stranded in space
I'm lost with a trace
I haven't a chance of getting away
Too close to the Sun
I surely will burn
Like Icarus before me
Or so legend goes
I think of my life
Reliving the past
There's nothing but wait 'til my time comes
I've had a good life
I'll do it again
Maybe I'll come back some time afresh
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one last goodbye
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
If I could survive
To live one more time
I wouldn't be changing a thing at all
Done more in my life
Than some do in ten
I'd go back and do it all over again
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
And tell them that one last goodbye
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
There isn't much time
Must say my last rites
Nobody is here to read them to me
Must say my goodbyes
If only a line
A message to tell them in case they might find
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them that one last goodbye
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
Desperation in my voice
I'm drifting way off course now
With very little choice
The loneliness is hard to bear
I try to calm my fear
Just hoping any second now
Some contact filters through
Desperate calls
Signal back from satellite
As my life
Flashes right in front of me
Try again, must get through
Hear me now
For I've very little time
Not much time, hear my call
Please get through
I am here
I'm stranded in space
I'm lost with a trace
I haven't a chance of getting away
Too close to the Sun
I surely will burn
Like Icarus before me
Or so legend goes
I think of my life
Reliving the past
There's nothing but wait 'til my time comes
I've had a good life
I'll do it again
Maybe I'll come back some time afresh
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one last goodbye
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
If I could survive
To live one more time

The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier
The final frontier

Must say my goodbyes,
if only a line, (NOT if only a time,) (A message of one line only, at least, would be appreciated)
a message to tell them
in case they might find...
This song can mean a lot of things:
- Space
- Death
- The End Of Iron Maiden
- Whatever a listener can relate to...
Thanx
I agree with the first two posts though. It appears that this song is very much like these. I love this song most of all on the album. Slow start, but awesome ending! Up the Irons!
Would be more spacey stuff if was about space travel and stuff, instead the whole song is about dying, reflecting on his life, the possibility of reincarnation, etc
