Marko Hietala / Tarja Turunen - 'Left on Mars' (music video)

There was a child climbing a hill on a winter's night
Face up to space above and taken by the sight
Time slowed down under the blessing of the skies
Of dying stars and their billion years of light
Billion years of light

I flew across the void of space in a waking dream
Astride a fusion flame I'm finally redeemed
To find the wonders that transcend the bounds of time
To hear the heavens sing and reach the other side

Do you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
And I've turned page after page
I never chose to be an alien, no
I'm just looking for a home
(I'm just looking for a home)
I'm just looking for a home
I know I'm better left on Mars

I see the star that gave us life in the rusted sky
The hills turn crimson as I take your hand in mine
I always thought this place was safe and I was wrong
You chose to cross the void for me
I was made strong

Do you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
And I've turned page after page
I never chose to be an alien, no
I'm just looking for a home
I know I'm better left on Mars

Do you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
And I've turned page after page
I never chose to be an alien, no
I'm just looking for a home

I think you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
But you still believe in me
And I choose the mercy of your heart
I'm just looking for a home
(I'm just looking for a home)
There together we'll find home
Alone together left on Mars
