lyrics

VLADAMIR KOROMOV
WAS A SOVIET COSMONAUT
HIS KNOWLEDGE AS AN ENGINEER AND TEST FLIGHT EXPERIENCE
LED TO HIS INCLUSION IN AIR FORCE GROUP ONE
THOUGH TWICE DECLARED UNFIT FOR TRAINING OR SPACEFLIGHT
HIS PERSEVERANCE AND VAST SKILL SET SOON CAME TO LIGHT
EVENTUALLY HE WOULD BE SELECTED TO LEAD
THE FIRST MULTI-MANNED SPACEFLIGHT IN HISTORY
NAMED VOSKOD ONE, THIS MISSION PRESENTED
A NUMBER OF TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS
UPON RETURNING TO EARTH KOROMOV WOULD SOON
BE TASKED WITH LEADING SOYAZ ONE IN AN ATTEMPT TO REACH THE MOON

THE FLIGHT WAS RIPE WITH MISHAPS DESPITE THE BEST EFFORTS EMPLOYED
UPON ORBITAL INSERTION THE SOLAR PANELS FAILED TO DEPLOY
THEREBY PREVENTING THE CRAFT FROM BEING FULLY POWERED
KOROMOV TRIED TO ORIENT THE SOYAZ FOR FIVE HOURS

ON HIS 19THT ORBIT KOROMOV MANUALLY REORIENTED
THE CRAFT USING THE SUN THEN HE SUCCESSFULLY REENTERED
THE ATMOSPHERE, BUT THE BRAKING PARACHUTE FAILED TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
AND THE CRAFT CRASHED TO EARTH KILLING KOROMOV INSTANTLY
