Arjen Lucassen’s Supersonic Revolution - The Rise Of The Starman (Official Visualizer)
Listen/Order:
Dear friends, here is the second single from Supersonic Revolution!
My guess is that a lot of people will think this lyric is about David Bowie. But they would only be partly right… it is actually about his fictional character Ziggy Stardust. Ziggy was an alien character that Bowie created back in the early 70s with his album ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’. I have to admit that I never really understood the deeper meaning behind this concept album, but I did my best to give it my own spin here! Alien creatures land on Earth with a mission to set the children free. The aliens only have 5 years to do this, but they fail hopelessly. Ziggy dies on stage. But… Bowie lived on, and how!
Very curious to read what you think of this one... enjoy and thanks in advance!
Arjen.

Lyrics:
As if out of nowhere they fell to earth
Space invaders on a quest to save the world
We’ve got five years of pain until we die
Only five years remain, what a surprise
You and me, right here for all to see
The rise of the Starman
He will bring salvation, saw in a dream
He’ll convey a message of hope and relief
Only five years are left before our fall
A lousy five years at best, that’s all we’ve got
You and me, one day he’ll set us free
The rise of the Starman
And then out of nowhere he set the world on fire
This cosmic messenger of dreams blew our minds
He’s got five years of fame before he dies
Only five years remain, what a surprise
You and I, we will never ever die
The rise of the Starman
As the kids were cheering he paid the price of fame
On his final night he gave it all and died on stage
Only five years were left before he fell
A lousy five years at best, inside this hell
You and I, saw him waiting in the sky
The rise and fall of the Starman
