Ignition 02:50
When I was a boy Boy I could run Run to edge of the day until darkness comes I’ll fly away reach for a place High Above the rains but listen Stars will call your name She’s my ride She’ll be the first She’ll be the rocket ship lift me from this earth I am saved Like a second birth Above the ground I will rise rise rise In A fiery burst I can’t wait to hear the word ignition Take me out Take me outta here I can’t wait to feel the engines burning Take me outta here

Take Off 02:53
Soon the stars will glisten The clouds become the sea The punishment of gravity Will lose its grip on me The radio is counting down The tower sends their best Fire burns beneath And my hands are shaking to the unknown We must go Slowly feel is rising Feel my heart beat through my chest The dream I dreamed a lifetime ago Will surely be my test. Burning through the atmosphere The odds to us unknown we Can't afford communication breakdown Where did you go Mission control feel the darkness reaching out See the clouds seem lower now Every star is bowing down Warning lights and panic Start to eat away our souls Then the gravity is finally releasing Yeah The gravity has finally surrendered Mission Control Stage 2 is go

Broken Man 03:03
Lay the cards into the sand I’ll show you a broken man Don't get stuck inside a plan Dreams die young in broken hands Nation depends on me Sea of tranquility In darkness lies mystery Commend our souls into the deep This will be a victory Progress humanity Nation’s anxiety Expectations weigh on me Am I never enough?

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace. These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice. These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding. They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown. In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man. In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood. Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts. For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

about

Cut Throat Finches Fort Worth, Texas

Songwriter Sean Russell, a proud resident of the Ft Worth music scene, formed the band mid-2015 with a group of much-lauded players from the area, all of whom were involved in various projects of their own.
With the Finches, affection for eclectic music runs deep, as almost a proud obsession of the obscure, and their connection in the studio, blends together like a well-crafted adult beverage.
