"Down In Flames" by Nomaditsu

Captain on the bridge, alarms are blaring red
Systems failing faster than the countdown overhead
Crew is panicking but I've got this smile instead
As we're heading for the asteroid belt dead ahead
They think I've lost my mind, gone completely insane
As I laugh while plotting course through the danger lane

But they don't understand what I've come to know
Every crash and burn is just part of the show
There's method to my madness, there's purpose in my play
When you've done this a thousand times, you see it a different way

Watch us go down, down, down in flames
Stars exploding all around
I'm at the wheel, no fear, no doubt
This captain's never felt so proud
Going down, down, down in flames
With this strange smile on my face
'Cause every ending's just a page
In the manual of getting great

Lieutenant's screaming "Sir, we've lost our navigation!"
Engines overheating past the point of salvation
I just tilt my head and say "Fascinating...
Let's see how she handles with manual operation"
They're calling for evacuation, calling me insane
As I'm steering us straight into the supernova's reign

But they don't understand what I've come to know
Every crash and burn is just part of the show
There's method to my madness, there's purpose in my play
When you've done this a thousand times, you see it a different way

Watch us go down, down, down in flames
Stars exploding all around
I'm at the wheel, no fear, no doubt
This captain's never felt so proud
Going down, down, down in flames
With this strange smile on my face
'Cause every ending's just a page
In the manual of getting great

Three, two, one... simulation complete
Take off the headset, step out of the seat
A hundred disasters, a hundred defeats
That's how you master what others retreat
Failure's not final when nothing's at stake
Except for the lessons that each crash can make
So bring on destruction, bring on the flames
'Cause we got nothing to lose when nothing's real pain

So we go down, down, down in flames
Stars exploding all around
I'm at the wheel, no fear, no doubt
This captain's never felt so proud
Going down, down, down in flames
With this strange smile on my face
'Cause every ending's just a page
In the manual of getting great
