RIDE THE FIRE (APOLLO 1)
Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale

Gotta realize there's a
fundamental truth to our nature...
Man must explore!
Man must explore!

Gotta realize there's a
fundamental truth to our nature...
Man must explore!
Man must explore!

Ride The Fire!

Three minutes past the hour!
Ignition sequence start...
Lift off!
We have lift off!

Three minutes past the hour!
Ignition sequence start...
Lift off!
We have lift off!

Ride The Fire!

I believe that this nation
should commit itself,
commit itself,
to achieving the goal,
the goal,
before this decade is out,
is out,
of landing a man on the moon,
a man on the moon,
the moon,
a man on the moon,
and returning him,
safely to the Earth,
to the Earth,
safely,
safely to the Earth...

The approprate spacecraft...
liquid fueled boosters...
The appropriate lunar spacecraft...
liquid fueled boosters...
larger larger larger...
than any now being developed...
but in a very real sense,
it will not be one man
going to the moon...
it will be an entire nation...

T-minus twenty seconds and counting!
fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven...
We have ignition sequence start!
Engines on!
Five, four, three, two...
All engines running!
Liftoff!
We have liftoff!
Forty-nine minutes past the hour!

The tower is clear!
The tower is clear!
The tower is clear!

Ride The Fire!

NASA investigators
continue their probe
of a tragic flash fire
that killed Apollo astronauts
Grissom, White, and Chaffee...
The blackened shell
of their capsule
may still hold the clue
to the cause of the
swiftly spreading flames...

While scientists
develop a fire-proof fabric
for Apollo space suits,
and a new hatch
that will open
in three seconds,
America's
man-on-the-moon timetable
still aims
for a landing by 1970...

Ride The Fire!
