Anyone figured out lyrics of FasterThanLight - feat. Stegmar in the OST?

[First Strike]

Curious about its lyrics, just can't figure that out.

Honestly, it's probably non-sense. A lot of composers these days take Latin, Classical Greek, or Sanskrit(? You know, some dead language from Asia). And remove endings or alter roots of the words to render it unintelligible. Then get a choir to sing the syllables. It sounds ancient (or in this case Sci-Fi) but ultimately alien and unknowable.

The infamous Lorem Ipsum text is done in this exact way...I bring it up because sometimes composers will also straight up use the Lorem Ipsum text when they direct their choirs to sing tracks like this.

I kinda feel that there are some pure English words in this song, like "darkness""faster than light""see through""engines". Probably they are just pronounced vaguely but English in origin. Just like the choir for Endless Space OST.

Actually its all heavily accented english:
Stars in the sky
Floating in darkness
Soon, I will fly
Faster than Light
See through my lens (or gaze or something else entirely)
time standing down
onward to space
Engines stand by

Sense loss of time
*unintelligible*
lights flashing by
worlds unknown
Leaping into plan
Sensors reacting
And when I'm through
Faster than Light.


*Uninteligible*
Readers come in
Nothing in sight
Sun burning bright
Stars in my view
Floating in darkness
Soon I go free
Faster than Light

Thats the best I could do with what I got. If you slow it down it kinda helps, but it really can be difficult to understand at points.

If anyone can get a hold of the lyrics, I'd really appreciate it - its rare to get a song that is expressily about space travel, but there isn't any information on it anywhere.

Fantastic! Thx a lot!
It's REALLY overwhelmingly accented. Without your hints it's nearly impossible to "decipher".

Alright I got a version.

Stars in the sky
Floating in darkness
Soon I will fly
Faster than light

See through my eyes
Time standing down
Onward to space
Engines stand by

Senseless of time
Nebula's blurring
Lights flashing by
Worlds unknown
Imminent approach
Sensors reacting
Anon I'm through
Faster than light

Suddenly stop
Readings come in
Nothing in sight
Sun glowing bright
Stars in my view
Floating in darkness
Soon I'll go through
Faster than light


If above is correct, then it really got a heck of accent.

[Safe-Keeper]

Here are the official lyrics:

Stars in the sky
Floating in darkness
Soon I will fly
Faster than Light

See through my eyes
Time standing down
Onward to space
Engines Stand By

Senseless of time
Nebula’s blurring
Lights flashing by
Worlds Unknown

Imminent approach
Sensors reacting
Anon I’m through
Faster Than Light

Suddenly stop
Readings come in
Nothing in sight
Sun glowing bright

Stars in my view
Floating in darkness
Soon I’ll go through
Faster than Light
