Circling Overland

Front 242

1-1-2029, the stars are shining bright

Nerves connected to the center, we are tied to the machine

Invisible and silent, circling overland

The plane makers designed us to out-turn and outmaneuver

Intruders in the skies, intruders in our skies



1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright



Backbone of the fighter force, of the defense industry

Devoted tools of the power, warrants of the order

1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright

Invisible and silent, we are circling overland

Circling overland, circling overland

Silicon advisers leading the way

We reach our cruising altitude

1-1-2029, West Europe, midnight

Invisible and silent, circling overland

Scanning, taping, filing, instantly checking

Every human, car, and plane of the quarters we survey

Circling overland
