Somebody Will by Sassafras. It's the anthem for people working on big projects (especially space) that they will not see completed.
Drivel-- the opposite of an anthem-- it's a description of how to do bad science.
The first song of this album, "The Father of Death." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWwGo28FdZ8
Tom: They've waited so long for this day (Albert: They've waited so long for this day) Someone to take the death away (There is no price they wouldn't pay) No son would ever have to say, (For someone else to lead them) "My father worked into his grave." (Don't turn your back on me!)
Men sleep tonight with hands of bone. They will awake with hands of steel. And with these hands we will destroy. And with these hands we will rebuild.
Albert: And we will stand above our city, rising high above her streets. From tops of buildings we will look at all that lies beneath our feet.
And we will raise our hands above us, cold steel shining in the sun, and with these hands that will not bleed, your father's battle will be won!
Somebody Will has beautiful lyrics. Is there a more professional recording of it somewhere?

I don't know how good the recording is.
The link appears to be broken.
Corrected. Sorry.
