So, they come.
They’re observing our patterns from outer space.
Here they come.
They’re deciding the fate of the human race.
Do they live who keep shoving odd substances down their face?
Making art, making war, making love but at cost to place?
So, they come.
They’re observing. How long? No, they cannot say.
Here they come to decide if this human kind gets to stay
Do we live who live blindly but blind for another day?
Making art, making war making love but at cost of place.
Making love but at cost to place.
If we go... if we join them then maybe we can escape.
Dying sons of dying sons could they maybe avoid their fate?
Do we live... can we live if we’re no longer human race?
Can we live... can we be something different in outer space?
Cause we may never be the same.
If we go... If we join them in outer space...
We may never be the same.
They made their light above... The warmth we felt was love...
We knew of it there of in our dreams.
We found it hard to see how love came from machines...
How colored lights could sing In our hearts.
They came imparting fate we could not contemplate...
Since last time that we ate from the apple.
But time had passed since then...
We were not quite like them.
But now we see again...
We see colors.
They made their light above...
The warmth we felt was love...
We knew of it there of in our dreams.
