now we are the aliens

Singer:lord of the lost

we're singing those

old rebel songs

they thought they'd banned

some fortitude

on our voyage

to unknown lands

i reassure

all her concerns

with little belief

damaged by life

nearly spent

two refugees

will they welcome us?

we're the aliens

who knows

friend or foe?

arms opened wide

or fists clenched?

how will they judge us

now we're the aliens?

i don't know

we pose no threat

for we come with

peaceful intent

please focus on

what unifies

not what's different

who knows

friend or foe?

will they empathise

or demonise?

well we're only lowly

homo sapiens

will they welcome us?

we're the aliens

who knows

friend or foe?

we're the aliens

we're the aliens

through the tension

i dwell on my failures

she placed her faith in

this empty saviour

sad

i know.
