Like lightning they came down from the sky
I thought to but never asked them why
As free men they came down from a place
And wrought a change upon the human race
And we called them kings of the star-field sky
But never wondered why
And they called us the children but we gave no love
They came down from above
The ice came and it left them blind
They were cold but we were so unkind
So we prayed to the kings of the star-void sky
But there was no reply
Now we hide in the shadows, very soon you know
They'll come up from below
Just because one time Man had the upper hand
Doesn't mean we're not the victim but the victor
If we're ever to discover the past
In a visit from another race
Our fathers killed our distant brother
Just because the sky is big and wide doesn't mean
We'll always be alone and safe among the heavens
As you're looking at the grains of sand
Understand if you can
That it's possible this isn't our home
Light years have come and gone our way
Most of those have passed away but we have gone astray
I believe I've seen the sign
We'll be eons past our prime... this time
So we slay all kings with the hand of a god
Just killed them and forgot
All alone again we await the sign
Fear we're running out of time
They came down from above
They came down from above
