Now We Are The Aliens

(album: Empyrean - 2016)

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...
