An object hovers above a distant land. The simple townsfolk below are awe-struck, “Our gods have returned!” A tall, thin stranger descends from the craft and greets the crowd, “We have returned.”
lyrics
- The depths of space -
Narrator
A crowd of awe-struck townsfolk stare
Toward the glowing star
The light ignites the sky
Shelter sought in every single place
As the sky turns crimson red
A shape consumes the night
Eyes in the desert
Are littered about
Furtively glancing in fear and in doubt
The object it hovers
In silence until
A light it emerges, a figure within
Stranger
Come to me my people
Come listen to my words
We've come to change your future
We've come to change your world
Every single person
Must listen to these words
Just trust in us your saviours
We've come to change your world
Narrator
Children are smiling
Townsfolk -
Our gods have returned
To save us from famine
To arm us with hope
Stranger
Come to me my people
Come listen to my words
We've come to change your future
We've come to change your world
Every single person
Must listen to these words
Just trust in us your saviours
We've come to change your world
