In a purple vision
Many thousand years ago
I saw the silent stranger
Walk the earth alone
Twenty-seven faces
With their eyes turned to the sky
I've got a camera
And an airtight alibi
I know they're out there
We see them coming
Faster than the speed of light
They greet us in the dead of the night
Somewhere, someday, someone
They'll be light and sound
They'll alight on the ground
On which we stand
Somewhere, someday, someone
Will help us to survive
They're gonna show us hell
And bring us back alive
Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled
The lies don't count, the whispers do
I hear the whispers on the wind
They say the earth has fallen due
We run in circles
Our days are numbered
Every night I look away
To the heavens and I pray
Come to us
Come to us
Our lights are dim
Our roads are crumbling
And we don't know what to do
We're sick and tired
And dying to meet you
'Cause we bit off more than
We can chew
Many thousand years ago
I saw the silent stranger
Walk the earth alone
Twenty-seven faces
With their eyes turned to the sky
I've got a camera
And an airtight alibi
I know they're out there
We see them coming
Faster than the speed of light
They greet us in the dead of the night
Somewhere, someday, someone
They'll be light and sound
They'll alight on the ground
On which we stand
Somewhere, someday, someone
Will help us to survive
They're gonna show us hell
And bring us back alive
Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled
The lies don't count, the whispers do
I hear the whispers on the wind
They say the earth has fallen due
We run in circles
Our days are numbered
Every night I look away
To the heavens and I pray
Come to us
Come to us
Our lights are dim
Our roads are crumbling
And we don't know what to do
We're sick and tired
And dying to meet you
'Cause we bit off more than
We can chew

what they still do. Mirrors is also my favorite album, it was different, but cool still.
Close behind are Cultosaurus and Fire of Unkown.... but I like them all!!
I am sure that there would be more posts here, but especially for BOC, the song is
pretty self-explanatory. And man is it ever more and more relevant as the years go by.
They also wrote "Take me away" with a similar meaning.
I agree. We've fucked up pretty good, and it's scary. The religious freaks are going
to do something major. The planet and the weather is jacked up with carbon emissions
and global warming. I'm not religious, but there has got to be some justice, somehow,
somewhere, some time, about how greedy fucking corporations and filthy wealthy people
have raped the land, stepped on people, and pocketed billions while 20% of people are
unemployed and losing their homes. The prisons and battlefields are full of poor people.
While the rich are guilty for making all the messes.
Justice has to come some how. But we might have gone too far.
Aliens wouldn't want any part of us, seeing how we kill each other throughout time.
they are just waiting until we finally go too far, then wait for the earth to shake us off,
and colonize. hell, maybe that's already happened. There's a lot of shit that we can't
explain, like the Egyptian pyramids...
