Invaders

They looked at us with pity We looked at them in fear We'd found what we'd assumed was a city For decades we'd drilled to get into here Now we stood to see how they live But with no intention we'd killed something here They took us somewhere to see Their civilisation; their planet living Their technology so far beyond ours We watched their forces make ready Their commander then turned to face us As his troops were lined up ready He asked us to say something for our sins Before unleashing hell on our people living
