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
