They Came For Us - Act 2
Weeks have passed, since they were last here
We have lost so many, many still in trance like fears
The ones who escaped this terrible time
Are the mute and the deaf, or underground like the mines
We are left at a loss as to when they return
What can we do, no military to yearn
We witnessed many shuttles and spaceships en masse
Our population in demise no matter the class
The ones who are able to the surface they go
Bringing back water and supplies, viewing a city in woe
We could never imagine the quietness of it all
But we sense their return in numbing pall
We awake early morning to the sounds of lashing rain
For we know they are here to pillage once again
The unlucky ones to the shuttles they go
We can only protect so many, keep them safe down below
Their visits continued for many many years
Millions were taken, but we got used to our fears
We still walk the streets, of our deserted cities and towns
Its so surreal and unimaginable, when there is no one around
