They Came For Us - Final Act
Another day we awake, in this desolate world
Years of debris in continuing swirl
In the town where i stay, we have rallied and done
We have underground points, where we frequently run
We always discussed, the times they came back
And wondered the reason why they never attacked
We marvelled at their technology, as they gathered together
And marched us in trances, never having to tether
What would they want, with billions of people like us
Our discussion gets angry as we enter into cuss
Were we to be slaves, or even worse than that
Out there and beyond, we have become just a stat
Then one winters day we awoke to heavy rain
For we knew from the deluge, they had come back again
This time was different as we watched as they land
Something so simple, for years we had planned
The amount of shuttles was never like before
In sporadic landings, as they opened their doors
We ventured forward in trance like walks
Showing no emotion, only our eyes talked
As we get to the doors, into the shuttles we fire
Shooting at random as our fears aspire
Their doors start to close, but before they depart
We hope for victory, and show them humans are smart
In their exodus as they head back to the light
On board they carry, many an exploding device
For before their doors closed, inside we threw
Man made killers, from our murderous menu
We look on in hope as they reach the light
As they disappear through the clouds and out of sight
Minutes pass as we witness our goal
A blinding light leaves us in joyous extol
Debris drifts down and all around
Who ever they were, they now scatter our grounds
Drastic measures called for drastic decisions
All us fighting adults and me, they are now deaf by incision
From this day forward we will all start anew
The billions we were, erased to a few
We must educate and learn from our past
For we now have the honour, to make us humans last
