lyrics

As I awoke I saw the strangest sign
three white souls
and they pressed their bodies next to mine

And I reached for my robe
I became paralyzed
And they looked in my eyes
I felt so sick inside

These little men beside my bed
are pressing something to my head
My body rose in new rebirth
we soared above the reeling earth

And I, through hindsight, still can see
their vacant eyes
And I'm still paralyzed

I awoke a hand was touching me
It's just my wife oh god it's all a dream
well, I think, I can't recall too much of anything
but there's a voice that echoes in my brain

"Don't close your eyes
don't turn your face
we are the superior race
Don't be surprised
the earth's our home
we built the pyramids of stone

The books you found
were meant for you
we wrote them so
you'd be confused
You were not planned
you just evolved
from fowl and fish
and apes and frogs

We're power, life
and energy
You're measly spools
of chemistry
Your kind will die
one thousand deaths
for that I harbor no regret

For you
are animals inside
a gilded cage
And we
are the one and only
human race."
