**************Verse 1**************
Science - - overcomes me suddenly
Gravity and workload smother me
Biological craft to color the drudgery
Neurological crash I need a stunning recovery
Structure is puzzling with riddles a plenty
Alien pedigree - Is this Axis of energy Ally or enemy?
Mental apogee as I decode the signal
Transmission such a tricky enigma
Source pinpointed - farthest reaches of deep space
Gotta keep pace before the data mutates
It’s like a life form born in stasis
The answer to the riddle hiding in plain sight
Like white on white - pain on pure fight in dark hours
Dark powers drawn from every dark void
Black holes drinking bottomless
glasses of photon mass
Expanding universe conquering vacuum
Disease eats at starvation
Evidence of birth from the death of what is empty
I’ll translate the message - You explain why it sent me

**************CHORUS**************
Who are you? . . .and what will you do
When I destroy . . . the planet that made you?
First I'll show you how good it can be
. . .then laugh in your face when you worship me

**************Verse 2**************
I want to beleive - *[XF Theme]*
Shouldn't we all wanna believe in humans
This alien race wants us in ruins
I'm trying to find a way
So that we can be immune
Fighting back hard with intelligent tunes
How do you start a conversation with another species?
An entity dreaming - projects thoughts and feelings
Ideas translate like speaking in graffiti
They see us as animals - not even barbaric
I tried to plead that some of our art has merrit
On a scale of thousands they rank evolutionary progress
Takes a guess where we're at? - We rated in the teens
They wanna send in machines to harvest us for protein
Because of obscene levels of fear
Fear of other cultures - fear of skin tone
"genocidal tendencies" - inscribed on our tombstone

**************Verse 3**************
Distracted driving ourselves into the ground
Lets get a round of applause for our destructors
Listen to the sounds of extermination so exciting
at this exclusive extinction event
Our own xenophobic medicine tastes like everlasting torment with
Poetic justice for all
The planet's falling has a root cause
no clause loophole or recourse to dispute laws
Our fatal flaws are essentially friendly fire
Tearing down one another when we should inspire
But we feast on the pain like vultures
Ugly sculptures have taken over in place of our reflections
The alien conclusion after deep inspection
Quarantine with self eradication
Calculations for the decay of radiation
In the future - they'll bring their kids here for vacation
