Blue Oyster Cult - The VigilLyrics

In a purple vision Many thousand years ago I saw the silent stranger Walk the earth alone Twenty-seven faces With their eyes turned to the sky I've got a camera And an airtight alibi I know they're out there We see them coming Faster than the speed of light They greet us in the dead of the night Somewhere, someday, someone They'll be light and sound They'll alight on the ground On which we stand Somewhere, someday, someone Will help us to survive They're gonna show us hell And bring us back alive Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled The lies don't count, the whispers do I hear the whispers on the wind They say the earth has fallen due We run in circles Our days are numbered Every night I look away To the heavens and I pray Come to us Come to us Our lights are dim Our roads are crumbling And we don't know what to do We're sick and tired And dying to meet you 'Cause we bit off more than We can chew
