All through the night They hang in the sky No movement yet And I wonder why Are they waiting, planning, scheming? Am I seeing, believing, dreaming? Last day on Earth Last day on Earth No-one feels safe No-one goes out I'm not afraid To leave my house Are they waiting, planning, scheming? Am I seeing, believing, dreaming? Last day on Earth Last day on Earth What do they want? Where are they from? When will they strike? Will we be done? Are they waiting, planning, scheming? Am I seeing, believing, dreaming? Last day on Earth Last day on Earth

When I was just a young boy I used to walk my dog I'd look up at the starry sky And wonder if I saw A bright light in the heavens Slipping across the night When I was in my teen years My mind was deep in space I knew there must be others From some galactic place My gaze fixed on the night sky Looking for a sign Take me along Across the universe... I want to hear your song Music to my ears... I want to know I belong Cuz I don't feel I do... And now I'm in my last years And time is running out You're sitting in the sky above And I feel so left out I spent my whole life waiting Waiting for you to come Take me along Across the universe... I want to hear your song Music to my ears... I want to know I belong Cuz I don't feel I do... Take me along Across the universe... I want to hear your song Music to my ears... I want to know I belong Cuz I don't feel I do...

To the untrained eye it would seem to appear That their very existence would be obviously clear As they haven't shown malice in any regard They're revealing themselves in our own backyard To the untrained eye it would seem to suggest Their intentions are good and it's all for the best As they haven't fired lasers or heat rays and such We should be quite secure and go on pretty much But I pose this question and it must be asked Why come to our planet if there is no task Why hang in the sky being silent for weeks If there is no plot to destroy what they seek Can anyone say with conviction and might That all they intend is to better our lives Who knows at this moment if something's amiss They could slowly be frying us all to a crisp As time passes by with no obvious threats We're becoming complacent and we mustn't forget That these objects or things could be killing us off It could start with an ache, it could start with a cough Now I'm not suggesting that we launch a first strike We don't know for sure they're endagering our lives But we mustn't get used to the fact that they're here Let's keep our eyes open and keep our minds clear

Trapped 03:57
Trapped like a rat in a comfortable cage Afraid to go outside and filled up with rage Feel like I've been separated from the world I once knew Cut off from my family and friends and severed from you It's been a couple of months and I'm sick of living in fear Those ships in the sky haven't moved since they've been here Watching and waiting or whatever the hell it is they do It's not knowing your fate that awaits when they make their move Not so long ago when people were so wrapped up in themselves Nobody cared about anything or anybody else Now we're waiting in darkness just to see if we'll live Just to see if we'll live another day Well I finally snapped and I went for a walk The streets were all dead and the cars had all stopped And the ships in the sky didn't do a goddamned thing So I raised up my hands to the sky and I began to scream Can you hear me? Who do you think you are? What the hell do you want and what are you waiting for? If I had any weapons I'd blast you right out of the sky No more hiding away now it's time that we begin to fight
8.
Why are we just sitting here while they make all their plans? Sitting ducks do nothing but play right into their hands We've got to get some weapons and prepare our own attack Why wait until we're forced to fight them back? Listen all you people with your heads up in the clouds They haven't come to help us, they'd have showed us all by now It's obvious they're waiting for the perfect time to strike Well I'm not gonna just lay down and die We won't go down without a fight We won't go down without a fight We won't go down without a fight We won't go down without a fight Hey, don't be afraid, we're gonna make it, I swear See, I've got a plan, we're gonna take this, somewhere Somewhere Listen all you idiots who think you're safe and sound The day is coming soon and those machines are coming down What reason do you have to think that this will go away? I say we take a stand, we stand today We won't go down without a fight We won't go down without a fight We won't go down without a fight We won't go down without a fight

Showdown 08:51

Resolve 13:53
PART ONE As sudden as their arrival, They vanished without a trace No pyrotechnics or fanfare Just one giant empty space And everyone's asking questions Like what was the goddamned point Humanity's left without answers Our spirits were knocked out of joint Now I've been doing some thinking And watching the world return To some kind of state of normal And there's something I have learned While living in fear of the unknown The world had a common threat And people who'd fought one another Were basically forced to forget And nations had banded together To map out a plan of attack For now at least they will remember They once had each other's back And what of the visiting objects Are they coming again some day Let's hope it doesn't take that lesson To remind us all how to behave PART TWO At the end of the day Things stay the same But nothing appears Completely unchanged But you didn't expect Square holes perfectly round And you didn't expect Silence making a sound And you didn't expect Your whole world crashing down To test your resolve When the dust finally clears There's nothing so dear Than the life that you live Without worry and fear But you didn't expect Darkness bright as a light And you didn't expect Daytime all through the night And you didn't expect Giving up all of your rights To test your resolve How long will this feeling go on? Inescapable emptiness from dusk until dawn Can you find any answers, do you know what went wrong? What went wrong? When it's all said and done You're the fortunate one Because you survived This mystery ride But you didn't expect Closing your eyes to see And you didn't expect Paying for everything free And you didn't expect Giving your soul to me To test your resolve At the end of the day Things stay the same But nothing appears Completely unchanged

THE STORY BEHIND "LAST DAY ON EARTH"

Imagine waking up one morning and starting your day like you’ve
started every other day. You shower, make breakfast and head to
work.

Today though, something in the sky above catches your eye, and
you look up too see several oddly-shaped objects sitting there,
motionless.

Your mind is conflicted. You are seeing what you think are several
UFOs, but at the same time, you can’t be seeing them.

What would you do next? Carry on as if nothing was wrong? Look
to see if any off your neighbors were also staring at the sky? Run
back into your house? Lock the door? Turn on the TV or radio to
see if anyone else is seeing thee same things you are?

How would you feel to learn that people all over the world are
seeing objects in the sky where they live?

How would life change for you in that moment?
