We Are Not the First Lyrics


When we make contact with planet Earth

You'll have to prove that you're ready for us

With your nuclear bomb technology,

warmongering philosophy

Like a suicidal candle

You will snuff yourselves out

Has all this childhood been for nothing?

Hold on, take a stock of what you've got

Got to pool your resources

You send your eyes into the skies

Your thirst for knowledge is great it's true

But in the twinkling of an eye you could lose everything,

the balance tips against you

From the heavens others have been,

but passed you by - you were not ready

Pyramids and temples,

they all left their calling cards

We are not the first.
