They had hovered above the near space atmosphere
Always hidden in sun's glare or the shadows of night
They released probes to watch us, observing humans
Humans had spent the vast wealth of food, resources
Upon the wealthy, forcing the rest to become slaves
Humans so prone to violence, build better weapons
Given human proclivity, trade hope for better blades
Violent and ignorant by choice, extinction beckons
They watch, never intervening, they yet still fear us
Far beyond our level of technology, they'll fear us
So they stay, making certain we never escape
Making certain we never come near
Whatever we believe are our boundaries
Whatever we believe or think is fake
Never let us escape this cage
So they stay, making certain we never escape
Making certain we never come near
Whatever we believe are our boundaries
Whatever we believe or think is fake
Never let us escape this cage
