Lyrics

We have always assumed that the meteor
Was intended as a form of transportation, perhaps it wasn't
The meteor is a chunk of their planet
That got thrown into space when they destroyed their world
But how could they survive the trip across outer space on a chunk of rock?
They didn't

Hold your fire, those tanks are flammable!

I think that explains why we never had a chance
All our strategies are based on one assumption:
That we were fighting alien invaders
Think of the dream; how they died
Since then, all they've known is suffering
They're not an invading army
They're ghosts

They're not an invading army
They're ghosts

Hold your fire, those tanks are flammable!

(The meteor is a chunk of their planet
That got thrown into space when they destroyed their world
But how could they survive the trip across outer space on a chunk of rock?
They didn't)

I try to imagine what that must have been like
Seeing everyone around you fall over dead for no apparent reason
And then, at the end, feeling something next to you
Inivisible, touching you
I'm convinced these dreams are some form of communication
The message still eludes me
But they're coming faster now and that can only mean one thing
The Phantoms inside me are beginning to win

I think that explains why we never had a chance
All our strategies are based on one assumption:
That we were fighting alien invaders
Think of the dream; how they died
Since then, all they've known is suffering
They're not an invading army
They're ghosts
