Did you come here to kill, or did you come here to die, Or did you really think that spaceships would descend from the sky! Bending light and beaming forth across space-time, To see us scared in the reflection of their oily black eyes To a stalk us like a predator Like our movies imply They're not the one's who've come to kill us Come to fill us full of lead They're not the one who hate us And they are not the ones who mutilate our animals. Or travel to the stars, they're not the one's who cause us harm! (We are) We are, we are, we are We are still-life, and cold-blooded (We feel nothing!) We are still-life, and cold-blooded (We feel nothing!) Hellbent on heaven Hellbent on heaven Hellbent on heaven Hellbent on heaven While our righteous men are stuffing corpses full of shit and pain We are, we are, we are still-life We are, we are, we are still-life We are, we are, we are still-life They're not the ones who cause us harm We are, we are Did you come here to kill, did you come here to die' We are still-life in cold-blood We are still-life in cold-blood And we feel, we feel Nothing! Stuffing corpses full of shit and pain They bloviate about a future beyond the moon, To bring about another planet's doom. To discover peaceful life, and beat a war-drum to its tune Unless my prayers are answered Our end is coming soon!
