  • 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! Writer/s: ARIF MIRABODLBAGHI, LUCAS HOSKIN, MORGAN CARLSON, RODY WALKER, TIM MILLAR

  • Varrick from Plano, TxOk for those who are looking for a little more details; the song is referring to the aliens and demons in our solar space. The song basically stated that we humans do more harm to ourselves than otherworldly things such as creatures in space and demons. For Example: The song references them as "they" as the song states: " They're not the ones who hate us; and mutilate our animals. We are. We are." Stating that we as a human race are more evil than the things we fear most. You must be careful when listening to these guys because in my opinion "THEY ARE HERE TO HURT US"
  • Alex from Beech Grove, InThis song is so amazing!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
