The Strangers

Beings from galaxies way out in space
Came to Earth at the dawn of the young human race
Came to help us
Moving in starships much faster than light
They would master infinity and other might
Just to help us

God's messengers they may have been
But we Earth people call them the Strangers

Traces of what they had done here before
Traces remain, only traces, not more
So we should know that they really existed, the Strangers
Secrets and signs that are buried in stone
Tell us that we're never lost and alone
That there are others, our brothers, much wiser than we

They disappeared when they thought they could see
That we humans would master our own destiny
They departed (have they gone forever?)
But in the east where the mountains are high
There is many an old man who looks to the sky
And is haunted (will they be returning?)

God's messengers they may have been
But we Earth people call them the Strangers

Traces of what they had done here before
Traces remain, only traces, not more
So we should know that they really existed, the Strangers
(but what was their mission?)
Secrets and signs that are buried in stone (for us)
Tell us that we're never lost and alone (never lost)
That there are others, our brothers, much wiser than we

God's messengers they may have been
But we Earth people call them the Strangers (the Strangers)

Traces of what they had done here before
Traces remain, only traces, not more
So we should know that they really existed, the Strangers
(but what was their mission?)

Secrets and signs that are buried in stone (for us)
Tell us that we're never lost and alone (never lost)
That there are others, our brothers, much wiser than we
(Will they come and we all will be saved?)
Yes there are others, our brothers, but who can they be?
(Will they come and we all will be saved?)

May they come soon (may they come soon)
So we all will be saved (we all must be saved)
All must be saved
