Ten thousand years ago We received a message from your galaxy A message that filled our hearts with joy A chance to exchange experiences and knowledge
You spoke of a green paradise in the cold dead space A place where life against all odds did grow Life sprung from water to pursue a life on land evolution gave mammals a leading role
[Chorus:] We did come - we heard your call But found no life at all
We came to late - was it fate The rage in you became your fall
A flock of monkeys learned to stand erect invented tools and weapons to kill and gain respect You said that much has changed since then But none of our people ever kill our own men
Your thirst to lead and kill was the guiding force for your development This green oasis you called Tellus destroyed by your need for possessions
[Chorus]
Ten thousand years too late But lucky not to feel your hate So many things you could learn from us You could have lived on...
