I see a burning streak
in the dark sky
The stars above are turning pale

A faceless messiah
beast from the outer space
TV-legions all hail

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

With faces proud
but the heart's grown small
We stand in shaky reception

Overloaded minds
trying to predefine
the moment of truth or deception

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

Will we be given an answer?
Does it know who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

The gods of billions
will share just one fate
Crushed down beneath
the new one's weight

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
by the light of this star

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
