The Fermi Paradox lyrics
"We are the Borg
Lower your shields and surrender your ships
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own
Your culture will adapt to service us
Resistance is futile"

Over and over
You reach past the sky
And signal a beacon
For the sake
of solidarity
While
You ask yourselves why
Your cry goes ignored
Rest assured,
We are not blind

For the scribe
that guides
to your sun's
spectral expression

Describe your failure
To read the signs
Of a galaxy
Devoid of life

Yes,
We will follow
In this valley of light
That you've
carelessly
Left behind

And when we find you
You will tremble
In the shadows
Of our might

We've come to assimilate
Not to liberate
We will domesticate
Humanity

For when we find you
Pathetic and weak,
A might that you've never known

We will smite you
And wash away
Every trace
That you've left behind
And we'll enslave
all of your minds
And all that is yours
will be mine
we will break you
In the blink of an eye
We will take your world

Over and over
You reach past the sky
And signal a beacon
For the sake of
solidarity
While
You ask yourself why
Your cry goes ignored
Rest assured,

Over and over
Your look past the sky
Searching for answers
In the name of a
prophecy
You ask yourself why
Your voice is not heard
Rest assured
We are not blind

We can see you

We are coming

Prepare to be assimilated

Over and over
We conquer

I realise i am a hard of hearing person, but i can't understand a single word from the dialogue after the first stanza. Forgive me if i used the wrong term, i'm not an expert on making music (this sounds weird), but overall this is really good!

Hey, thanks for listening! I've attached the lyrics below; Metal vocals tend to be hard to decipher, but that's part of what make them so great; you can write songs without a conventional rhyming scheme, poetry in motion:) or, at least, so I think!
