The Vigil lyrics

In a purple vision

Many thousand years ago

I saw the silent stranger

Walk the earth alone

Twenty-seven faces

With their eyes turned to the sky

I've got a camera

And an airtight alibi

I know they're out there

We see them coming

Faster than the speed of light

They greet us in the dead of the night

Somewhere, someday, someone

They'll be light and sound

They'll alight on the ground

On which we stand

Somewhere, someday, someone

Will help us to survive

They're gonna show us hell

And bring us back alive

Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled

The lies don't count, the whispers do

I hear the whispers on the wind

They say the earth has fallen due

We run in circles

Our days are numbered

Every night I look away

To the heavens and I pray

Come to us

Come to us

Come to us

Come to us

Our lights are dim

Our roads are crumbling

And we don't know what to do

We're sick and tired

And dying to meet you

'Cause we bit off more than

We can chew
