The white men came years ago with their guns and their greed, they are the strangers
Tens of thousands of years before this, the aliens came from the stars
They brought their Gods and the secret knowledge with their starships
They buried the ships and settled among us, they taught us all we know
The words and the legends that we pass on from one generation to the next
The whites brought machines to dig the earth for the gold and the cold-death stones
Their machines build other machines to fight wars and to conquer more lands
The aliens once taught us about good and evil about fate and destiny
They spoke about a Judgment Day, something like a strong blue light
We remember and we hope for this day
