The Vigil Songtext
von Blue Öyster Cult

In a purple vision (vision)
Many thousand years ago
I saw the silent strangers (strangers)
Walk the earth alone

27 faces (faces)
With their eyes turned to the sky
I′ve got a camera (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 night

(Someday), someday, someone
They′ll be light and sound
They'll alight on the ground on which we stand

(Someday), 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
Come to us, come to us
Come to us, come to us

Our lights are dim
Our roads are crumbling, yeah
And we don′t know what to do
We're sick and tired and dying to meet you (meet you)
′Cause we bit off more than we can chew
