Reception Songtext
von Ferry Corsten

It begins with a sound echoing from the depths of space
Endlessly repeating, we couldn′t help but listen
Scientists, academics, politicians, and pundits
Practically everyone on Earth with an idea and the internet
None of them can explain the sound
Is it the pulse of a dying star?
A rogue satellite?
Or perhaps an interstellar SOS?


Astronomers from around the world are expressing excitement about a
Radio signal coming from deep space. Some say it might be a signal
From an alien civilization. The signal, coming from a point between
The Pisces and Aries constellations, has been detected three times by
The SETI radio telescope in Puerto Rico. The giant antenna uses a
Worldwide network of personal computers
To sift radio signals from space

This isn't the first time, but this signal may be the last
Every country in every corner of the world has a different name
For the sound, but most of them translate to, simply, "The Drum"
