Three days later 
an uncertain contact 
Reaches out for survivors 
A species beyond known space 

We came here to propose an offer 
You'll give us all and your own planet 
And in turn, we'll save you from utter extinction 

Is this what it has come to 
Are we truly lost 
This offer our only hope 
the terms severely out of scope 

Four more hours 
They contemplate the offer 
An offer which is clearly absurd 

Do we have another choice? 

CHORUS 
The moon is full of questions 
Salvation at what cost 
The fate of humankind 
the Scales of Prevailment 

Left to us for to control 
We have no need for you 
Disposable creatures are what we crave 
Something we wish to bereave 
Your fate in our hands is the future 
and the hope of your survival 

Six hours more 
And clearly this is not the answer 
We'll have to find another way to the world 

We won't accept your terms 
We will prevail 
We shall discuss no more 
We are 

CHORUS 
The collective humankind 
Is now determined to be 
Here for many moons to pass
