Waiting for the sun, Blazon badge across a foreign world A morning stand to, bringing a drop of sweat Perfectly still, its my only movement Traveling down, contours of eyes Impatiently watching an alien landscape They came from somewhere else An known place, far in space Attacked from out of the sun Decimating cities, structures, life Pumping chemical nightmares from their ships Driving the elderly and children insane Their ships were drones, robotic Faces unseen, voices unheard But only at first, and only in dreams Populating our oceans, broke eco Processing, harvesting, drinking all life Like Leviathan devouring life Massive ships, they sunk deep More, their ships came, Some we shot, falling from the sky Crashing to Earth in massive comets Of oranges, yellows, and blues Scarring cities, farmland and lives Others, tentacled, weaponed and fantastic Crawled up our beaches, taking cities, crushing homes Some tiny, unseen, breathed in Feasting on flesh, multiplying Liquifing, microscopically treacherous Life by the millions, blinking out like strobe Slowly we fought; humanity: nature of war Learning to protect, learning to defend Small thousands remained, I think they forgot Maybe this planet, had grown too cold We made weapons, developed this war Brought ourselves back We reached for the stars, Reaching for new suns We found them again, Decided to wipe them from space One planet at a time, Each system in a row But for the soldier's life This dirt, this planet, this place Its boredom and waiting Burning suns Freezing wastes Always just another taste

The Soldiers' Fire
Waiting for the sun, Blazon badge across a foreign world A morning stand to, bringing a drop of sweat Perfectly still, its my only movement Traveling down, contours of eyes Impatiently watching an alien landscape They came from somewhere else An known place, far in space Attacked from out of the sun Decimating cities, structures, life Pumping chemical nightmares from their ships Driving the elderly and children insane Their ships were drones, robotic Faces unseen, voices unheard But only at first, and only in dreams Populating our oceans, broke eco Processing, harvesting, drinking all life Like Leviathan devouring life Massive ships, they sunk deep More, their ships came, Some we shot, falling from the sky Crashing to Earth in massive comets Of oranges, yellows, and blues Scarring cities, farmland and lives Others, tentacled, weaponed and fantastic Crawled up our beaches, taking cities, crushing homes Some tiny, unseen, breathed in Feasting on flesh, multiplying Liquifing, microscopically treacherous Life by the millions, blinking out like strobe Slowly we fought; humanity: nature of war Learning to protect, learning to defend Small thousands remained, I think they forgot Maybe this planet, had grown too cold We made weapons, developed this war Brought ourselves back We reached for the stars, Reaching for new suns We found them again, Decided to wipe them from space One planet at a time, Each system in a row But for the soldier's life This dirt, this planet, this place Its boredom and waiting Burning suns Freezing wastes Always just another taste
