(Verse 1)
There’s a whisper in the wheat fields, rollin’ low beneath the moon,
Dogs been howlin’ at the shadows, something’s comin’ awful soon.
Grandpa said he seen this once, back in ’62…
When the sky burned red like judgment, and the cold night bled right through.
(Chorus)
And those lights on the ridge ain’t lanterns,
They don’t flicker, they don’t fade.
They hum like a thousand voices
Diggin’ deep into your graves.
If you hear that silver thunder…
Boy, you better start to pray,
’Cause the ones inside those star-born ships
Ain’t comin’ here to stay—
They’re comin’ here to take us away.
(Verse 2)
Mama’s cross fell off the doorway, cracked in half upon the floor,
Wind stopped dead like it got strangled, even crickets chirped no more.
Something brushed across the rooftop, like a hand of icy rain,
Then a beam tore through the darkness, white as bone and full of pain.
(Chorus)
And those lights on the ridge ain’t lanterns,
They don’t flicker, they don’t fade.
They hum like a thousand voices
Diggin’ deep into your graves.
If you hear that silver thunder…
Boy, you better start to pray,
’Cause the ones inside those star-born ships
Ain’t comin’ here to stay—
They’re comin’ here to take us away.
(Bridge)
I saw ’em walkin’ from the treeline, tall and thin and carved from night,
Eyes like dying furnace embers, faces smooth and wrong and bright.
They don’t speak in any language, but you feel ’em in your head…
A promise cold as winter steel—
“You’ll serve us, or be dead.”
(Verse 3)
Now the township’s glowin’ silver, every house lit up in beams,
Hear the neighbors screamin’ upward while the world tears at the seams.
I’m the last one in the valley, got my rifle and my name…
But a shadow’s crawlin’ toward me, and it knows them both the same.
(Final Chorus)
And those lights on the ridge ain’t lanterns,
They don’t flicker, they don’t fade.
They hum like a thousand voices
Diggin’ deep into your graves.
If you hear that silver thunder…
Boy, you better start to pray,
’Cause the ones inside those star-born ships
Ain’t leavin’ come the day—
No, tonight this world gets taken away.
