[Verse 1]
They came down low
Under storm-gray skin
Green eyes locked in
On the whole map, yeah
Ships on the coast
No sleep in the dawn
Marked every roof
Then the power was gone
Palm trees bent back
When the sky split open
Kids in the street
Saw the future spoken
You sent your flags up
They burned to ash
Now every red light
Turns green too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hum roll in
Feel the ground give way
They don’t ask twice
They just take the day
One blink, one flash
And the towers lean
World in their hand
Like a bad machine
[Chorus]
Take over now
Take over now
Aliens got the crown (got the crown)
Take over now
Take over now
Earth on lock right now (right now)
[Verse 2]
They learned our names
From the smoke and news
Copied our songs
Then bent the tunes
Made the moon glow
Like a badge on steel
Told the ocean
“Now you kneel”
Every bank closed
Every screen went blue
Every old king
Had to answer too
No more borders
Just one cold code
Alien feet on
The governor road
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hum roll in
Feel the ground give way
They don’t ask twice
They just take the day
One blink, one flash
And the towers lean
World in their hand
Like a bad machine
[Chorus]
Take over now
Take over now
Aliens got the crown (got the crown)
Take over now
Take over now
Earth on lock right now (right now)
[Bridge]
If they ask your name
Say it clear and slow
Eyes to the clouds
Let the whole world know
We were the spark
Now we’re the scene
Under silver hands
And a cracked back screen
[Chorus]
Take over now
Take over now
Aliens got the crown (got the crown)
Take over now
Take over now
Earth on lock right now (right now)
