We Come in Peace

by Nick Gisburne



We come in peace, to show you what we are
We come in peace, to prove that we exist
We come for shelter, from a dying star
Your world was too enticing to resist
We come in peace, the glorious, the good
We come in peace, to you, because we can
We come, and we are certain that you should
Be grateful for your place within our plan
We come in peace, a peace we will impose
We come in peace, regardless of the cost
We come, despite the insolence you chose
When realising all you had was lost
    We come in peace, to show you how to live
    And you will take whatever peace we give
