Der dritte Song meines neuen Albums nimmt sich des Themas möglicher außerirdischer Besucher an. Wenn sie tatsächlich die Reise durch die unfassbare Weite des Alls schaffen könnten, müssten sie uns technologisch hoch überlegen sein. Ob sie dann auch moralisch überlegen sind und Nachsicht walten lassen, ist eine andere Frage. Vielleicht betrachten sie uns ja als Schädlinge, die gerade dabei sind, eine früher intakte Welt zugrunde zu richten. Dann sollten wir sie nicht einladen, uns zu besuchen, solange wir uns nicht ethisch weiterentwickelt haben. Wenn wir durch eigenes Verschulden von diesem Planeten verschwinden, können sie gerne kommen und hinter uns aufräumen.
Den Text schrieb Richard Bellinghausen, der hier auch den Gesang übernimmt. Der Rest ist wie immer von mir.
Edit: Nach Mindmovies Empfehlung habe ich Richards Stimme um 2 dB leiser gemacht und sie auch besser in den Mix eingebettet.

Aliens, counting billions of stars out there
Planets orbiting everywhere
We've been wondering if we are alone
Aliens, it would be such a waste of space
If apart from the human race
No more highly skilled creatures
whatsoever had developed
Shouting for a century
Failed to make an impact
Radio signals in the void
No established contact
Nothing here to offer you
Don't get too excited
Turn your rocket ships around
You are not invited
While extinction is the rule
we're really in no hurry to die
If the universe was any different we'd be nowhere
Stay where you are, true to your star
Send us a message instead
Binary code, heads might explode
SETI's alert in the red
Over the moon, but don't come too soon
Out of the empty expanse
In a few years we'll disappear
Then you may take a first glance
We know you are stardust just like us
Know the exact same laws apply
Bold interstellar travellers
Some generations have gone by
Equipped with enhanced intelligence
Light-years ahead scientifically
Sadly, there is no evidence
Morals evolve accordingly
Aliens, your technology's so advanced
That we simply can't take the chance
You could plunder the only home we have
Aliens, there is hope you are peaceful blokes
Life may be just a cosmic joke
You are mirrors we're staring at in utter disbelief
Nothing here to offer you. Don't get too excited
Turn your rocket ships around. You are not invited
