PALLAS
"The Alien Messiah"
(Ronnie Brown / Colin Fraser / Connor Mackie / Mathewson / Graeme Murray)

Hear me, see me, as I step on to your stage
I talk to every one of you so I subdue your rage
Your leaders have failed you
Your world sits on the edge
Here and now before you, I make this solemn pledge

Follow me (and the crowd went wild)
Come to me (man woman and child)
Trust in me (all the world go wild)
And you will see...

I come here from a time and place
Where leaders proved their might
No question from their people of their wisdom and their sight
I offer you direction you have never seen before
Realise your destiny and open up your door

Follow me (and the crowd went wild)
Come to me... (man woman and child)
Trust in me... (all the world go wild)
And you will see...

I promise you a golden age prosperity and power
Where peace prevails and nothing fails
Your finest hour

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be your Emperor. That is not my purpose. I don't want to rule or conquer you
We seeded this planet millennia ago in the hope that the you would flourish and produce a world of culture and enlightenment.

We want to help you, That is the Atlantean way
We want you to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery

We don't want you to hate and despise one another
In this world there is room for everyone and your good Earth is rich and can provide for everyone

Your way of life could be free and beautiful, but you have lost your way
Greed, has poisoned your souls, has infected your world with hate, has dragged you into misery and bloodshed
You have developed technology, but have lost sight of why
Technology that created abundance has left you in want

Your knowledge has made you cynical not wise, your cleverness is hard and unkind
You think too much and care too little
More than technology, you need humanity
More than cleverness, you need compassion
Without these qualities, your lives will end violently, and all will be lost "

Follow me (and the crowd went wild)
Come to me... (man woman and child)
Trust in me... (all the world go wild)
And you will see...
