The Visitors (symphonic prog rock ~ lyric video)

This song is a full suite of three main parts and an epilogue. It incorporates an original poem that I wrote in 1989 about three bright young children who have a close encounter of the third kind with aliens from another world. Song Lyrics: *************** Part I. The Children Darius (the engineer) Mags (the neurologist) Lucas (the poet) The noonday sun danced upon the faces Of the three as they met that day To the south, in the valley, stood the traces Of the homes they had left to play Darius stood tall for a boy of twelve His fair complexion was given to gold His sun-bleached hair could not be held He dreamed of bridges he would mold Mags was born on a bed of clover With emerald eyes and hair on fire Thinking of the forces that drove her A microscope was her only mire For Lucas words would flow with ease From the beauty held within his mind For he the most adventurous of these Envisioned mountains he would climb Part II. The Spectacle Near to the east the sky was a cluster Of cumulus clouds in purple luster Floating over the valley Menacing as this sight would seem The three were entranced by the scene Being played before them From out of the violent mass there came The first starship rising like a flame Above the town below them It circled to the south and in its wake Like the tail Halley's comet would make Left a trail of crimson dust On its return the starship took shape And the children thought of a dove out of place Glowing in its white purity As it went by the three were all smiling For out of the clouds came two starships shining Of green and gold metal flake The two had followed the path of the 'White Dove' And the children's eyes were filled with love For the visitors above them Part III: The Encounter "I am Passion, I give you fire" He stood before Darius with eyes of desire "Of all the bridges you shall build None will make you more fulfilled Than those that connect your planet's peoples" "I am called Glory, giver of light I offer reward at the end of your flight That this world is benevolent you will find The key to man's future is in his mind And you, Mags, shall unlock it" "My name is Reason, master of truth" He smiled upon Lucas with vigor and youth "I give you perspective of time and space For you shall teach the human race In the poetry of empathy and justice Epilogue Though the moment had gone And the visitors afar The three were left stunned By their mark like a scar On their souls forever ************** Song Credits: Music Direction and Lyrics by Keith Williams Website: https://thekeithproject.epizy.com Song created with SUNO Website: https://suno.com
