Verse 1:
Sometimes I look to the sky for answers to the questions
Of how humanity changed after many generations
Once upon ago we're hunters and gatherers,
Foraging society, now forage through a browser
Stuck on a freeway, no exit no escape
Broke the chain, sequencing T, G, C, and A
Paved a new path, like fiber optics transmit light
Wasn't long before we're fastening seat-belts in flight
But what created the exit that we took to make the change?
Did we simply stop hunting, and start farming rearrange?
Our priorities or was there something else at work
Did our ancestors document this like desk clerks?
Into monuments, ancient texts, and theocracies
Pyramid prophesies, do they propose Celestial odysseys?
Of angels and Gods from space
Apollo's chariot, viewed by human race
Did Adam and Eve actually eat from a tree?
Or did they merely inherit alien technology
A story distorted like a game of telephone?
Lost in translation, from ancestors long ago

Pre-Chorus:
Zeus lightning bolt hit Ben Franklin's kite
And Icarus hypothesized with the brother's Wright
Minerva is Da Vinci's model, the Mona Lisa
Pyramids are power plants, like Great Giza

Chorus:
Ancient Astronauts, we need to know
Why you left us to our devices, but showed
Us futuristic tools to help us pave the way
To a society as we now know it today
Ancient Astronauts, we need know
Why you abandoned us and left us all alone
Are we not ready to join the galactic community?
So you'll leave us here until we develop fully

Verse 2:
Like ants in a farm, only watching from afar
Shake up the sand, when a tunnels gone in the wrong
Direction, looking at your own reflection
Started off in the same spot, until innovation
Took you to the stars, the Celestial sea
Landed on Earth, and saw that, that we
Had potential to join you in space flight
Left monuments to direct us to the nights
You spent with us, and the events that took place
And how we worshiped you like Gods, the alien race
Is there a reason that you left us here alone?
Were there great wars waged here, battles for a throne?
Or imprisoned us, used us as slaves
Sumerians mined for gold, Anunnaki rearranged
DNA in homo-erectus, sapiens were born
Was Eden a spaceship, is this what we have learned?
Mayan calendar, is that the date you return?
Evidence from the continents west, to the eastern
Recalibrate our history, is that what has emerged?
From our ancestors, has history been upturned?

Pre-Chorus 2:
Dragons were shuttle's blasting in the night
And magic carpets used could actually achieve flight
Iris visited inventor Alexander Graham-Bell
Atlantis was a colony that ascended, not fell
