Lyrics
1. THE NEW MOON, LIT UP THE SKY, WHILE THE DESERT SAND, GLEAMED BRIGHT.
I CAN STILL REMEMBER, THE SMELL OF THE OASIS,
WHERE WE HAD STOPPED, FOR THE NIGHT.

OH CHILDREN OF EARTH, WE DON?T WANT TO HURT YOU, NO.

OH CHILDREN OF EARTH, WE DON?T WANT TO HURT YOU, NO!
2. MARS STARED, WITH HIS ONE RED EYE,

WHY DID THEY BURN, THE MOON TO A CRISP?
