Lyrics Alien - Leonard Nimoy

From the land of endless night come I, an alien from afar
Spewn forth upon your pleasant sphere
So much like you and yet so unalike

Am I the you before, the you you were when your world was new?
Or am I the you, that you will be tomorrow?
Through me, you see your future or your past
I know not which
For I come from that spark of light so far in space
Your mind the distance could not comprehend

It was once my home, and calls to me when I look up into the void
But it is not the verdant place your planet is
That warms and cools you as the seasons go
Oh, no
My mind recalls a seething cauldron flung among the stars
And satellites and galaxies of boundless time
There, through evolution, I became the creature I am now
No heart or feelings show in me
Perhaps I am better off than you
For I see things without emotion, as they are
Some may envy me, but I pay a price to be from human feelings free
Perhaps in me, you see your destiny

From the land of endless night come I, an alien from afar
Spewn forth upon your pleasant sphere
So much like you and yet so unalike
