They came from beyond the stars
In a colossal spaceship
On a "seeding" trip
To the…
The planet blue
The planet young
The planet green
Not a trace of life to be seen

Tall and muscular
Lepidote bipeds
Greenish beige
Yellow almond
Four fingered
Large 
Hands and feet
Spiked
Horned
Tailed
Tentacle
Retractable
Off the charts
Smart
Einstein many times X with a lions' heart

These magnificent travelers
Ancient warriors
These celestial builders
In the bosom of an interstellar car
They came down from afar
A box-filled laboratory inside
The variety far and wide
Embryos and seeds
Biological species and weeds
The mission many fold 
Among them the colonization of a new world
A massive volcanic eruption
An unplanned disruption
Ice
Cold
A ship encased
Plan on hold

Stranded below
Adapting
Creating
Surviving
Watching
Waiting…
Evolving
As the topside raged 
Everything changing
Time and the meddlers adding to the song
Humankind moving along
Getting it all wrong
The slave force
The food source
Sliced, diced and spliced from day one
Primed now for a dramatic re-run

They came from beyond the stars
In a colossal ship
On a seeding trip
The intellectual predators
The creators
