So Said The Lighthouse Keeper Lyrics - Klaatu

"I am the very loneliest of all creatures in the universe 

Indeed I am an epitaph to man 

For having witnessed mass destruction like you've never dreamed and worse 

I fear I shall bear witness once again." 

So said the lighthouse keeper 

As he struggled up the spiral stairs 

Which led him to the laser flare which scanned the cosmic void 

Where keeping constant vigil 

He'd forewarn this gallant guard of guards 

Beware all ships the space graveyard and its stones of asteroids 

"For though my race was thought immune 

Themselves they did consume 

So be warned or be mourned tomorrow 

And from your deafness do desist 

And pray take heed of this 

For your present course can only end in sorrow..." 

So said the lighthouse keeper 

As he wiped a teardrop from his nose 

Upon which his spectacles rose and gazed out to the stars 

And like a portrait still he stared 

And sighing to himself declared 

"I must invent the perfect prayer 

Not yours, not mine, but ours
