First off, I want to say to those who find the lyrics hard to make out: that is intentional. The nature of the vocals is meant to invoke the speech of aliens. The song is about a fleet of alien ships that travel through the universe, looking for others who are ready to do the same. The song explains that they have just discovered Earth, but they bypass it. Why? There a couple of hints as to why: first, the moonlight is describes as falling down like tears, invoking sorrow. The second and most important clue comes from the lines, "And so we pass on by the crimson eye - Of great god mars". Mars is described not as a planet but as a god, and if you know your Roman mythology, you will know that Mars was the god of war. Hence, humanity, which is still embroiled in war, is not yet ready to receive the amazing gift of advanced technology which would allow them to join the fleet of universal explorers, the planet caravan. The aliens are saddened by this, because of the distance they've traveled, only to find a species not yet evolved enough to join them. It is a sad, chilling and beautiful anti-war song.
Reading your commentary while listening to the music is simply awesome. It's touching because it's a cold, unfortunate true. But oh, well, let's enjoy the nice, traveling part of this.

@Starwatcher23 Just heard this song for the first time...read your explanation...Well written Starwatcher23...Very deep understanding of the song, and great way of explaining it. That's some deep shit they are singing about, and makes complete sense to why other beings wouldn't even bother with us. I appreciate the time and explanation you put into this. Thank you for sharing!
