Sufjan Stevens - Concerning The Ufo Sighting Near Highland, Illinois lyrics

When the revenant came down

We couldn't imagine what it was

In the spirit of three stars

The alien thing that took its form

Then to Lebanon

Oh, God

The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow

Oh, history involved itself

Mysterious shade that took its form

Or what it was, incarnation

Three stars

Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
