A SciFi Rock song - The Earth is invaded one night, and this poor guy is the last one the aliens catch.

Story behind the song
A rock song about the night aliens come from the sky and the last survivor, who tries to hang on to his free will.
An experiment with odd time signatures. It jumps between 3/16 to 5/4 to 4/4.
Lyrics
When I saw them coming from the sky I ran to hide
A hundred rings of fire that lit up the night
When the dawn came there was no one left to fight
I'm afraid I'm the only one who was left inside
The winds blow the freezing rain
Lord only knows I won't go there again
The stench of death in cities that remain
Hunger drives me to try once again
Alien thoughts come creeping through my dreams at night
Visions of worlds never seen by human eye
Minds so strange and strong I can't last if I fight
Sleep enfolds me, I surrender to the night
In my brain, alive beside me
Together now, we're tied inside
Silent watchers, they don't care
My soul is mine but the rest is theirs
