"Alien to us" could mean anything. It just means that "the coming curse" isn't human. Make of it what you will, but the way the songs speak of 'Him' makes me greatly believe that it's merely a demon disguised as a human. "Born of the beast", "the anti-christ", "born on the sixth day, of the sixth month, in the sixth hour" (666, the sign of the beast)... I think it plainly states it, really. Of course, the way he words it in "your anti-Christ" could mean that we, as a people, would lable It as being a devil or whatever. shrugs I think there's just a bit too much evidence leaning towards a supernatural origin rather that Martians.
Anyhow, this is a wonderful song, like all of Iced Earth's songs.
