Halford (Rob Halford) - Metal Gods lyrics

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]

We'd taken too much for granted

And all the time it had grown

From techno seeds we'd first planted

Evolved a mind of its own

Walking in the street dragging iron feet

Laser beaming hearts

Ripping men apart

From what had been our perfection

Where we could do as we please

In secrecy this infection

Was spreading like a disease

Hiding underground

Knowing we'd be found

Fearing for our lives

Reaped by robot scythes

Metal gods metal gods

Machines are taking all over

With mankind in their command

In time they'd learn to discover

How they could make their demands

Better be the slaves

To their wicked ways

Than meeting with our death

Engulfed in molten breath
