Lyrics:

We've taken too much for granted,

and all the time it had grown

from techno seeds we first planted

evolved a mind of it's own.

Marching in the streets

dragging iron feet,

laser beaming hearts,

ripping men apart.

Metal Gods

Metal Gods

From what had seemed 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 us over

with mankind in their command,

in time they learned to discover

how they could make their demands

Better be the slaves

to their wicked ways,

than meeting with our deaths

engulfed in molten breath.

Metal Gods

Metal Gods
