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
