  • We've taken too much for granted
    And all the time it had grown
    From techno seeds we first planted
    Evolved a mind of its own

    Marching in the streets
    Dragging iron feet
    Laser beaming hearts
    Ripping men apart

    From what I've seen of 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's scythes

    Metal gods
    Metal gods

    Metal gods
    Metal gods

    Machines are taking all over
    With mankind in their command
    In time they'd like to discover
    How they can make their demand

    Better be the slaves
    To their wicked ways
    But meeting with our death
    Engulfed in molten breath Writer/s: Glenn Raymond Tipton, Kenneth Downing, Robert Halford
