Chariot Of The Gods

Look up in the sky, is it a bird or a plane?

Nothing you or I can quite explain

Gods from up on high, be they divine or profane?

Every prayer we cry was all in vain

And it seems to be real

Still I can't help but feel it's all a dream

When our guns, germs, and steel

Were destroyed by the shield of laser beam

A fleet of mighty ships sweep in to make their attack

Our defences stripped and out of whack

Fragile microchips felled by an alien hack

Left us ill-equipped to fight them back

We attempt to defend

But still we cannot pretend we'll never win

And we can't comprehend

That this might spell the end of everything

Death raining down from the sky

Came in the blink of an eye

We cower in fear, you and I

You'll never know what it's like

When will the final blow strike?

Man, woman, child, all alike

You'll never know what it's like

No time to lament the many souls who have died

Fighting to prevent our genocide

Unrelenting gods swept all resistance aside

Making us repent our human pride

Human pride

Foolish pride

Many died

They all died

The danger was real

Now the gods have revealed their fatal plan

Humankind brought to heel

And we'll all have to deal as best we can

Murderers came from the skies

Intent upon our demise

Descending upon us like flies

To steal all the light from our eyes
