Chariot Of The Gods Song Lyrics

Chariot Of The Gods by Hoodoo Gurus

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
