The Olden Gods
They came from above
on chariots of fire
intent on delivering
knowledge inspired
The spaceports were built
seen only from above
scratched from the soil
carved from the rock
We welcomed them openly
praised their light
built statues of tribute
studied the night
They gave us a goal
then shut us down
seems we were smarter
than they bargained for
When we reached out
and touched the sky
they confused our tounges
so we couldn't fly
They were afraid
of losing their place
aloft in the heavens
Gods out of place
Then they descended
and took for mates
merging within us
create a new race
Mutants were born
then tried to disgrace
the very Gods
who ruled this place
The revolt came swiftly
and from it came
they abandoned the planet
went back whence they came
ever since that day
we still deny grace
defending the knowledge
keeping them away
on chariots of fire
intent on delivering
knowledge inspired
