Lyrics
Intro
Oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 1
Silver wings cut through heavy black
Looked up like children staring back
Searching the velvet void for light
Thought the heavens opened up at night
Gold and salt was their only hunger
Their steel giants made us feel younger
Mastered fire to feed the hole
Iron grip upon a newborn soul
Pre-Chorus
(Hammer strikes against the vein)
Knowledge given for the pain
They came with lightning in their palm
(To break the planet's holy calm)
Chorus
Not creators just a mining crew!
Trading stars for things we knew
Drilling deep for cosmic greed!
(They left the earth to bleed)
They were never gods of grace!
Just invaders from a far off space!
Just an ancient mining crew
(An ancient mining crew)
Drop
Verse 2
(Rage rose up against the cage)
Flipped the leaf on a bloody page!
(They watched our hammers start to fall)
Called the ocean to bury it all!
(Waves crashed over city walls)
Empty silence in the palace halls!
(They left us drowned and split away)
Left their wreckage to turn to grey....
Pre-Chorus
Machines locked in rust and time
Guilty of a silent crime
Left the gears to freeze and rot
The ancestors they forgot!
Drop
Chorus
Not creators just a mining crew!
Trading stars for things we knew
Drilling deep for cosmic greed
(They left the earth to bleed)
They were never gods of grace
Just invaders from a far off space!
Just an ancient mining crew
(An ancient mining crew)
Bridge
Now we climb the skeletal stone
Claim the junk for our very own....
(Wire and scrap in a muddy trench)
Holding tight to the copper stench
(The mysteries are just old parts)
Cold remains of their hollow hearts....
Chorus
(Not creators just a mining crew)
Trading stars for things we knew
Drilling deep for cosmic greed!
(They left the earth to bleed)
They were never gods of grace
Just invaders from a distant space!
Just an ancient mining crew
(An ancient mining crew)
