lyrics

Here come the Hittites
Riding winged panthers
behind the hill above the tree line
It doesn't look good for our salvation
asses and goats their main agenda

I get their message, it's in Cuniform
with hieroglyphic footnotes
It said, "Start walking, We got your daughter she is with us now".
Better try and bury it all that evidence
Beads and pots made for archeologists
masking a network of telepathic mindscapes

If they love us with their animals
will the gods be inclined to punish
Out on the trade routes
Abandoned zigurats
civilisation contracting like amoeba
dipped into acid, sudden mood reversal

Their advantage, they got teachers
men with beards and a coming back guaranteed.
