"Metal Gods" as written by and Glenn Raymond/halford Tipton....
We've taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own
Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart
From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was spreading like a disease
Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Fearing for our lives
Reaped by robot's scythes
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand
Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own
Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart
From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was spreading like a disease
Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Fearing for our lives
Reaped by robot's scythes
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand
Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath

Please lay off the Ambian and consult your doctor Immediately!
These hallucinations you are having cannot be good for you.
Was Abe Lincoln & a groundhog involved in any way with the BJ ?

Most of the song is self explanatory once you know that.
“Iron feet” is obscure reference to Daniel 2:33 — living in two worlds — dreaming of a man. (More flamboyantly, “Dragging iron feet” might mean gays in drag marching through the street.)
“Disease” — yeah, that’s an unfortunate irony. AIDS was first discovered the year after this release.
“Fearing for our lives” he really says “LIES” — he annunciates that pretty clearly, to my ears, and it makes perfect sense.
“Death” is Shakespearean era euphemism for orgasm. The last stanza is literally about receiving a blow-job.
All those silly teen boys who loved Priest in the 80s and 90s had NO IDEA they were chanting gay mantras all those years - myself included. [No-gay.] In 2013 it’s hilarious. In 1980 I probably would have gotten into a fistfight with someone who pointed it out to me.
