Ancients Lyrics

Cover art for Ancients lyrics by Gary Numan

A great example of Gary trying to expound of the concept of "Gods" or forces/beings on a separate plane than us. The different "powers" they might possess. The subtle ways that they might affect our lives/universe.

I like the lines "Some will die/In your name/Give their soul to you/For safe keeping". I like the way Gary turns the "god" concept around and puts the listener into the "godly" position. They die in YOUR name, and give THEIR soul to YOU for safe keeping. Nice twist.

Oh, and a beautiful song.
