Ancient Mythology by Transceiver Lyrics

Ancient mythology, what if it all were true
Only it happened on another planet instead of Greece or Rome?
And what if everything you’ve ever thought or heard
About the Ancient World derived from an oral tradition started by
Aliens from outer space three thousand years ago
Pretending to be Romans, wanting us to know the truth
About our planet’s history not wanting to reveal
Their alien identity lest primitive we’d feel?
Imagine Jason as an alien, Apollo, an alien god
And Perseus sent down to Earth in an alien pod
Ray Harryhausen, I hope you’re still alive--
You have a lot of animation to revise
Clash of the Titans, from the Kraken to the Sirens
Must be reshot and reset in their unearthly environs
And maybe it’s not so surprising that a flying horse could be
‘cause every planet’s got its own distinctive traits
And different kinds of gravity
Do you ever think about the stars?
Even a moment’s hesitation?
Then you’d realize how mankind
Came to choose the names of constellations
They took them from ancient mythology
They took them from ancient mythology
They took them from ancient mythology
They took them from ancient mythology
