Great Galactic Ghoul
Tree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About the Viking probe
Or the photos of
Martian pyramids
The evidence is obvious that there exists another form of
Now on the red planet
Why won't they just admit?
Why won't they let us know?
The evidence is obvious that there exists another form of
Intelligence but mankind just afraid to face themselves
The Great Galactic Ghoul
Has made us look like fools
And in a perfect flight
Smashed a satellite
MATE THE APE, WITH THE ALIEN
THE SEED, THE SERPENT, IN THE GARDEN
IS ALL HUMANITY JUST A BLASPHEMY
MADE IN THE IMAGE OF SOMETHING ODD
I know it sounds bizarre
But there's a face on mars
Why do they hide the fact?
Of alien artifact
While NASA still denies alien life survives
Why won't they let us know?
What the photos show
The evidence is obvious that there exists another form of
Intelligence but mankind just afraid to face themselves with the truth
Out in the depths of space
There lives an ancient race
Did our missing link
Build the Martian Sphinx
The song "Great Galactic Ghoul" by Tree is a controversial one that questions whether there is possibility of life on Mars and if NASA has been hiding the truth from the public. The lyrics talk about the Viking probe that landed on Mars in 1976 and took photographs of what looked like pyramids on the planet. It questions why NASA has not revealed the truth behind the photos and whether there exists another form of intelligence on Mars.
The song also talks about the "Great Galactic Ghoul" which refers to an extraterrestrial monster that devours satellites and other spacecraft. The lyrics state that the Ghoul has made humanity look like fools and has destroyed a satellite in a perfect flight. The song then talks about the possibility of humans being made in the image of aliens and how our missing link could have built the Martian Sphinx.
Overall, the lyrics of "Great Galactic Ghoul" convey a sense of skepticism towards NASA's handling of information about Mars and the possibility of alien life. It questions whether there are secrets being hidden from the public and the reasons behind it.
