The dead gods lay before me Skulls were as weak as grass under foot They screamed  forgiveness For the sorrow given, they were As their slaves of death, reaped, Life, Death, Eternity Isn't forever as eternals think, They fell before me, I showed them absolution Let them pray to those who looked Down upon them, then eternity ended Blood spilt not in anger, but justice Fallen, Released Freedom, For those underfoot, under staring eyes That have now fallen cold, Freedom from those who were praised But always fell on deaf ears, Now those ears hear no more calls, For the old gods are dead, Freedom for thought not for a Idol, Book Gods Never to be prayed upon, Idols now shattered pottery upon  the floor Books were ash, false promises no more, Gods thought they were our saviours Questions never answered, they Are now in eternal rest, we are our own future, Now that the  Old Gods Now Dead  we are free once more..

The Old Gods Died
The dead gods lay before me Skulls were as weak as grass under foot They screamed  forgiveness For the sorrow given, they were As their slaves of death, reaped, Life, Death, Eternity Isn't forever as eternals think, They fell before me, I showed them absolution Let them pray to those who looked Down upon them, then eternity ended Blood spilt not in anger, but justice Fallen, Released Freedom, For those underfoot, under staring eyes That have now fallen cold, Freedom from those who were praised But always fell on deaf ears, Now those ears hear no more calls, For the old gods are dead, Freedom for thought not for a Idol, Book Gods Never to be prayed upon, Idols now shattered pottery upon  the floor Books were ash, false promises no more, Gods thought they were our saviours Questions never answered, they Are now in eternal rest, we are our own future, Now that the  Old Gods Now Dead  we are free once more..
