Album: All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us (2016)
Play Video
  • We are beggars
    We are so fucking weak
    And once upon a time we had the world at our feet
    Well, we're all dying to meet our maker
    But all our Gods have abandoned us

    All our Gods have abandoned us

    This is the great esoteric depression
    We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation
    We are all the shades of misery
    The reigning champions of tragedy
    They use their faith as a weapon
    They count our sins by the seven
    Blackwater at the gates of heaven

    All hail the corporatocracy
    The word of God written in binary
    All hail our apostasy
    The dying notes in an unholy symphony

    All our Gods have abandoned us

    This is the great esoteric depression
    We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation

    I found God clutching a razor blade
    He said "look at the fucking mess they've made
    They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold"

    We are beggars
    We are so fucking weak
    And once upon a time we had the world at our feet
    Well, we're all dying to meet our maker
    But all our Gods have abandoned us

    All our Gods have abandoned us

    All our Gods have abandoned us

    I found God clutching a razor blade
    He said look at the fucking mess they've made
    They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold
    But they're as worthless as the souls they sold Writer/s: ALEX DEAN, DAN SEARLE, SAM CARTER, THOMAS SEARLE
