Old Gods

Lyrics for Old Gods

The one God comes to drive out the many gods Old rules broken, burnt down See the smoke move, coasting through the burnt town Choking, trying to get their words out No, not now, how? Hoping as the Earth turns 'round Hoping somehow that things turn 'round Knowing damn well how things turned out 'Cause when worlds collide, old gods die Or they just hide, put on a disguise But just a couple generations down the line People gon' forget the translations to the signs And the old gods left and now your soul can't find I'ma hold my breath and I'ma close my eyes And open 'em wide Hope born up back out with both you and I No matter where you is at, looking to the same skies You don't get as true as that At the same time Thousand miles apart, same frame of mind Old gods, where have you gone? Old gods, there's still a few parts of you I see in our new god Were you here before? Is it true, god? I wanna know more Why can't we know both? Rip the nose off that Thor wolf This ain't skewed how it really went But I know the holiest temple of all Is when I'm in the sun feeling wind Old gods, so far been gone so long, still I'm holding on It's part of who we were, so in the end It's part of who we are Even the religious wish on a shooting star Every gem in every king's crown on their head Came from the ground, excavated mine Polished or shined, placed to rest on the board Spire of the so-called divine and the blessed So-called civilized in spite of the cleanse The events they invent while the bards wrote songs Of the wars that they fought with their men Who fought 'til they died They ain't oughta mention in a single bar that they said Who should know what the king really fought in the flesh Or just sat on his horse in the back for the flex To add context for the text that we read It's fact, but is it really that in the end? Old gods, there's still a few parts of you I see in our new god Were you here before? Is it true, god? I wanna know more Why can't we know both? Rip the nose off that Thor wolf This ain't skewed how it really went But I know the holiest temple of all Is when I'm in the sun feeling wind Old gods, so far been gone so long, still I'm holding on It's part of who we were, so in the end It's part of who we are
