Lost in the darkness

I fade from the light

Faith of my father

my brother, my maker

and saviour

Help me make it

through the night

Blood on my conscience

And murder in mind

Out of the gloom

I rise up from my tomb

into impending doom

now my body

is my shrine

The blood runs free

the rain turns red

give me the wine

you keep the bread

The voices echo

in my head

is God alive

or is God dead?

Is God dead?

Rivers of evil

Run through

dying land

Swimming in sorrow

they kill, steal and borrow

there is no tomorrow

for the sinners

will be damned

Ashes to ashes

You cannot

exhume a soul

Who do you trust

when corruption and lust

creed of all the unjust

leaves you empty

and unwhole?

When will this

nightmare be over?

Tell me!

When can I empty

my head?

Will someone tell me

the answer?

Is God really dead?

Is God really dead?

To safeguard

my philosophy

until my dying breath

I transfer from reality

into a mental dead

I empathize with

enemies until the

timing's right

With God and Satan

at my side

from darkness

will come light

I watch the rain

and it turns red

give me more wine

I don’t need bread

These riddles that

live in my head

I don’t believe that

God is dead

God is dead

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

Wondering if we will

meet again

on the other side

Do you believe a word

What the good

book said?

Or is this just a holy

fairytale and

God is dead?

God is dead

God is dead

God is dead

God is dead

Right!

But still the voices

in my head

are telling me

that God is dead

The blood pours down

the rain turns red

I don’t believe that

God is dead

God is dead

God is dead

God is dead
