All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
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 Blegh! 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"

There was a time for change I fear it came and went Who's gonna pick up the pieces? Who will be left to repent? The sun is burnt out black Now there's no turning back Now there's no turning back Yeah, I know you know that we've been living a lie Turn a blind eye until the day we die Maybe we've passed the point of no return Maybe we just wanna watch the world burn We just wanna watch the world burn Our collapse will be remission The planet scarred beyond all recognition Suicide in slow motion Is this the path we have chosen? Too cowardly to face this We've got a fucking deathwish You wanna play with fire? Don't cry when you get burnt You gave us life We gave back death in return The sun is burnt out black Now there's no turning back We will consume until there's nothing left Remember us as a waste of breath Yeah, I know you know that we've been living a lie Turn a blind eye until the day we die Maybe we've passed the point of no return Maybe we just wanna watch the world burn We just wanna watch the world burn I know you know that we've been living a lie Maybe we've passed the point of no return We just want to watch the world burn I wanna believe that it all counts for something The writing is on the wall It's hard to accept that it was all for nothing All for nothing Yeah, I know you know that we've been living a lie Turn a blind eye until the day we die Maybe we've passed the point of no return Maybe we just wanna watch the world burn We just wanna watch the world burn

Contaminated, nothing is sacred Born and bred on pure hatred 'Cause they haunt our streets with a phantom fear No one is safe, no one is welcome here No one is welcome here Can you taste the poison in the air? I swear it's everywhere, it's everywhere Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white I'll chase the dying of the light They want the victims to hang their heads in shame Well, fuck them all, we won't play their game, we won't play their game I've seen through every word the prophets propagate This is a failed state So read between the lines, this is a failed state No love, no empathy Our fellow man is now our enemy No love, no unity Erase our souls, distort reality Can you taste the poison in the air? I swear it's everywhere, it's everywhere Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white I'll chase the dying of the light They will sow the seeds of blind contempt Then let us bleed until our hearts content Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white I'll chase the dying of the light No love, no empathy Our fellow man is now our enemy No love, no empathy No love, no unity Our fellow man is now our enemy

They want all for one and none for all I wanna be there to witness the downfall They'll only sell us out when our backs are turned But we'll keep paying the price until our lesson is learnt So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin Every snake has its price If the money's on the table, they don't think twice So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin We are paralysed But there are none so blind as those who will not see What's it going to take to get us to stand up? 'Cause you can see it in their eyes, they don't give a fuck About what matters to us Another faceless figure, an empty silhouette They'll line their pockets and leave us six feet deep in debt So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin Always out for blood, preying on the weak We can count on them to paint the future bleak But we're still standing by whilst they bleed us dry We are paralysed But there are none so blind as those who will not see What's it going to take to get us to stand up? 'Cause you can see it in their eyes, they don't give a fuck About what matters to us So enough is enough What's it going to take to get us to stand up? 'Cause you can see it in their eyes, they don't give a fuck Right and wrong, it's all the same to me Thick as thieves as far as I can see They are leeches all (They are leeches all) Right and wrong, it's all the same to me (Same to me) Thick as thieves as far as I can see (I can see) They are leeches all But we're still standing by whilst they bleed us dry They want all for one and none for all I wanna be there to witness the downfall We are paralysed They want all for one and none for all I wanna be there to witness the downfall

The weight of my world is resting on thin ice When the surface breaks, will I find paradise? As I freeze to death, left to reflect What a waste of time, I was in retrospect I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve (I'm always gone with the wind) (Crawling in and out of my mind) (God knows I lost all my faith) A sickness with no remedy Except the ones inside of me (Inside of me) You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate, annihilate me (Annihilate me) Do you remember when you said to me "My friend, hope is a prison"? Hope is a prison, blegh Of all the patterns that I could create I built a labyrinth with no escape To keep myself under lock and key I am my own worst enemy I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve I'm always gone with the wind Crawling in and out of my mind God knows I lost all my faith A sickness with no remedy Except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate, annihilate me A sickness with no remedy Except the ones inside of me (Inside of me) You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate, annihilate me If I could silence all the doubt in me Accept that what is meant to be (Is meant to be) You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate, annihilate me I remember when you said to me "My friend, hope is a prison"

Just let go, gravity, hold on to me So come and wash us away Just thank fuck we don't last forever It's now or never Is this the catalyst? Just let me burn the bridge that leads me nowhere 'Cause it's gone and it's never coming back So make no mistake It's just a matter of time before the wave breaks So stand your ground, the Earth will shake So twist the knife 'cause I am finally awake So come and wash us away Just thank fuck we don't last forever It's now or never Is this the catalyst?

The workers all march to the beat of the drum Their spirits are broken, they have nowhere to run They dream of courage and a loaded gun But the slaves all know, they better bite their tongue Track marks across the planet Are there any veins left for them to infect? They would kill one another just to disconnect Three cheers for desperation God bless the godforsaken We will arm them to the teeth To fight, to fight the war on peace All love is lost, so carry the cross 'Cause there's no human in us left, we are music made for the deaf They play a game that they know they'll never win Sick and tired of the world they're living in The messiah showed up high on heroin, on heroin The workers all march to the beat of the drum They fell into the trap, taken one by one The medicine is poison, but it makes them numb 'Cause all that they feel is pain and regret Existence is just something they would rather forget Three cheers for desperation God bless the godforsaken We will arm them to the teeth To fight, to fight the war on peace All love is lost, so carry the cross 'Cause there's no human in us left, we are music made for the deaf They play a game that they know they'll never win Sick and tired of the world they're living in The messiah showed up high on heroin, on heroin Is this freedom? Is this the life you chose? If this is living the dream We've hit an all-time low All love is lost, so carry the cross 'Cause there's no human in us left, we are music made for the deaf They play a game that they know they'll never win Sick and tired of the world they're living in The messiah showed up high on heroin, on heroin

There is no endgame So whisper the truth and pass on the blame Just put us out of our misery This defeat is a victory We're burning out, we're fading away A failed evolution Is the problem the solution that they've been searching for? We're waiting for the world to save itself 'Cause nothing is built to last We're writing our epitaph So reset and start again 'Cause we all know how this ends Before long we'll be dead and gone A thorn in the side of the earth Where do you draw the line? A flaw in the design The rest is history This defeat is a victory We're burning out, we're fading away "We live in an infinite growth paradigm Nothing grows forever, it's not possible As the great, uh, psychologist, James Hillman wrote 'The only thing that grows in the human body After a certain age is cancer' And I think that, that's clearly what we're seeing At the end of human industrial civilization With the population approaching seven billion" We're all guilty as sin I feel it, I feel it under my skin Always up in arms without lifting a finger Lifting a finger, oh We may be infinite, but this world is not Something that we once knew, that we long forgot That we long forgot We're waiting for the world to save itself 'Cause nothing is built to last We're writing our epitaph So reset and start again 'Cause we all know how this ends Before long we'll be dead and gone We're all guilty as sin I feel it, I feel it under my skin Always up in arms without lifting a finger Lifting a finger We may be infinite, but this world is not Something that we once knew, that we long forgot
