This God Is Dead

[Part 1 - Smoke and Mirrors]
Blindly, across the sea
Your love
Lit my way through storm and shade
For a thousand years

Today, and every day
Let me be your light
Let me be your light always

Another battle, another day
To face the light and pull away from the embrace
Of the shadows where I survive
The agony reminds me I'm alive

Oh, mother, I wonder if you knew
Oh, father, if only I could speak with you
Did you love my smoke and mirrors?
That would be enough, that would be enough

I know you found it, that dream you chased
Don’t ever think that what you love is a mistake
Despite the demons that rule you mind
Stay the course, everything will be alright

Your mother, she watches over you
My daughter, just know that we are proud of you
From the beyond, you’ll never hear us
But you have our love, you have our love

Can't afford to die, and can't afford to lose

Sweet angel, wish I had been enough for you
All I am is smoke and mirrors

Would you love me if you knew?
Could you love me if you knew?

[Part 2 - Mania and Nothing]
What happened to me?
I never saw these bones
I wear this skin like someone else’s clothes
These scraps of childhood scenes are roughly sewn
There’s no tomorrow
Just a day that started lifetimes ago

Back and forth
Mania and nothing
Nothing at all

Back and forth
Mania and nothing
Nothing at all

What happened to me?
Who am I? Who am I?
Everything I’ve been feels like it’s a lie
Food makes me sick and drink makes me fade
Are these my memories?
Am I even awake?

Back and forth
Mania and nothing
Nothing at all

Back and forth
Mania and nothing
Nothing at all

[Part 3 - The Majesty]
Bow before the majesty
This loathsome demon reborn
Life with new purpose
See the earth through the young eyes
Feel the universe through an ancient soul

[Part 4 - Beneath the Morning Star]
I have known all and nothing
I have stared into the void until it haunted my dreams
Screamed and smiled beneath the morning star
And conducted the chorus of grim constellations

Their lights lied, I died a thousand times
Floating frozen past their majesties
I wandered too far into the black

Non est otium
Tibi putesce mari aeterno
Abhorremus te

Non est otium
Tibi putesce mari aeterno
Abhorremus te

Endless nights awake in vain
My imploding brain
Torturing my psyche, there was no escaping myself
My failures, my hatred, my losses, my loathing
There was no hollow peace

This has been my final death, finally accept
All that I am, and all that I'm meant to be
Perhaps eternally

Non est otium
Tibi putesce mari aeterno
Abhorremus te

[Part 1 - Smoke and Mirrors (reprise)]
Blindly, across the sea

Your love

Lit your way through storm and shade
For a thousand years

Today, and every day

I will be your light
Let me be your light
Always

[Part 5 - This God is Dead]
Guide of the lost
Guardian of the broken
Bringer of peace in final hours
Happiness is a choice
And purpose, a charted course
I am but a soul-keeper
And this God is dead
