Lyrics

UNLIKELY GODS

If you pray to a god whose creed
Is to fill the hearts of man with greed
Steal from them the only seed
To sprout or stem and someday feed them
Your words so soulless, cluttering
Ashamed to watch you stuttering
I pity what becomes of this but this won?t grant
The bitter wish I wished for you

You?ve taken all the things I love
Made them cheap and made them smug

If you bow to unlikely gods
Too often who are sleeping
Or came by way of proxy
Then the benefits you?re reaping
Will keep the questions in the wings

I don?t believe in bashful gods
Afraid to ask for what they want
I don?t believe in bashful gods

You?ve taken all the things I love
Made them cheap and made them smug

If you pray to a god who follows
Fearing always to stand alone
Giving only to receive some shallow
Gratitude then platitudes are everything that?s
Owed to you


You?ve taken all the things I love
Made them cheap and made them smug
Empty hearts and minds replace
A world I wanted to embrace
K
