lyrics

What do you do when your gods die?
Where’s the expected apocalypse?
Yesterday we went to pray,
Muttered oaths from sealed lips.
Sure, the sky should rip in two,
Angels rain down fire and love,
Drizzled in a British grey,
All is empty up above.

When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods.

Carry on we carry forth,
Topics disparate and mundane,
Inside we rant and pull our hair,
Outside we talk of coming rain.
The tides present and then take back,
From Bladderwrack to ragnorak,
Do gods obey the season’s sway,
Should we mourn for what they lack?

When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods.

What do you do when your gods die?
Turn atheist or claim retreat,
Sacrifice or self-entomb,
Curl up beneath your master’s feet.
What do you do when your gods die?
Gods that live inside of you?
What do you do when your gods die?
Does part of you die too?

When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods.
When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods,
When we were devilish,
When we were big fish in small ponds,
When we were gods.
