Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lost in the darkness
I fade from the light
Faith of my father, my brother, my maker and savior
Help me make it through the night
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 un-whole?
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
To safeguard my philosophy
Until my dying breath
I transfer from reality
Into a living death
[Verse 8]
I empathize with enemies
Until the timing's right
With God and Satan at my side
From darkness will come light
[Verse 9]
I watch the rain as it turns red
Give me more wine, I don't need bread
These riddles that live in my head
I don't believe it, God is dead
God is dead
[Verse 10]
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Wondering if we will meet again
On the other side
[Verse 11]
Do you believe a word
What the good book said?
Or is it just a holy fairytale
And God is dead?
[Verse 12]
God is dead
God is dead
God is dead
God is dead
[Verse 13]
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
[Verse 14]
God is dead
God is dead
God is dead
