Gods Of This Age


We are the gods of this age
We are the idols of flesh and bone
Cast down the ancient order in rage
Destroy the old symbols of iron and stone

The world can burn down around us
No one will speak our secret name
The world can descend down from us
No one will look at our naked shame

We are the gods of this age
The idols of muscle and sinew
Flee from you rusted cage
There is nothing not one thing new

We the gods of this new age
We are the idols of sex and love
You are all so decadent in auto-phage
You never look up, look up above

The world can sink down in the mud
No one will spill our sacred blood
The world can sink down in the flood
No one will ask us for a taste of blood

We are the gods of this age
We are the idols of flesh and bone
Cast down the ancient order in rage
Destroy the old symbols of iron and stone

The old gods left you all cold
The old gods were never bold
The old gods didn't know you name
The old gods gazed wide-eyed at your shame.
The old gods took away your purity
The old gods marketed your beauty

We are the gods of this age
We are the idols of flesh and bone
Cast down the ancient order in rage
Destroy the old symbols of iron and stone
