God killer

A thousand prayers rose into air A thousand times, you were not there We raised your temples tall and wide We swore our blood would serve your pride We fought the wars you chose to start And praised your silence as an art Our children cried for scraps of bread Your thunder rolled above their heads So hear the oath inside my chest A mortal voice you once suppressed I am the blade beneath your crown The mortal come to strike you down You mocked the hands that begged your grace Now hear the wrath of mortal race If gods can bleed beneath the sky Then gods can fall; and gods can die (God killer) (God killer) You called us ants beneath your feet A crawling swarm beneath your seat But even ants can flood the ground And drag a towering giant down This sword once trembled in my grip Now vengeance guides its every slip You thought no mortal hand could rise Yet here I stand before your eyes I am the blade beneath your crown The mortal sworn to strike you down You mocked the hands that begged your grace Now hear the wrath of mortal race If gods can bleed beneath the sky Then gods can fall; and gods can die (God killer) (God killer) You laughed while cities turned to graves You crowned yourselves as lords of slaves We begged for mercy, begged for aid You just watched the suffering YOU made I am not all that you will face I’m just the first to storm your gates When one man learns a god can bruise A thousand more will follow through If gods can bleed beneath the sky Then gods can fall; and gods can die (God killer) (God killer)
