Keeping a distance to all that’s alive

The virus at this time strive

Stay in your home, cough in the sleeve

Armageddon if the media is to be believed

Never have the world needed a god more

Society has a flesh wound so sore

But the church is abandoned and mecca is a wasteland

No one holds our hand

Does he listen

To your prayers

Seems to me

Like god too calls in sick now

Heaven is suffering

No one listens to the ones below

As we cry ourselves

A sea of sorrow

A new plague has risen from the east

The earth has become a horror show

And in the sky the pearly gates are shut

Because god too calls in sick now

A disease so vast even he is bedridden

Almighty my ass, are you kidding

We have reached a point of no return

Where he is out of business as we yearn

Did you not spend hours telling me of his promises

Something about rainbows and doves

Well I sure as shit won’t start praying now

Off have now come the white gloves

Does he listen

To your prayers

Seems to me

Like god too calls in sick now

Heaven is suffering

No one listens to the ones below

As we cry ourselves

A sea of sorrow

A new plague has risen from the east

The earth has become a horror show

And in the sky the pearly gates are shut

Because god too calls in sick now

Taking care, holding my breath

Don’t touch what I don’t have to

I have no protection from any sky wizard

And neither for that matter do you

The plug has been pulled out of the socket

I keep my hands deep in my pocket

Not folded in belief or beating a shamans drum

If not from your god, where did this plague even come from

Heaven is suffering

No one listens to the ones below

As we cry ourselves

A sea of sorrow

A new plague has risen from the east

The earth has become a horror show

And in the sky the pearly gates are shut

Because god too calls in sick now

Calls in sick now
