Like the very gods

In His sight are they

Creatures who walk the earth

In His eyes they die

Close to you to hear

The sweetness of their prayer

Falling on deaf ears

He will turn away

Of the holy word, they ask forgiveness too

On their knees for you, they don't look upon themselves

Christ redeems the few, while others are left to rot

Claim the Godlike self, this kingdom is yours

Joy is kept for Him

My spirit breaks for them

Of the heart is always man

And shaken stops beating

Beneath the skin is flame

That burns for sanctity

Say nothing to muted thunder

And death take this fever

Of the holy word, they ask forgiveness too

On their knees for you, they don't look upon themselves

Christ redeems the few, while others are left to rot

Claim the Godlike self, this kingdom is yours
