Rock Gods

(Album: Co-Starring - 2020)

I stood in disbelief and wondered when the madness is gonna be done
The grievous tears come upon me in consequence of Route 91
Then I was in a studio and once again I broke down and cried
A voice come on my headphones and told me Tom Petty died

Ain't nobody left to sing the blues the way they supposed to be sung
Everybody's talking, no body's listening... It's like we just speaking in tongues
There's a beauty that we witness when standing in a sacred place
Yet looking at the disarray elsewhere you think maybe God's run out of grace

All the rock gods are dead or dying
Seems the whole world is broken and crying
It is more than prayers we are needing
We're all on a cross, alone and bleeding
Hey engineer, can you take it back
This train is coming off the tracks

We were as beautiful as angels
When we were born with virtue and trust
Then our innocence was lost, burned off or turn to rust
We were betrayed by black winged shadows
Rising in the darkness at dusk
Stealing us away from the light, leaving broken toys in the dust
