Secrets Of The American Gods

(album: The God Machine - 2022)

Keep faith
Keep faith
In awe and wonder

Great Lord
Your love's divine
I spread your grace
I share your light

For the shores of hell were burning
In purgatory's smell
Went a preacher with a crucifix
Brought mayhem and despair
So here comes a new god
Be brave
A God-spelled illusion
A breeding of sin
I'll carry life

Come share the disgrace
Come share our pain
Somehow we're not one
Yet, somehow we're the same
Now strong in bloom
It shall begin
Soon forgotten
Withering
Hail, nice to meet you
Another numen stranger
I'm so
Glad you have made it
Somehow you've made it
Welcome to the promised lands

There are no signs
There are no miracles
Shadows bear no names
You should not reveal
Join the American gods
The secrets of the American gods
Transform to infinity
No one cares for names
You can't escape
Better hide now
The secrets of the American gods

So, when I look upon these fields of misery
Who would not sacrifice a son?
My son
It's now done
We share our tricks
We share our foes
Discorded plans
Distorted tunes
His dripping blood feeds
It's what this land needs
Life's creeping back into
Back into
Sadly to say but
Oh, there's no guidance
But, so bright
You're blazing starlight
And we are watching you
Watching you
Stranger in a new born land

Of homeless gods
And worn out miracles
On these fields of crows
You should not reveal
Join the American gods
The secrets of the American gods
Transform to infinity
No one cares for names
You better bow down
Praise the new lords
The secrets of the American gods

Take a look at yourself
Oh, behold
Here's another trick
But now enlight
Our path in glory
It is time to close your eyes
I shall live

Almost insubstantial
Resurrect
These moments gone
Contemplate desire
An eternal flame's
Burning down

Don't be scared
Follow the plan
On a lifeless tree
Black bird's singing
Behold
Your father of violence
The one-eyed god
It's sad
I thought you'd know that
The greatest liar is telling eternal truth
I thought you'd know that
I'm your master
Stranger in an unknown land

Of roaring silence
Dead end miracles
Bloody fields, bloody rules
I will now reveal
Join the American gods
The secrets of the American gods
Transform to infinity
No one cares for names
The moment is right
You shall cry out
The secrets of the American gods

The American gods
Yes, we travel all alone
A new play
A new scene
Dripping blood seals the deal
When we enter a new world
Stranded we are wandering
Time?
Time means nothing
To the American gods
No more sorrows
Praise the American gods
You are burning
Yes, you are burning
Oh, you must conquer your fear
You better save yourself
But now obey
The American gods
You better save yourself
