Starving Gods (Death Whistle Suite)

(album: The New Dark Ages - 2022)

Priests feed a heart still beating
To the God of Sun and War
Body thrown down the temple steps
A sea of cannibals roar

The gods are starving
But they cannot die

The human engine waits, avatars it creates
Unsleeping and untrue
Sacred or obscene when you become machines
But the gods must have their due

The gods are starving
But they cannot die
They just go on not living
Starving for sacrifice

Where flesh is a prison, pleasure is forbidden
May you get what you deserve
Apotheosis, a magnum opus
We will have the last word
Homo Deus Homo Deus, rock me Homo Deus
The self-made gods of Earth
Sacrifice mythology for godlike technology
What is immortality worth?

Feed us your soul
The Gods are starving
For rock 'n' roll

The human engine waits, avatars it creates
Unsleeping and untrue
Sacred or obscene, you worship the machines
But the gods must have their due

Feed us your soul

Humans are the worst, everything's reversed
Your tools are using you
Deified, but you're all gonna die
And I ain't gonna cry when you do
