Negative 7 - Gods lyrics

We entrust to you our future In the hopes you'll guard it well Keep watch over our desires Save us from the promised hell So you can shield us from ruin Curtail all our ambition Forewarn us of all dangers A God of our own making We'll gift you such a tribute Swear oaths come what may Incentivise our kindness Teach our children how to pray So you can shield us from ruin Curtail all our ambition Forewarn us of all dangers A God of our own making We'll rise in anger at your failings Scoff at unanswered vows Hold you to our standards Derision on our brows Burn down all your temples Tear down all your scripture Rise above all your teachings And think for our own selves So we can pillage your commandments Choose what suits us best Create a new religion And destroy all the rest So you can shield us from ruin Curtail all our ambition Forewarn us of all dangers A God of our own making
