And the Gods Fell Down

From On the Advent of a Dream

And the Gods Fell Down

Lyrics

You held their words like sacred lines Swore their wisdom would stand through time Every promise, every vow Now their echoes are fading somehow

But the doubts grew, the cracks ran deep A silence where authority used to speak

They traded the truth for power and gain Silenced the voices that called out their name And when you let go of the grace you had found The heavens surrendered and the gods fell down

They taught you well, they wrote the rules Said knowledge saves and faith renews They led the march, they raised the sound But where are they now it's come down

But the doubts grew, the cracks ran deep A silence where authority used to speak

They traded the truth for their own good Ignored the prophets, replaced where they stood And when you gave up all the grace you had found The heavens surrendered and the gods fell down

What do you hold when the fire is cold What do you trust when the lies unfold Where do you turn when the echoes fade Or do you stand in the ruins you made

They traded your faith for their own good Ignored the prophets, replaced where they stood And when you abandoned the grace you had found The heavens surrendered and the gods fell down

The heavens surrendered... and the gods fell down
