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
