"Godforsaken World" lyrics

Shut up talking, it'll do no good
The Devil's walking where God once stood
I tried to fathom the balance of power
But it all means shit in the final hour

Fed the holy host and I caught the infection
Now I'm just a ghost's narcissist reflection
Damned, deceived, and anger I hurled
At the god of this godforsaken world

Follow me down, away from the breaking sound
And every faithless breach of the sun
Ma and my father dead
I'm crazy in the head
I'm an orphan with a gun
I'm an orphan with a gun

Wash my soul in a pool of blood
As I lie face down in the rain and mud
Making believe this world is fine
Is like hoping the tumor is benign

Fed the bullshit and I ate it like a sucker
Bought the holy writ like a dumb motherfucker
My fingers into a fist, I curled
And shook it at the god of this godforsaken world

Fly away from this darkened day
As a cloud demurs the sun
The Devil tricked him, I won't be a victim
My shroud obscures a gun

The plague is burning down my town
People sick and dying all around
Our pride and avarice brought this to us
We duck the sword, but it still goes through us

They tied our hands, ripped out our tongue
And told us only the good die young
I watched as a yellow flag unfurled
And cursed the god of this godforsaken world

With its tainted smell and its grim death bell
Like a shattered bloody hit-and-run
Yeah, you want release, I'll give you peace
All you have to do is pick up the gun
