I walked across the desert a thousand miles And every second cost me a thousand lives And I closed my eyes, and I paid the price When all of nature's beauties wore off and died You promised me the heavens would make it right And I closed my eyes and trusted your lies
(My God is dead!) I pledged you my soul and my heart (My God is dead!) While you left us lost in the dark (My God is dead!) You preyed on my faith and I gave you my life (My God is dead!) You promised me heaven, instead... My God is dead
I watched as all I loved once returned to dust The world we used to live in, it drowns in rust But I close my eyes and turn to the skies With all the souls you gave us, with all those tears You didn't try and stop it in all those years You heard all those cries but you closed your eyes
(My God is dead!) I pledged you my soul and my heart (My God is dead!) While you left us lost in the dark (My God is dead!) You preyed on my faith and I gave you my life (My God is dead!) You promised me heaven, instead... My God is dead My God is dead
And soon there will be silence The last of all to come But you will still remember When we will all be gone You'll hear my voice forever Reminding you of us Forsaken, betrayed in our trust
(My God is dead!) I pledged you my soul and my heart (My God is dead!) While you left us lost in the dark (My God is dead!) You preyed on my faith and I gave you my life (My God is dead!) You promised me heaven, instead... My God is dead My God is dead My God is dead
