The God in Ruins Lyrics


Oh grandeur of such destiny

To fall from the immeasurable heights

To fall and to become broken



I who have no end and no beginning

I who am not like any other

Without companion and comparison



Through the minds and tongues

Of lunatics

I spoke to men of might



They built statues and temples

To conciliate my anger

They wrote thousands of pages of studies

To construe my existence

They painted pictures

And constructed mandalas

To open the gates

To my enlightenment



And I was never there

I never revealed my mysteries to them

I was always away

Far away

In the hearts of those who

Covered with their own sick

Crawled in the gutters



With strong drugs burning in their veins

With faces branded with violence

With appearances of inner emptiness

With lust for love and comfort

But aptitude only for rape and murder



Like them

I have no tears

And no laughter

No joy

No sorrow



They are empty

And I am overwhelming

We balance each other



My ultimate light

Deepens their pitiful shadows

Together we create darkness

That lurks in the cold corners

Of candlelit temples



Weak is the human heart

And always longing to enter my kingdom

But the doors are closed

And the festivals have ended



Love was given

And love was lost

You are together in suffering

I am alone and out of your reach



Fallen into the pit

Inside the interiors of myself

Inside the creation of myself

And the apocalypse of your age
