The God Syndrome Lyrics


Cold neurotic hands tremble and shake

As they reach down to take up the snake

The snake spoke through a hiss and a whine

Saying the time is now, now is the time

Be like God who sits on high,

Make Him in your likeness, imprison Him in the sky

Chain Him tight to His glowing throne

And he’ll beg for you to love Him like a dog craves a bone

This is yours now to rule and reign

Everything you touch shall bear your name

Yes, you are man deceived by pride and greed

And in the end you shall bow your knee

Mental disorder, mentally deranged

A trick of the devil, a tool of his game

Guilt trip confession, religious refrain

The answers seem hidden beneath a world of shame

Try to get your sleep while living

Rest when you are awake

Resist the devil in your life when he comes to complicate

Keep our eyes open regardless of the cost

Prop them open until they burn

Pluck them out when they are deceitful

When they lie to your head

And on judgment day you’ll rise from the dead

The life I live is the will of God

The world I live in is from my own imagination

The steps I take are foreordained

The road I’ve traveled is paved with colors I cannot name

The songs in my head I could never sing

The music that I hear, the notes do not exist

Those that travel with me, have come so close

To touching the heart of eternal bliss

Holy Water

New Wine

Jesus forgives them all - forevermore
