God Complex Songtext
von Godeater

A series of words to hide a lesson unlearned
Distract and delay the way you prefer
Human/inhuman
The tether is severed
The othering starts
This twisted endeavour
The pain is forever

An insignificant island nation with ideas above its station
Are you noticing a pattern?
Leaps of logic come dyed in the wool
Terminally deluded
It′s only yourselves you manage to fool

A nation waits
Breath baited
In the shadow of an obsolete weapon
A nation waits
Breath baited
We hold a blunt knife to the throat of a colossus


Slide down the slope, getting ever closer
A supernatural veil for a darker reality
Their words hide a nuclear wind
Like a breeze through chimes
Before the storm
Before the crossed line

A series of words to hide a lesson unlearned
Distract and delay the way you prefer
Human/inhuman
The tether is severed
The othering starts
This twisted endeavour
The pain is forever
You see yourself as the hero
You're the only one
Barrels (Gun?) to the head in mutual respect
The threat rests in the hand not the gun

Does it disappoint you to know your version of evil doesn′t exist?
Just people in power hiding what's real

You have no idea where this path will end
Is it worse to imagine that maybe you do
After all you're only human


An insignificant island nation with ideas above its station
Are you noticing a pattern?
Leaps of logic come dyed in the wool
Only yourselves you fooled
Does it make it easier to accept
To imagine great horns, gnashing teeth, sharp claws, black eyes
Absolute power
Dooms us all in the end

You may only see a rotten flower
But it sits atop a stem
Roots and soil
And to get to where its got to
It′s needed water to drink
Air to breathe
And sunlight on which to feed
