Earth Gods - Wisdom In Chains

They’ve arrived

They’re here to rule us

Here to control us

They’re here to feed on us

They feed the hungry

But steal from the poor

They want to be served

But also adored

They walk among us

But slightly above us

There’s hardly a difference

They demand worship from us

Who’s gonna pull our strings?

And what do we do with our pride?

We’ll offer it up to the Earth Gods

They need our affection

They crave our attention

Let’s give them daily devotion

'Cause we don’t want them angry at us

They live in conversations

Whispered soft and envious

They give us meaning

A reason to keep on breathing

And all they want is our love

They eat fear and joy

Love and hate

Peace and war

They’re never satisfied, they want it all

They demand worship from everyone of us

Who’s gonna pull our strings?

And what do we do with our pride?

We’ll offer it up to the Earth Gods

No more mystery

Or praying to an unseen deity

I speak to Earth Gods constantly

They promise to keep me safe so I do what they say

It’s such a waste

Praying to a God that don’t exist

When you can meet them face to face

And they can decide what should be your fate

What an honor, what a privilege

They’ve chosen you, take advantage

So we can learn from them and maybe one day

We can be one of the Earth Gods

We can be just like them
