A Lower Deep - Gods And Monsters Lyrics

I saw a man with head in hands crying out God is dead
For hours and hours on end he poured out his convictions
Never met a man more wanting to be wrong
Searching for something to believe in

There was a child with nothing left in his world to fear
No creatures lurking in the shadows or crawling in his head
Imagination useless and dulled
No fantasy in nightmare or in his dreams

Where will we find life’s mystery
If all the questions have been answered
I don’t want to live in a world
Without gods, without monsters
I don’t want to live in a world
Without gods, without monsters

Are all the angels gone
The demons with their ritual stones
Is science now our god
Machines our conscience

Will time erase history
All trance of what we once believed
All sense of wonder gone
Faith drifts on winds so cold alone
Robots with minds we will become
Slaves to wires and circuitry

When belief is gone
Hope can only fade away
Deny the new masters
The old gods still reign

Where will we find life’s mystery
If all the questions have been answered
I don’t want to live in a world
Without gods, without monsters
I don’t want to live in a world
Without gods, without monsters
