Secrets of the American Gods

(Keep faith, keep faith, in awe and wonder) Great Lord, your love's divine I spread your grace I share your light Four shores of Hell were burning In purgatory's smell When a preacher with a crucifix Brought mayhem and despair So here comes a new god, be brave A god-spelled illusion, the breeding of sin, I carry life Come share the disgrace, come share our pain Somehow we're not one yet somehow we're the same Now strong in bloom It shall begin, soon forgotten withering Hail, nice to meet you Another newborn stranger I'm so glad you have made it Somehow you've made it Welcome to the promised land There are no sights, there are no miracles (Shadows bare no names) You should not reveal (Join the American gods) The secrets of the American gods Transform to infinity (No one cares for names) You can't escape, better hide now The secrets of the American gods So when I look upon These fields of misery Who would not sacrifice a son? My son is now gone We share our tricks, we share our foes Discarded plans, distorted use It's dripping blood fields It's what this land needs Life's creeping back at you, back at you Sadly to say, but Hope there is no guidance, but So bright, you're blazing starlight And we are watching you, watching you Stranger in a newborn land Of homeless gods and worn out miracles (On these fields of crows) You should not reveal (Join the American gods) The secrets of the American gods Transform to infinity (No one cares for names) You better bow down, praise the new lords The secrets of the American gods Take a look at yourself All behold, here's another trick But now enlight of hope and glory It is time to close your eyes, I shall live Almost insubstantial Resurrect these moments gone Contemplate desire An eternal flame's burning down Don't be scared, follow the plan On lifeless tree black bird's singing Behold your Father of violence The one-eyed god is sad I thought you'd know that The greatest liar is telling you the total truth I thought you'd know that I'm your master Stranger in an unknown land Of roaring silence dead and miracles (Bloody fields, bloody roots) I will now reveal (Join the American gods) The secrets of the American gods Transform to infinity (No one cares for names) The moment is right, you should cry out The secrets of the American gods The American gods Yes, we travel all alone A new play, a new scene Dripping blood seals the deal When we enter a new world Stranded we're wandering Time? Time means nothing To the American gods No more sorrows, praise the American gods You are burning, yes, you are burning Or you must conquer your fear You better save yourself But now obey the American gods You better save yourself
