God Who?

Context: I believe it's time to stop relying on a so called God and start choosing our life by ourselves
Genre: Alternative Rock

[Verse 1] (Guitar: Clean w/ Light Overdrive)

I saw you laying down
Watching TV on your couch
Trying not to think about
How badly your life sucks

You said:
"God will help me pass through all this"
"I just need to sit down here"
"His comforting hand will guide me"
"Toward the solution of my worries"

I asked:
"What has he done for you?"
"You keep praying and hoping"
"For a respond that doesn't come"
"And by the way, who's your god?"

[Chorus 1] (Guitar: Heavy Disto)

Didn't you hear? God is dead
I know, they did not spread
The news around the world
By fear of a mass hysteria

Hey man, what will you do?
Without a buoy to hold on to
Maybe it's time for you
To build a destiny on your own

[Verse 2] (Guitar: Clean w/ Light Overdrive)

You haven't a single clue
About where your God comes from

You're following blindly
An old philosophical essay
That was twisted through time
By those who were seeking power

They've abused children
They've forced women to get pregnant
They've started wars
They've killed countless innocents

They compromise peace on earth!

[Chorus 2] (Guitar: Heavy Disto)

Didn't you hear? God is dead
I know, they did not spread
The news around the world
By fear of a mass hysteria

Hey man, what will you do?
Without a buoy to hold on to
Maybe it's time for you
To build a destiny on your own

[Bridge] (Guitar: Clean w/ Chorus)

All those atrocities in the name
Of a great, so much powerful icon
Who will save their life
And might even make them divine
If the sacrifice is big enough

And yet you still believe in
All the bullshit that was
Created a long time ago
Back when people was not that smart
And believed that the planet was flat

[Chorus 3] (Guitar: Heavy Disto)

Didn't you hear? God is dead
I know, they did not spread
The news around the world
By fear of a mass hysteria

Hey man, what will you do?
Without a buoy to hold on to
Maybe it's time for you
To build a destiny on your own

[Outro] (Guitar: Heavy Disto)

Look up at the sky
See with your eyes
Think with your brain
You'll realize soon
That you're on your own
