Lyrics
(Keep faith, keep faith, in awe and wonder)
Great Lord, your love's divine
I spread your grace
I share your light
For the shores of Hell were burning
In purgatory's smell
Went a preacher with a crucifix
Brought mayhem and despair
So here comes a new God, be brave
A God-spelled illusion, a breeding of sin, I'll 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 numen 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 bear 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, it's now done
We share our tricks, we share our foes
Discorded plans, distorted tunes
His dripping blood feeds
It's what this land needs
Life's creeping back into, back into
Sadly to say, but
Oh, 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
Oh, behold, here's another trick
But now enlight our path in 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 a lifeless tree, black bird's singing
Behold your father of violence
The one-eyed God
It's sad, I thought you'd know that
The greatest liar is telling you eternal truth
I thought you'd know that
I'm your master, stranger in an unknown land
Of roaring silence
Dead end miracles (bloody fields, bloody rules)
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 shall 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 are wandering
Time? Time means nothing
To the American Gods
No more sorrows
Praise the American Gods
You are burning
Yes, you are burning
Oh, you must conquer your fear
You better save yourself
But now obey the American Gods
You better save yourself
