Nu God

Awakened from his slumber, a grain of sand falls to the ground
A shadow cast, a plague imposed upon this cursed town
An old god summons forth a blinding shockwave from the earth
The time has come, his prophets near, what will his priest declare

Bow down, start to chant
See his power follow his commands
On your knees, to Him you'll pray
Your destiny awaits this day
Bow down, keep up the chant
Or you'll see his wrath, his blood red hands
Know your place, you will obey
It's his time now, and it's judgement day

So this self proclaimed sun god decided he'd rule man
Anyone who questions him would fall by his hand
So the people gathered, one by one, as shadows began to fall
To worship a new god, save their souls and be ready for the call

Bow down, start to chant
See his power follow his commands
On your knees, to Him you'll pray
Your destiny awaits this day
Bow down, keep up the chant
Or you'll see his wrath, his blood red hands
Know your place, you will obey
It's his time now, and it's judgement day

The sun painted days on the faces of the men
The tributes they would raise would absolve them of sin
Demands were met or tongues were cut to abide by His laws
But the only language that this "god" spoke was with proliferating force

You think you can stop a god
It's not a god but a man we stop
I can give and take the Sun
You have no power, we will not run

You dare deceive a god like me
You are no god, you're just like me
You turn your back on your own faith
How can I believe that which is fake!

We'll eradicate this god, through the waters of chaos
With the very being of a god that was created to save us
Some enslaved, gone insane with the constant burning pain
We'll attack the man behind the mask to end the sun god's reign

We'll break down the faith, for our people's sake
Unmask the man who prides his being on the lives that he can take
And rock the boat on the waters from which he rose
Or stand back and do nothing, as our misery grows

We'll see the end of this god
'Cause we are more than just a mob
We now see what you truly are
You're not the god that we first saw
We now have, our new faith
And with it powers, that you can't take
You're just a mad man trying to set the world alight
But you didn't consider the fact that we would fight
Times have changed, but the people stay the same
No matter who screams the loudest or acts the most insane
Bleeding hands, hearts and minds, from life sentences in mines
And for what? A command. A voice from up top
The illusion
But now we're starting
To see through it
Not a god, but a vision, not some lethal blade incision
Just a reason to exist, come together grab our swords and resist
The ground shakes with every step
The likes of nothing seen since the days of Imhotep
Our armies assemble, we're on the move
Across a vast desert each has everything to lose
Each side halts, silence holds them still
For their all powerful god, every man there would kill
The sun god would give them, one more chance
If they would not stand down, his warriors would advance (And he said)

Bow down, start to chant
See my power, follow my commands
Get on your knees, to me you'll pray
My destiny awaits this day
Bow down, keep up the chant
You've seen my wrath, these blood red hands
Know your place, you will obey
It's my time now, it's judgement day

I won't bow down, I won't start to chant
You can shout, you can scream, you can fucking rant
We're not your slaves, we're not your sordid legacy
We chose our saviour, can't you see

As the sun sinks slowly, into the blood red, burning sky
The man they call the nu god walks with thousands by his side
They see the sun god carved into the desert storm ahead
With torches, weapons and their faith, they recite what he said

I am the nu god, and I declare
Extracate this soul from society's piety
Always mocking cynically what we take seriously
Agreeing to uphold a set of laws he has devised
With threats of violence, slavery, and total genocide
This insane hate is a cause we must berate
And do justice by demolishing its presence in our state
Stand tall warriors and bask in your pride
As the nu god's soldiers we rise, with the nu god by our side

Second battle begins as the armies advance
Their numbers starting to thin but they continue to chant
No being left untouched, by the spirit of the fight
Killing and preaching on and on into the frost of the night
It was said that he would rise when the time is right
When blood meets sand, where men show might
The nu god saving lives, creating tales that remain
But this entire desert of change started with a single grain
