Pantheon (God of War)
[Intro/Chorus]
We are a god of war
Walking down below
On severed heads
And bloodstained stone
Our world doesn't like us
Oh, we already know
But it's Ares' burden
To strengthen weak souls
[Verse 1]
No, we aren't done yet
We've conquered the earth, but not ourselves yet
We have necessary chaos seeds to plant
Grudges, money, and filthy hands
And we repay ourselves in blood debt
'Cause we're the deity we worship
On the market is our flesh and bone
For half the price, give it half a home
[Prechorus]
We don't live in a society
If we kneel to gore
Shackled by our own adoration
But not the things that we adore
[Chorus]
We are a god of war
Walking down below
On severed heads
And bloodstained stone
Our world doesn't like us
Oh, we already know
But it's Ares' burden
To strengthen weak souls
[Verse 2]
Another dogmatism outbreak
Another martyr's been erased
We barter in our own morality
Is perspective worth our humanity
[Bridge]
They build statues for us
We just leave them to rust
What are we here to protect, to be a god for?
'Cause we're walking on ash and dust
Oh, are we still pretending
Like there's
Anything left on this
Planet that people won't just
Die for (impact)
Note: After the bridge, repeat the chorus but overlay the prechorus with it. Then accelerando & crescendo until tension peaks; after that, everything just abruptly stops, without resolving any chords.
