sipe, olson - gods of illusion lyrics
verse 1:
gods of illusion with your sandstone skin
disintegrated a culture thinking you were destined to win
did you know your tricks were translucent to anyone but them?
did you know you ripped seams you didn’t even hem?
verse 2:
did you bat an eye at the bloodshed?
as you bleached the congo to wash the blood stains away
did you cover your ears to shield them from the screams
from the cries of the people who thought you were gods?
did you realize you were devils when your wildfire spread?
verse 3:
rivers polluted with greed and vain
undrinkable and untouchable and never will be the same
with smoke in their lungs, how can they chant?
how can they beg for the land you stole when you came into command?
verse 4:
you stole their voice, their culture and pride
just because they didn’t share your sandstone skin
did you know you stunted the growth of the congo with your smog?
did you know your smoke and mirrors burned a hole in a culture?
didn’t you know that playing god puts your playmates in h-ll?
