A world on the verge
We used to fall
Down on our knees
Pray to God
Forsake us not our King
Now we cry out
With cursed fist raised
God is dead!
We're no more his slaves
A world on the verge
The cusp of collapse
Breathing our last
Dying gasp
God did not forsake us
We have forsaken him
Turned our backs
And let our soul light dim
We became our own masters
Now we'll reap what we've sown
I guess we thought
We'd be better on our own
Down on our knees
Pray to God
Forsake us not our King
Now we cry out
With cursed fist raised
God is dead!
We're no more his slaves
A world on the verge
The cusp of collapse
Breathing our last
Dying gasp
God did not forsake us
We have forsaken him
Turned our backs
And let our soul light dim
We became our own masters
Now we'll reap what we've sown
I guess we thought
We'd be better on our own

Personally I agree God hasn't walked away from us, but the reverse. Poem puts that point clearly.

There is a God or a god out there but I realluy don't know which one. I also ask if God is Man or Woman, considering nobody ever saw the Being.............
