Only One God (Extended 1)

Intro

Night burns low beyond the gate

Figures lost in borrowed fate

Ashes gather at your feet

Turning pride into defeat

Verse 0

You stacked your coins on broken ground

Built your hope on shaken stone

Never heard the thunder sound

Always tried to stand alone

Pre-Intro

Shadows reach but never last

You walk a line forever past

Verse 1

You stare down at your empty cup

Waitin' for the pouring sky

Hung your will on a brittle crutch

Selling hope just to get by

You chase smoke across the field

Trade your heart for borrowed time

Sit quiet as the walls are sealed

Never reckon with the grime

Pre-Chorus

Took the easy path, lost the fight

Watching gold go fading to white

Chorus

Like idols of the dead, you don't use your head

Laid your souls all to waste

Bow down for a handout, you want an easy bed

There’s only one God, and you ain’t his face

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, just let it fade

Oh, oh, just what you made

Verse 2

You trade your name for slumber

Hiding behind your lies

You stare at empty thunder

Never ask why you survive

Pre-Chorus

When the weight comes down, you’re caving in

Praying for rain, you’ll never begin

Chorus

Like idols of the dead, you don't use your head

Laid your souls all to waste

Bow down for a handout, you want an easy bed

There’s only one God, and you ain’t his face

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, just let it fade

Oh, oh, just what you made

Bridge

You count the hours sinking slow

Cold as the clay beneath your hand

Promises tossed in the undertow

No shelter built on shifting sand

Verse 3

You stare at faces painted wrong

Each one lost inside your frame

Trading truth for a bitter song

Still waiting for someone to blame

Pre-Chorus

Drifting farther, missing the mark

Carried by ghosts, stumbling in the dark

Chorus

Like idols of the dead, you don't use your head

Laid your souls all to waste

Bow down for a handout, you want an easy bed

There’s only one God, and you ain’t his face

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, just let it fade

Oh, oh, just what you made
