Only One God (Extended 1)

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 built your house on shifting sand

Hoping fortune holds the line

Every prayer's a sleight of hand

Running from the warning sign

Cold comfort in the shadows

Chasing smoke with blinded eyes

Truth slipping through the gallows

Still you worship your disguise

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

Outro

And when the fire calls your name

You can't buy back what you gave

Idols crumble in the flame

Empty hands, nothing saved

Outro Reprise

Ashes falling, truth revealed

Bitter wind across the plain

No empty promise left to steal

Just silence in your reign

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, nothing remains

Oh, oh, all slips away

Tag

Like idols of the dead, nothing more to say

Just a shadow in the rain
