The Staggering Gods - Daniel Amos

The gods are staggering across the earth in their chains

The gods are dying, clutching at lost fortune and fame

The feel-good god and the lord of science

Democracy’s blind and bewildered giants

The hammer and the sickle and the modern appliance

All the staggering gods

The staggering gods

The gods are stumbling, hopeless and sick unto death

The gods we worship are gasping for their final breath

The feel-good god and the lord of science

Democracy’s blind and bewildered giants

The hammer and the sickle and the modern appliance

All the staggering gods

The staggering gods

We hear the terrible noise that gives them away

The thud of worn out shoes and cracking feet of clay

We’ve heard the stammering words of these dying kings

And we shudder at the sound

(The dying gods)

Of these fearsome things

The gods are fumbling they’re weak and they’re ready to fall

(Here come the dying gods)

The gods are human, not one of them can help us at all

(Here come the dying gods)

The feel-good god and the lord of science

Democracy’s blind and bewildered giants

The hammer and the sickle and the modern appliance

All the staggering gods

All the staggering gods

All the staggering gods

Here come, here come all the staggering gods

All the staggering gods

(Here come all the staggering gods)

All the staggering gods

(Here come all the staggering gods)

All the staggering gods

(Here come all the staggering gods)

All the staggering gods
