This God is Dead - Seven Spires, Roy Khan

Blindly

Across the sea

Your love

Lit my way through storm and shade

For a thousand years

Today, and every day

Let me be your light

Let me be your light

Always

Another battle, another day

To face the light and pull away from the embrace

Of the shadows where I survive

The agony reminds me I’m alive

Oh mother, I wonder if you knew

Oh father, if only I could speak with you

Did you love my smoke and mirrors?

That should be enough, that would be enough

(Roy Khan:)

I know you found it, that dream you chasd

Don’t ever think that what you love is a mistak

Despite the demons that rule you mind

Stay the course, everything will be alright

Your mother, she watches over you

My daughter, just know that we are proud of you

From the beyond, you’ll never hear us

But you have our love, you have our love

(Adrienne:)

Can’t afford to die, and can’t afford to lose

(Roy and Adrienne:)

Sweet angel, wish I had been enough for you

All I am is smoke and mirrors

(Adrienne:)

Would you love me if you knew?

Could you love me if you knew?

Pt.

2: Mania and Nothing

What happened to me?

I never saw these bones

I wear this skin like someone else’s clothes

These scraps of childhood scenes are roughly sewn

There’s no tomorrow

Just a day that started lifetimes ago

Back and forth

Mania and nothing

Nothing at all

What happened to me?

Who am I?

Everything I’ve been feels like it’s a lie

Food makes me sick and drink makes me fade

Are these my memories?

Am I even awake?

Back and forth

Mania and nothing

Nothing at all

Pt.

3: The Majesty

(Earth, give me strength

Skies, lend your range

Moon, lend your light

Stars, guide my way)

Bow before the majesty

This loathsome demon reborn

Life with new purpose

See the earth through young eyes

Feel the universe through an ancient soul

Pt.

4: Beneath the Morning Star

I have known all and nothing

I have stared into the void until it haunted my dreams

Screamed and smiled beneath the morning star

And conducted the chorus of grim constellations

Their lights lied, I died a thousand times

Floating frozen past their majesties

I wandered too far into the black

Non est otium

Tibi putesce mari aeterno

Abhorremus te

Endless nights awake in vain

My imploding brain

Torturing my psyche, there was no escaping myself

My hatred, my failures, my losses, my loathing

There was no hollow peace

This has been my final death, finally accept

All that I am, and all that I’m meant to be

Perhaps eternally

Non est otium

Tibi putesce mari aeterno

Abhorremus te

Pt.

1 Smoke and Mirrors (Reprise):

(Roy and Adrienne):

Blindly, across the sea

(Adrienne:)

Your love…

(Roy:)

Lit your way through storm and shade

For a thousand years

(Adrienne:)

Today, and every day

(Roy and Adrienne:)

I will be your light

Let me be your light

Always

Pt.

5: This God is Dead

Guide of the lost

Guardian of the broken

Bringer of peace in final hours

Happiness is a choice

And purpose, a charted course

I am but a soul-keeper

And this god is dead
