Name: The Gods of Broken Men
Duration: P00H03M13S
Description: This song was written, watching migrants streaming from various middle Eastern and African countries towards Europe. Fleeing desolated countries with wars, famine and destitution. The song sees the situation from the point of view of a migrant, wondering why his god has forsaken him and his people and put them in such a desperate situation. Questioning his faith and his anger towards his gods.

lyrics

I didn’t want to know, about the trouble we’re in
I didn’t want to know, when the panic set in
The light inside my heart, was keeping me strong
I didn’t want to read from the book of sin
I didn’t want to invite, the chaos and anger

Praying to the gods, of broken men

They promised Heaven was for the humble soul
But now there’s nothing left, to fill this wretched hole
I stand alone
My heart wouldn’t believe what my eyes could see
But the closer I looked, I found a rage in me

Praying to the gods, of broken men

My heart was humble then, my eyes were opened wide
I’d been praying to, the gods of broken men

They can’t save me now, they couldn’t save me then
There is no reasoning with, the gods of broken men

I didn’t want to know, about the trouble we’re in
I didn’t want to know, when the panic set in

Praying to the gods, of broken men

My heart wouldn’t believe what my eyes could see
But the closer I looked, I found a rage in me

Praying to the gods, of broken men
