Gods
Verse 1[edit]
As a child I would sit, I would listen
As your voices crowded my mind
O gods, I would run in the forest
But ever your faces would I find
In the stillness, in the quiet, I can touch you
O gods, you are ever with me
In the sky, in the fire, I see you
Your eyes stare out from the sea
Verse 2[edit]
If I go down to the depths, into Hades
Even there you walk by my side
And I try to escape from you, gods
Your presence can I never abide
If I lie with my love in the darkness
If I take her into my bed
O gods, as I reach out to embrace her
It is you that I see in her stead
Verse 3[edit]
You are monstrous, O gods, and I fear you
Like a spider crawling under my skin
For I know no offering, no oblation
Could cover up the multitude of my sin
And my nakedness is ever before you
As I shiver, and I cower in the night
You see all my inmost desires
They are loathsome, they are foul in your sight
Verse 4[edit]
So I hide, for I cannot abide it
That you should see all of my shame
But your Spirit shall never forsake me
And I hear as you call out my name
