“I crown myself eternal; I bow to no higher hand. All kingdoms fall beneath my gaze, for I am the altar, the prayer, and the god.” You prayed with your hands on me. Desperation And haunted dreams You begged for life I brought you down I have become Your everything, now Hold your breath. I’ll take your sins With me There is no grace in the sin you honor There is no wine Made from water I take what’s owed not what’s offered I am the new god. And I do not forgive. (I am the new god!) (I am the new god!) You hold my prayer behind your teeth you bite down to feel it bleed. Sweetness drowned in your own need. You’ll happily accept What I bequeath. Hold your breath. I’ll take your sins Personally There is no grace in the sin you honor There is no wine Made from water I take what’s owed not what’s offered. I am the new god. And I do not forgive. (I am the new god!) (I am the new god!) There’s no heaven left Only devotion Only ruin Only pain Only confusion Only now You won’t be free There’s nothing left Only me. (I am the new god!) (I am the new god!) There is no grace in the sin you honor There is no wine Made from water I take what’s owed not what’s offered. I am the new god. And I do not forgive. (I am the new god!) (I am the new god!)
