If The Gods Were Watching

[Verse 1] Sailed away to find a new world maps like prayers spread on the floor Salt on our lips names on our throats left what we loved to chase a ghost [Chorus] If the gods were watching from some colder sky would they call us brave men or fools who learned to lie Honorable and powerful or hungry, small, and scared If the gods were watching did they ever even care [Verse 2] Ships with sails heavy as vows creaking like faith that we barely allow We drink to the dawn pretend we're pure but under the crest we're never sure [Chorus] If the gods were watching from some colder sky would they call us brave men or fools who learned to lie Honorable and powerful or hungry, small, and scared If the gods were watching did they ever even care [Bridge] We draw our lines on oceans that erase Every flag we raise sinks in the same dark place Tell me, tell me when the stories fade who remembers what we paid (oh) [Chorus] If the gods were watching from some colder sky would they call us brave men or fools who learned to lie Honorable and powerful or hungry, small, and scared If the gods were watching did they ever even care
