WHEN GODS TURN AWAY

[Intro] [Verse 1] The bells still ring but no one listens The words are said, but stripped of weight We carved our laws in crumbling marble Then blamed the gods when it was late We raised our towers to the heavens Demanded answers from the sky But every prayer we ever whispered Came back hollow, passed us by [Pre-Chorus] Not with fire Not with thunder Did the silence finally fall But with absence Cold and final Like no one heard us call [Chorus] When gods turn away There’s no one left to blame No voice above the chaos No hand to break the chain When gods turn away We stand with what we’ve done No judgment from the heavens The verdict comes from us [Verse 2] The temples stand but feel abandoned Altars cracked by time and doubt We traded faith for hollow comfort Then screamed when the light went out We crowned ourselves the final answer Wrote our names in burning stone But power learned no mercy And truth was left alone [Pre-Chorus 2] We asked for signs We begged for meaning While sharpening the knife And wondered why the sky stayed empty When we took another life [Chorus] When gods turn away There’s no one left to blame No voice above the chaos No hand to break the chain When gods turn away We stand with what we’ve done No judgment from the heavens The verdict comes from us [Bridge] If there ever was forgiveness It was never meant to fall from above It was meant to be discovered In the ruins of our love No angel waits behind the curtain No demon pulls the strings Just men afraid of consequences And the weight of broken things [Solo] [Final Chorus] When gods turn away The mirror starts to speak We see the face of judgment In the answers that we seek When gods turn away No prophecy will save What’s left of our redemption Is the courage to be brave [Outro] The bells still ring… But now we know why… © 2026 - skvadMC
