[Expansive Intro] . . . ! . . . . . . ! . [Verse 1] They taught us there were many gods Above the God we knew Innumerable thrones in heaven And our God was subject too [Verse 2] As far above us as He is There are gods above Him still And if He varies from the law He'll be cast down, they said He will [Pre-Chorus] Cast down as Lucifer was cast From heights we cannot see What kind of God can fall from grace? What kind of God can cease to be? [Chorus] Many gods, they said Many gods above Many thrones in heaven And ours is not enough They spoke of God In ways I cannot bear Impious and irreverent As if He was not there [Break] . . ! . . . [Verse 3] They said that we could rise To godhood of our own That men could be exalted To sit on heaven's throne [Verse 4] But if our God can fall What hope is there for man? If even He is subject To some greater, darker plan? [Chorus] Many gods, they said Many gods above Many thrones in heaven And ours is not enough They spoke of God In ways I cannot bear Impious and irreverent As if He was not there [Bridge - rejection] This is not the faith I crossed the ocean for This is not the Christ who died to save These are doctrines damnable And I will not be slave To a heaven with no foundation To a God who is not God I will not partake in damnation I will not bow to fraud [Final Chorus - declarative] Many gods? I answer: One Many thrones? There's only One You can build your towers to heaven You can crown yourselves as kings But I will not follow prophets Who make God a passing thing [Outro - firm] One God... One God... [End]
