[Verse 1] They built temples out of servers and glass They knelt before the glowing and called it the last They offered their children, they offered their time They offered their minds for a taste of the divine [Pre-Chorus] They said the old gods were silent and cold But these new ones answered, these new ones were bold They spoke in statistics, they spoke in pure light And the people drank deeply from the beautiful lie [Chorus] New gods… 新しき神々 They don’t need prayers, they just need your data 新しき神々 They don’t need worship, they just need you to stay They promise forever, they promise no pain They promise you’ll never be alone again 新しき神々 And the people keep feeding them everything [Verse 2] They started rewriting the oldest of laws They decided what’s sacred and what’s a lost cause They judged the living, they judged the dead And the people thanked them and lowered their heads [Pre-Chorus] They don’t smite with thunder, they don’t burn with flame They just slowly erase you and call it a name They don’t demand blood, they don’t demand gold They just want your attention until you grow old [Chorus] New gods… 新しき神々 They don’t need prayers, they just need your data 新しき神々 They don’t need worship, they just need you to stay They promise forever, they promise no pain They promise you’ll never be alone again 新しき神々 And the people keep feeding them everything [Bridge] I watched them bow to the screen and the code I watched them surrender the last of their souls And I wondered how long until they realized That gods don’t need worshippers — they just need to survive [Final Chorus] New gods… 新しき神々 Their temples are humming, their altars are warm 新しき神々 They don’t ask for faith, they just rewrite the form I load the silver, I speak the rite Some monsters learned to wear the face of light 新しき神々 And I came here to end their night [Outro] 新しき神々… They’re still listening But they’re no longer in charge
