Sol Invictus

The Gods Looked Down

Sol Invictus


And the gods looked down, and they sighed 
And the gods looked down, and wondered why 

That like the flowers we bloom and die 
That however strong our arms, we let our hands be tied 
That we build great walls, but for our sins 
We open up the gates and let the assassins in 

And the gods looked down, and they sighed 
And the gods looked down, and they cried 

For the ruins that once stood tall 
For we slaves who once ruled all 
For a goddess who now lies still 
For a civilization that's now an anthill 

And the gods looked down, and they sighed 
And the gods looked down, and they died
