New Breed/New God/Same Fools

A song I wrote years ago about how religion changes constantly throughout the ages.

New Breed/New God/Same Fools

 

I was alone.

They called my name.

They made me god.

I played their game.

I laughed at them

For they were fools.

They worshipped me,

Followed my rules.

 

They built my throne

And fed the flames.

Those times were hard.

They were insane.

They prayed to me,

Sacrificed their sons.

I drank their blood

In Kingdom Come.

 

Chorus:

New breed. New god. Same old rules.

New breed. New god. Same old fools.

 

Wind of change

Quenched my fire.

They destroyed my ways:

Called me liar.

A new god came

Making new rules.

I laughed at them.

They're still fools.

 

I was alone

And no one came.

In my outcast way,

I felt no shame.

I spied on them

While they played their games.

Sacrificing their sons,

It's still the same.

 

Chorus:

New breed. New god. Same old rules.

New breed. New god. They're still fools!

A new God? What was wrong with the old God? I thought that he was supposed to reign supreme for all of eternity!

What or who is the new God? If I had to guess, it would be the US dollar!

"I drank their blood
In Kingdom Come."

What is wrong with beer? Don't you drink beer?

Great write again!

I like it, a goth vibe. I especially like the chorus.
