Song Lyrics

If the stars fall down on me
And the sun refused to shine
Then may the shackles be undone
May all the old words cease to rhyme
If the sky turned into stone
It will matter not at all
For there is no heaven in the sky
Hell does not wait for our downfall

Let the voice of reason shine
Let the pious vanish for all times
God's face is hidden, all unseen
You can't ask him what it all means
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side

See ten thousand ministries
See the holy, righteous dogs
They claim to heal
But all they do is steal
Abuse your faith, cheat and rob
If God is wise, why is He still
When these false prophets
Call him friend
Why is He silent, is He blind?
Are we abandoned in the end?

Let the sword of reason shine
Let us be free of prayer and shrine
God's face is hidden, turned away
He never has a word to say
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side
No, no, no

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Never, never, never, never
Never on your side
Never on your side
God was never on your side
Never on your side

Ian Fraser Kilmister, Philip Anthony Campbell, Micael Kiriakos Delaoglou
