Gods Amongst Men Lyrics

[Intro]
They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don't understand
We are evolution
They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don't understand
We are evolution
We are gods

[Verse 1]
We were more than friends
That all changed with a spark of insanity
But I dream of a perfect harmony
Gods walking one with humanity
But I ask not for friendship or love
All I demand is fear and blind obedience
Cease your revelry and heed me
Let me in
Let me in

[Chorus]
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it means
[Post-Chorus]
They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don’t understand
We are evolution
We are gods

[Verse 2]
Oppression is no excuse for vengeance
Forgive and forget to live in harmony
Inconceivable, your dream is dead
Because they drew first blood
Just like I knew they would

[Guitar Solo]

Please let me in

[Chorus]
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it means
[Bridge]
I ask not for friendship or love
All I demand is fear and blind obedience
Cease your revelry and heed me
Cease your revelry and heed me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it means

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
