Twilight of the Gods

Track 1: Twilight of the Gods
The gods of Greece were weak
They were petty, cruel, and mean
In the lines that Homer wrote
This can all be clearly seen
Even gods from out the north
Were fated all to die
Once Balder had been slain
By Hoder with no eye
Yet the twilight of the gods
Was not Ragnarok
It came when Jesus Christ
Pushed aside that rock
And strode forth from the grave
To prove that He could save
And every false delusion
Would wither in His light
As the gods of our illusions
Faded back into the night
The Roman gods were false
And with the senate’s say
Any man could be a god
To whom you’d have to pray
And the twilight of the gods
Was not Ragnarok
It came when Jesus Christ
Pushed aside that rock
And strode forth from the grave
To prove that He could save
And every false delusion
Would wither in His light
As the gods of our illusions
Faded back into the night
The gods that we now serve
Known as Money, Time, and Fame
Are crying from the darkness
And calling you by name
Will you worship what is weak
What is false and doomed to die?
Or will you now serve Him
Who ascended to the sky?
For the twilight of the gods
Was not Ragnarok
It came when Jesus Christ
Pushed aside that rock
And strode forth from the grave
To prove that He could save
And every false delusion
Would wither in His light
As the gods of our illusions
Faded back into the night
As the gods of our illusions
Faded back into the night
Track 2: Blood in the Garden
He knew that it was coming
Long before first light
And felt the darkness gather round
As His friends slept in the night
My God, won’t You take this cup
Let this pain pass away from me
Faith says it will all work out
But it’s something I just can’t see
The sweat poured down his face
And fell like drops of blood
For pain that came from below
Was ordained by One above
Then the soldiers came with swords
And fire to light the gloom
They circled like a pack of wolves
Prepared to seal his doom
His friend drew his own bright steel
That flashed with a lurid gleam
He slashed at the soldier’s head
And watched the red blood stream
My God, won’t You take this cup
Let this pain pass away from me
Faith says it will all work out
But it’s something I just can’t see
Then there in the cutting dark
His soul at last felt peace
He healed the soldier and told his friend
That sharp blade to release
My God, you won’t take this cup
Or let pain pass away from me
Faith says it will all work out
For You are yet with me
My God, you won’t take this cup
Or let pain pass away from me
Faith says it will all work out
And You will never leave
And You will never leave
