Broken Gods

Broken Gods

Mar 01, 2020

Do not trust the Broken Gods

For their hands are stained with sin

Do not think they're here to help

You or any of your kin


Do not trust the Broken Gods

Curse the day that they would come

Striding strong and powerful,

Ancient faces oh so young


Do not trust the Broken Gods

Who have often left when we

Needed them to stay and save

That we loved so desperately


Do not trust the Broken Gods

Vile and empty are their eyes

All their oaths from times ago

Long since turned to bitter lies


Do not trust the Broken Gods

For they hide their hollow hearts

All they may have once presented

Fractured into thousand shards


Do not trust the Broken Gods

Do not hate them all the same

As for all their harsh demeanour

We're the ones who are to blame


When it happened and we failed them

Once a long long time ago

I would never have expected

Us to stoop so very low


When it happened, when we broke them

We regretted instantly

For their wrath would be upon us

And it hasn't stopped, you see


We can't trust the Broken Gods

Please don't try to dwell on this

Do not grieve and do not ponder

Leave it be the way it is

Another one for "Hellengard" :) There's something fishy going on with these people and their gods. ;)

This is even older than "Hellengard" (the last poem). Also from 2014 I think.
