Pantheon (God of War)

[Intro/Chorus]

We are a god of war

Walking down below

On severed heads

And bloodstained stone

Our world doesn't like us

Oh, we already know

But it's Ares' burden

To strengthen weak souls

[Verse 1]

No, we aren't done yet

We've conquered the earth, but not ourselves yet

We have necessary chaos seeds to plant

Grudges, money, and filthy hands

And we repay ourselves in blood debt

'Cause we're the deity we worship

On the market is our flesh and bone

For half the price, give it half a home

[Prechorus]

We don't live in a society

If we kneel to gore

Shackled by our own adoration

But not the things that we adore

[Chorus]

We are a god of war

Walking down below

On severed heads

And bloodstained stone

Our world doesn't like us

Oh, we already know

But it's Ares' burden

To strengthen weak souls

[Verse 2]

Another dogmatism outbreak

Another martyr's been erased

We barter in our own morality

Is perspective worth our humanity

[Bridge]

They build statues for us

We just leave them to rust

What are we here to protect, to be a god for?

'Cause we're walking on ash and dust

Oh, are we still pretending

Like there's

Anything left on this

Planet that people won't just

Die for (impact)

Note: After the bridge, repeat the chorus but overlay the prechorus with it. Then accelerando & crescendo until tension peaks; after that, everything just abruptly stops, without resolving any chords.
