Fool for the Gods

Answer my questions, give me your reasons

you talk from the heavens, you only deceived us

why was I chosen, there must have been others

I gave all I had, the fruits of my seasons

you gave me a kingdom, I built you a temple

you were exalted, and yet you were feeble

I knelt at your altar, I knelt there before you

I begged you to help us, now I defy you

This kingdom's deserted the blood of my brothers flows into the river

I asked, I begged you, beseached you, I pleaded to help us

The people believed you, all faith that was in you was worthless

this solitary world was my pain, my anguish, my sadness

where were you, are we fools, are you true?

your statues neglected, no longer respected as sacred

your prophets defy you, the people deny you you're hated

you lie in your heavens forgotten and yet you're bewildered

no longer betrothen through questions that you never answered

where were you, are we fools, are you true?

I looked to the mountains, the mists of your heavens surrounded

you called me , I followed, your presence around me was shrouded

your chariots stood proudly, the gates of your heavens were open

I have been used, but I never asked to be chosen
