Against the Gods Lyrics

Long walk of waste
Sad song of days
Long foresaw the evil eyes

Of our gods
Hot meant for me
Be they truth or lies

Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage

Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods

To my grave
I'll find my way
Cross the lonely lands below

Void of shame
All foundless faith
I will glad forgo

Ways unfold one morning golden on the road
Trees have grown around my throne, my green abode
How my reason rage

Against the gods
Make is sing or make it sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods

Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage

Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods

Long walk of waste
Sad song of days
Long foresaw the evil eyes

Of our gods
Hot meant for me
Be they truth or lies

Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage

Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods

To my grave
I'll find my way
Cross the lonely lands below

Void of shame
All foundless faith
I will glad forgo

Ways unfold one morning golden on the road
Trees have grown around my throne, my green abode
How my reason rage

Against the gods
Make is sing or make it sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods

Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage

Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe the songs in reference to the Norse Gods (mythological characters of pre-Christian Scandinavia). I think it's about the people of the present day who long to live up to the reverence & legendary status of these Gods.
