I tried to keep my ear down to the ground
I tried to focus on more than one sound
I forced the hand of those that played
I won't bluff out of this game
How can I see what is coming for me?
I'll win this bet if it kills me or kills you
They're not my players or my kind
All too human in their style
And if they think it's God's work,
Then let them think it's God's work
And let them do God's work
If they're so willing
I'm taken aback by what I can see
Humanity has a gift for cruelty
How could I compete?
When they can dream up worse than you or I ever could?
They're not my player or my kin
Such hate could only come from within
And if they think it's God's work,
Then let them think it's God's work
And let them do God's work
If they're so willing
Godwilling
