God Was Never On Your Side

D#m                     C#
    If the stars fall down on me
G#m                 D#m
    And the sun re-fuse to shine
D#m                           C#
    Then may the shackles be undone
G#m                         D#m
    May all the old words, cease to rhyme
D#m                     C#
    If the skies, turn into stone
G#m                 D#m
    It will matter not at all
D#m                          C#
    For there is no heaven, in the sky
G#m                         D#m
    Hell does not wait for our downfall

   Let the voice of reason shine
G#m                          D#m
   Let the pious vanish for all times
B                               F#
   God's face is, hidden, all unseen
G#m                        D#m
   You can't ask him what it all means
B               F#
   He was never on your side
G#m               D#m
   God was never on your side
B                      F#
   Let right or wrong, alone decide
G#m               D#m
   God was never on your side

D#m                        C#
   See ten thousand minis-tries
G#m                    D#m
   See the holy, righ-teous dogs
D#m                                  C#
   They claim to heal, but all they do is steal
G#m                  D#m
   Abuse your faith, cheat and rob
D#m                 C#
   If God is wise, why is he still
G#m                                 D#m
   When these false prophets, call him friend
D#m                  C#
   Why is he silent,   is he blind!
G#m                     D#m
   Are we abandoned, in the end?

B                           F#
   God's face is hidden, turned way
G#m                D#m
   He never has a word to say
B              F#
   He was never on your side
