A million gods
(Østby/Khan)
don't hesitate to hope,
they said
come close,
don't be afraid
love don't seem
to find it's way
to where you stay
you have to feel the light,
they said
it's easy to forget
love is really far away
for a dying of today
mother mary
comfort in a cross of silver
hard to pick a saviour
from a million gods
'cause when you settle
for a new dimension
you'll never find
the one your dying for
last temptation;
touch me
before you close your eyes
die a martyr to your principles
'cause you're the only god
who's visible tonight
once you have crossed
the course you seek
when your resistance' weak
when your goal is left behind
you soon recline
eyes of the source
you're searching for
can't see you anymore
and salvation's far away
for a dying led astray
make another mountain
move before it's over
try to pick a saviour
if you know his name
but mary's crying
on the edge of heaven
deliberation's bad for faith
she claims
last temptation;
touch me
before you close your eyes
die a martyr to your principles
'cause you're the only god
who's visible tonight
they all seem to be the same
so hard to decide
when a million gods retain
all there is to find
there's another universe
behind each blinding flare
suddenly they'll all emerge
but none of them would care
