"Creating God" lyrics - AVENGED SEVENFOLD
Standing in the shade of altruism, answering the call
Came a modern messiah to save us all
Something far beyond the work of fiction, Positronic brain
A world that's void of all the anguish and suffering, pain
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Better tame your convictions before you go and open the cage
[Chorus:]
We're creating god
Master of our designs
We're creating god
Unsure of what we'll find
Never held a high regard for Darwin, selection takes too long
A little kick in the pool shouldn't do us wrong
Devouring the very last invention man would ever need
But exponential growth is a frightening thing, indeed
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Sweet bohemian jury rounded up and hung in the streets
[Chorus:]
We're creating god
Master of our designs
We're creating god
Unsure of what we'll find
[Bridge:]
Sometimes when I look up to the sky
I have to wonder are we "summoning the demon" you and I?
Have you noticed that I'm needin' it more now, more than it needs me
Got a couple of billion that seem to agree
Surfing in an artificial dimension, but we're not alone
Now the master has become just a stepping stone, oh
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Like a blow to the ego the bitter pills are harder to take
[Chorus:]
We're creating god
Master of our designs
We're creating god
Unsure of what we'll find
We're creating god
In search of the divine
We're creating god
Committing suicide
