Crimson Crescent - No Shade No Gods

VERSE:
The sky is bare, no veil of cloud,
The sun stares down, unblinking, proud.
No shadow left where lies can hide,
The earth is split, the altar dried.

We marched on faith through burning days,
Watched idols crack beneath the haze.
Their promises were dust and bone,
Now heat has stripped us to the core.

CHORUS:
No shade, no gods— no hands above!
No prayers answered, no saving love!
We stand exposed beneath the flame,
No crown to kneel, no one to blame!

VERSE:
Stone lips preached of mercy’s reign,
But mercy never crossed this plain.
Gold tongues sang of sacred war,
Then melted down and spoke no more.

The sun bears witness, cold and cruel,
It crowns no king, it bends no rule.
If power lives, it lives in scars,
In teeth clenched hard against the stars.

CHORUS:
No shade, no gods— the truth burns through!
No divine hand, no chosen few!
The sky is empty, the ground is ours,
We rise unblessed, but still empowered!

BRIDGE:
Strip the names from carved stone lies,
Let heaven fall from empty skies.
If fate remains, we forge it here,
In open light, in blinding fear.

OUTRO:
No shade, no gods— we stand alone!
Flesh and will, and shattered thrones!
No hymns remain, no sins to trod,
Only bones beneath the sun,
Only scars where faith had run—
