Generic Satanic Metal Band - is he still there or is god dead?

Drowning in shadows
Far from the flame
Hope of my fathers, my kin, my Creator, Redeemer
Can You still hear my name?
Hands stained with sorrow
Dark thoughts ignite
Out of the silence, I claw from the grave into a world depraved
Now I wear pain like it's right

Red in the water, the sky runs black
I drink the wine, don't want it back
The echoes scream inside my head
Is He still there, or has He fled?

Is He still there?
Or is God dead?

Wickedness flowing
Through a land gone dry
Drenched in despair, they lie, cheat, and swear, there’s nothing left to try
The damned are left to cry
Dust into darkness
No soul to reclaim
Who can we trust when greed and disgust rot what once was just?
This world has gone insane

Will someone wake me from this hell?
Or is this silence all that's left?
Does anyone have truth to sell?
Or is belief already dead?

Is He still there?
Or is God dead?
Is He still there?
Or is God dead?

I shield what little I believe
Until my final breath
Trade this broken world I see
For quiet, frozen death
I try to love my enemies
I bide my time and wait
With angels gone and devils near
Still clinging to my fate

Rain runs crimson in the storm
More wine, less bread to keep me warm
These riddles buried in my brain
Whisper He’s not gone in vain

Is He still there?
Or is God dead?
Is He still there?
Or is God dead?

No place to run
Nowhere to hide
Will I see You again, when I cross that line to the other side?
Do You still speak
Through the words we read?
Or was it all a holy myth, and love just bleeds?

Still the voices in my mind
Say faith is lost and truth is blind
The sky is red, the ground is wet
But I won't say that He's gone yet

Is He still there?
Or is God dead?
Is He still there?
Or is God dead?
Is He still there?
I think God is dead!
