BLACKTHORN - ASK GOD
[INTRO – spoken, cold, distant]
Let’s ask God first…
…if He’s even listening.
[VERSE 1]
Silence in the sky, no answer in the flame
Saul on his knees but the void stays the same
“Should we strike now? Will You make them fall?”
But heaven goes dead—no voice at all
Tension in the ranks, something in the air
Guilt like a shadow no one wants to wear
Swear by the name, by the blood, by the throne
“Someone’s to blame… and they’re not going home”
[PRE-CHORUS]
Draw the line, split the soul in two
Innocent faces but somebody knew
Roll the fate like a loaded die
If God won’t speak… then someone dies
[CHORUS]
Let’s ask God first—who do we burn tonight?
Cast the blame in holy light
If He won’t answer, we decide
Blood on faith, justified
Let’s ask God first—who do we crucify?
Truth gets buried, fear gets loud
If heaven’s silent, kill the doubt
Pick a name… and take them out
[VERSE 2]
Jonathan stands with honey on his tongue
A taste of life when the war was won
Just a drop, just a breath, just a moment of grace
Now death’s got his name and it won’t erase
“Tell me the truth,” the king demands
Like justice is clean with blood on his hands
“It was only a taste—just the tip of a stick…”
But mercy don’t move when the system’s sick
[PRE-CHORUS]
Father to son, blade to bone
Swearing oaths that aren’t his own
If God is quiet, who speaks next?
Power writes the final text
[CHORUS]
Let’s ask God first—who do we burn tonight?
Cast the blame in holy light
If He won’t answer, we decide
Blood on faith, justified
Let’s ask God first—who do we crucify?
Truth gets buried, fear gets loud
If heaven’s silent, kill the doubt
Pick a name… and take them out
[BRIDGE – female vocal, controlled, haunting]
You call it holy
I call it fear
You say He chose me
But He’s not here
You build your altar
On broken breath
You dress up silence
And call it death
[BREAKDOWN – aggressive, glitchy]
Flip the coin—watch it land
God or guilt in human hands
Say His name, sharpen steel
Tell me now—what’s more real?
A whisper?
A vow?
A king?
A crowd?
[FINAL CHORUS – bigger, layered]
Let’s ask God first—who do we burn tonight?
Voices screaming in the quiet
If He won’t answer, we’ll ignite
Righteous rage in sacred light
Let’s ask God first—who do we crucify?
Heroes fall and tyrants pray
Truth gets twisted either way
Say His name… and walk away
[OUTRO – whispered]
Let’s ask God first…
…or just pretend He answered.
