All the Gods of Peace
Searching for Tranquility: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'All the Gods of Peace'
Lyrics
I've seen battles fought and I've seen death
I've witnessed battles and experienced death.
I've seen companions fighting for one final breath
I've observed comrades struggling for their final breath.
I've seen betrayal and known its bitter taste
I've encountered betrayal and tasted its bitterness.
I've seen dragons soar and cities laid to waste
I've seen dragons flying and witnessed cities destroyed.
And I've burned every bridge
I've intentionally severed connections with others.
If I've always been a soldier do I serve the gods of war?
If my identity has always been that of a soldier, am I dedicated to the gods of war?
And when do we start to wonder what we're even fighting for?
When do we begin questioning the purpose of our battles?
So warrior, before you go, tell me this at least
Addressing a warrior, inquire before departing, reveal at least this much.
Where are all the gods of peace?
Where are the deities of peace?
I've seen lost causes and I've held command
I've witnessed hopeless causes and commanded others.
I've seen survivors falter after the last stand
I've seen survivors weaken after the final stand.
I've seen defeat and lost more than I can tell
Experienced defeat and suffered losses beyond enumeration.
I've seen the hooded god walk these streets as well
I've seen a mysterious, hooded god traversing these streets.
And I've burned every bridge
I've intentionally cut off ties with others.
If I've always been a soldier do I serve the gods of war?
If my essence is that of a soldier, do I serve the deities of war?
And when do we start to wonder what we're even fighting for?
When do we initiate contemplation about the purpose behind our conflicts?
So warrior, before you go, tell me this at least
Addressing a warrior, ask before departing, disclose at least this much.
Where are all the gods of peace?
Where can one find the deities of peace?
And I've burned every bridge
I've deliberately severed connections with others.
If I've always been a soldier do I serve the gods of war?
If my identity has always been that of a soldier, am I devoted to the gods of war?
And when do we start to wonder what we're even fighting for?
When do we begin questioning the purpose of our battles?
So warrior, before you go, tell me this at least
Addressing a warrior, inquire before departing, reveal at least this much.
Where are all the gods of peace?
Where are the deities of peace?
