God Is Dead
SWANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I dreamt that God was dead
He was lying next to me in my bed
Las night I dreamt that God was dead
I really thought that God was dead

Last night I dreamt that God was dead
He was lying next to me in my bed
Last night I dreamt that God was dead
I swear I could hear him prayin’

And he said : “save me, save me”, he said
“Save me, save me from myself”

He was gonna show you the way…. X4

Last night I dreamt that God was dead
He was lying next to me in my bed
Last night I dreamt that God was dead
I swear I could feel his pain

And he said : “save me, save me”, he begged
“Save me, save me from myself” (x2)

He was gonna show you the way…. X6

Last night I dreamt that God was dead
He was lying next to me in my bed
Las night I dreamt that God was dead
I really thought that God was dead





And he said : “save me, save me”, he begged
“Save me, save me from myself” (x2)
