lyrics

You've heard it said, "great Pan is dead!
Come see the hooves, and flute, and horns torn from his head.
White Western Christendom
has tamed the wilderness, conquered chaos and oblivion."

Well I've got news for you.
I may be down, but I'm not out.
What goes around comes around.
I brought the moon to her knees
and ya know I'm Mother Earth's main squeeze.
You might be ruler, but I'm the rule.
I was paleo before it was cool.
I taught the poets all they know.
I'm the whole package, babe, and it shows.

But these days, nobody keeps the old gods like me
but one-third woke millennials and old hippies.
Oh love, I miss those nights
we'd mark the changing of the seasons feasting in the trees
and orgies all year 'round,
howling at the darkness,
declaring, "we are here."

But only time will tell, my dear,
whether you disappear
or you endure
your own existence here.
What monuments will hold all your tears
when you're out of luck, my dear,
and there's not much else you can do?
I'll still be here, my dear,
waiting for you.

You'll never find another lover quite like me
who freely gives you everything you'll ever need.
These finance capital deities look hot
but they got nothin' on me.
Sometimes a little panic is all you need
to shake off the debris of complacency.
You might know me from '08 or '29,
but my latest work is gonna blow your mind!

Cause these days, nobody keeps the old gods like me
unless they wanna be neutralized efficiently by the police.
Oh love, what will it take
if not the disappearance of the seasons and 45 other reasons
to leave this all behind,
howling at the darkness,
declaring, "we won't fear."

But only time will tell, my dear,
whether you disappear
or you endure
your own existence here.
What monuments will hold all your tears
when you're out of luck, my dear,
and there's not much else you can do?
I'll still be here, my dear,
waiting for you.
Yes, I'll still be here, my dear,
waiting for you.
