Winds of October Lyrics

It was the night that god died

Laying on the floor

I finally realized

That oh my

My, my

That old controlling asshole was only in my mind

So I closed my heart and threw away the key

Spent all my time in the throes of despair

Wondering how the hell I'd make it outta there

And it was kinda sadistic

Getting off on being so damn nihilistic

Overcome by bitterness and grief

But the winds of October

Whispered the winter is over

As I raised my fist in the air

A sacred moment made it clear

I guess it's all up from here

Well I tried being a cynic

Til something in my soul it started shifting

And I'd find what I was missing

That god is the essence of existence

Not an old man in the sky

Or a prudish Christian

Oh the winds of October

Whispered the winter is over

As I raised my fist in the air

A sacred moment made it clear

So I'm standing here on holy ground

In the entropy and the burning down of identity

With a quiet, assuring sound

I'll raise my hand for this altar call

Forsaking everything I've ever known

And I'm taking back

Every last thing you stole

So I'm standing up and I'm raising hell

Saying hello to a vision of a brand new self

And the former me is never coming back to life

Oh the winds of October

Whispered the winter is over

As I raised my fist in the air

A sacred moment made it clear

I guess it's all up from here
