[Verse 1: glaive & Piper Livingston]
You could say what you like, I've heard it all before (Ohoo-ohoo-ohoo)
Why don't you take what's mine? 'Cause everything I have is yours (Ohoo-ohoo-ohoo)
And why don't we break bread and break out the wine? Of course
'Cause the pain I had has finally run its course
God is dead and everyone's leaving
I just can't believe I didn't see it
This little plight of mine, will you ease it?
This little plight of mine, will you—

[Chorus: glaive]
And God is dead and everyone's leaving
I just can't believe I didn't see it
This little plight of mine, would you ease it?
This little plight of mine, would you ease it?
[Post-Chorus: glaive]

Oh, would you ease it?
Oh, would you ease it?
[Verse 2: glaive]

[Chorus: glaive]

This little plight of mine, would you ease it?

[Chorus: glaive]
God is dead and everyone's leaving
I just can't believe I didn't see it
This little plight of mine, would you ease it?
This little plight of mine, would you ease it?
