i say , i finally found the truth
when i opened up the book God's written
you say, i'm just another fool
who believes a man-made fairytale

i know, the God i serve is true
cause He doesn't lay there six feet under

before you get too far away

Chorus:
lay down, lay down, lay down your gods
open your eyes
then put your life on the line
lay down, lay down, lay down your gods
don't waste your time
you've got to lay down your gods

tell me, oh when your life is through
will the gods you serve be there to save you
i know
that Jesus is reality
not some false religious dream

don't let them steal your soul away

Repeat chorus

lay down, lay down, lay down your gods
follow the one
the way, the truth and the life
lay down, lay down, lay down your gods
don't live a lie
you've got to lay down your gods
