Counterfeit God
Zakk Wylde · Other Songs - Zakk Wylde
I've got Jesus running through my veins
In this hopeless life that's turned on you
Give yourself to me, I'll help you through
I feed off your unanswered fear
When visions of life's end appear
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
(CHORUS)
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me
In this world when at it's best
Of never ending hate and death
Abandon all and trust in me
Escaping from reality
My world it has no space or time
The crippled walk and the sick feel fine
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Chorus
Beyond this wall of life unknown
I'll lead you where you need to go
Void of worry, stress and pain
Left with nothing but your name
We've washed your brain and cleansed your soul
Till' nothing's all you need to know
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Chorus
Counterfeit God
Zakk Wylde delivers a visceral hard rock anthem in 'Counterfeit God,' a track that exemplifies his signature blend of technical precision and raw aggression. Recorded during the mid-2000s, the song features Wylde's characteristic dual-guitar interplay and soaring vocals, hallmarks of his work with Black Label Society. The composition leans heavily into the heavy metal and hard rock genres, utilizing distorted riffs and driving rhythms to create an intense, cathartic listening experience. As a standalone recording, it stands as a testament to Wylde's ability to craft powerful, standalone tracks that capture the essence of his musical identity without relying on a specific album context. The song remains a staple of his discography, reflecting the high-energy style that defined his career during this prolific era.
