Shout, shout, shout out loud

Fight, fight, shake the ground

You don’t know if you’ll live or die

It’s a Roman game

We’re Gladiators now

Bury down your fears, time to take a stand and fight

WOW-WOAH, tell it to the Gods

WOW-WOAH, let them know you’re here

WOW-WOAH, ready, steady, go!

WOW-WOAH, dance till you die

I was told if I work hard, I’ll get there in the end

Oh, we know that was a lie

Rules were made, you drew the blood

Still, we are made to abide

You say you’re Gods, I know what you are

Oh, you’ve got some guts, low-lives, evil bullies

You pitched it like you’re serving us all

Oh, you like our money, all our things, our achievements

You take ‘em ‘n throw us back on the ring

WOW-WOW-WOAH

WOW-WOAH, tell it to the Gods

WOW-WOAH, let them know you’re here

WOW-WOAH, ready, steady, go!

WOW-WOAH, dance till you die

Sitting, laughing on that throne, telling us we got it wrong

Everybody is guilty but you

Getting fat while we can’t eat

You made it so we’ll never win

You say you’re Gods, I know what you are

Oh, you’ve got some guts, low-lives, evil bullies

You pitched it like you’re serving us all

Oh, you like our money, all our things, our achievements

You take ‘em ‘n throw us back on the ring

WOW-WOW-WOAH

WOW-WOAH, tell it to the Gods

WOW-WOAH, let them know you’re here

WOW-WOAH, ready, steady, go!

WOW-WOAH, dance till you die

Kicking, shouting, fighting back, muzzled by your own kind

Made to look like we’re a disgrace

Standing at the Colosseum

Here’s a show you won’t forget

You say you’re Gods, I know what you are

Oh, you’ve got some guts, low-lives, evil bullies

You pitched it like you’re serving us all

Oh, you like our money, all our things, our achievements

You take ‘em ‘n throw us back on the ring

WOW-WOW-WOAH

WOW-WOAH, tell it to the Gods

WOW-WOAH, let them know you’re here

WOW-WOAH, ready, steady, go!

WOW-WOAH, dance till you die

Tell It to the Gods is a masterpiece from this multiple award-winning, internationally acclaimed solo singer-songwriter, renowned as the pioneer of her signature Volthemic sound — a surge of electrified indie-rock anthems, raw emotion, and post-punk grit that has become synonymous with her fearless, confrontational style.

Fast, electrifying, and visceral, Tell It to the Gods is engineered to feel like a surge of adrenaline — a technical and emotional assault that commands attention from the very first note. Tell It to the Gods is a fiery punk-rock anthem about rebellion and resistance. Using the analogy of gladiators entering the Colosseum to fight for the entertainment of the people, it confronts systems that exploit, deceive, and hold people back, turning frustration into defiance and inspiring the audience to rise, rebel, and fight back.

Set at 158 BPM, the track drives forward with a rapid tempo propelled by thunderous, punchy drums, a commanding bass guitar, edgy and vibrant guitar riffs, and vocals that are gritty, raw, and aggressive, delivered with dynamic shifts that heighten the confrontational tone. The chorus is crafted for maximum impact: anthemic, hook-laden, and rhythmically infectious, designed to linger in the listener’s mind. The production balances high-energy aggression with clarity, ensuring every drum hit, guitar note, and vocal inflection is audible and powerful.
