Nothing More - God Went North Lyrics






A hospital bed
A room filled with flowers
Every monitor beep keeps the time
As I count down the hours
The petals they weep
They're uprooted like me
Cut from the cord of their mother
Who created everything

If You won't save her
Please just take her away

She pulls me close
Says that she loves me
That she wishes to still be around
On the day that I marry
Tightly she holds
But the plan still unfolds
Cutting the cord from the mother
Who gave me everything

If You won't save her
Please just take her
Nothing breaks her away
From the promise of a better day

This is your moment of glory
Hallelujah

It may feel like God went north
And left you to be
But all you need to know
Is you have everything you need
It's just a blink of an eye
Until the next time we meet
I'll hold you 'til the end
I'll hold you 'til you're free

If You won't save her
Please just take her
Nothing breaks her away
Because she'll keep holding on

I'll hold you 'til the end

Nothing More God Went North Comments
  1. g.... ....

    That scream

  2. S.... ....

    My mom is still alive and well, but goddam, this song makes me cry thinking about when that day will inevitably come. Very rarely do you find a band that can channel such raw emotion into their music, and Nothing More knocks that out of the park.

  3. F.... ....

    How do you sing this and keep your voice from breaking.
    Get angry i guess.

    F.... ....

    It's why he never performs this song live. Some of the notes he cannot hit again simply because it was the pain of the moment that got him there.

  4. S.... M....

    Really listening to the lyrics, this song is very real for me. Three years ago, when my mom was brain dead in a coma, I just kept praying for God to end her suffering, in whatever way He felt best. I have zero real medical knowledge, bit even I knew she wasn't ever going to be herself again if she did wake up. As a family, we had to make the decision to take her off life support, and she was dead within the hour. I was 17, and we weren't very close (lot of bad parenting decisions in my early childhood), but that is still the worst thing I've ever been through, was whispering in her ear that I would be ok of she had to go. Anyway, this is a very powerful and emotional song. ♥️

  5. t.... h....

    Song hits home for me. Said these exact words when my grandma was on life support

  6. J.... A....

    why does this song sound like that christian song “how he loves”

    J.... A....

    Smoke meth, hail Satan

    J.... A....

    @Satan bruh

  7. J.... L....

    This song is my life. Losing my mother to cancer destroyed my life. I will never heal from this loss.
    I will only
    Hope I can learn how to someday peacefull walk side by side with it

  8. N.... M....

    I lost my grandma tonight at 8:15 I just got the call she died in her sleep she was suffering from cancer the worst part is today is my birthday this song just makes the pain worse but also somehow feels somewhat comforting

  9. P.... B....

    Do you know of me? Patricia Marie Babin What is this song about? I have wonderful news I offer only to give relief and what I can teach to enlighten, I hope you know who I am.

    P.... B....

    It's about his mom who died from cancer

  10. M.... B....

    😥😪

  11. S.... ....

    Jonny's vocals towards the end make me fucking cry everytime dude I stg, poor guy 😭

  12. J.... G....

    3:32 .... you're welcome
    although the whole song is so good

  13. H.... L....

    Yes! I love it
    I will see you again. I will hold on until I hold you again mama😇💜

  14. U.... ....

    I love and miss you mom. This song hits home all too well

  15. A.... J....

    I lost my mother a little over a year ago unexpectedly from a massive stroke. She was my best friend and it was always just us two, we were thick as thieves. She watched me take my first breathe while I watched her take her last and I will forever hold her in my heart til my dying breathe. I made the final decision to take her off the vent when I knew there was nothing left and I prayed to God to please make it quick! He gave me 8 hours to hold her hand and pray for my sanity before He called her home. Til we meet again my beautiful angel. I love you mama!

  16. L.... B....

    Sometimes it is best to let the suffering go; the damage is done and there is no healing...

  17. r.... 7....

    This song makes me confused emotionally, I don't have any family to call my own. Which at first I was glad I wouldn't ever feel this way, but afterwards I realized I'm alone and no one would cry if I died and there's no one I could cry for... What do I do?

  18. S.... F....

    My Mother passed on my Birthday while I was in Prison. 2014, I didn't want to come home. I haven't been the same since. I heard this song after Jenny. I play it for the Memories that are fading. Swallowed by Pain. I miss you Mother and Father.

  19. P.... D....

    Today marks 10 years since my mother's passing. I miss her so much, I only hope to someday see her again at least once... Just once

  20. M.... M....

    This song reminds me of my grandmother. She was old and couldn't move anymore. One day I wanted to go to her with my ex because she never met one of my boyfriends and when I woke up and called my ex, my mom told me that she is at the hospital. We rushed there and she was in bed. She couldn't talk. She wasn't concious. She was with her eyes closed. She suffered a vascular brain accident. When I saw her I just couldn't cope and I ran to the balcony at the hospital and I began crying. That day she opened her eyes and I sat next to her. She was in the hospital 2 days and both of the times I sat there with her. The next day after I went home, in that night she died and my mom couldn't tell me the news. After she came home from work she left a card on the table that said "offering service for the dead" and I knew that she died. I began crying. I cried that day, that night, at her funeral and with time the saddness faded. There are some days that I just cry and miss her. Especially when I go at her house. The house that she once stood in and inside there is her bed... empty and a photo of her smiling. The day of her funeral, I wanted to go inside her house and my dad told me "Why are you going? She isn't there" and that made me cry so much. It's been almost 2 years since she died and I miss her everyday. When I go at her grave I just spill my thoughts out loud just so she can hear me and just know how much I miss her.

  21. C.... 0....

    hits home

  22. C.... ....

    1:54, holy crap- that stopped my heart for a second. i have my headphones on high volume.

  23. K.... O....

    It's almost five years my Mom has passed and I'm crying now realizing this talks about someones Mom at least I think

  24. W.... S....

    Sometimes my mom says my brothers and I don't love her. I have to tell her that I cry when this song plays because I imagine something happening to her.

  25. S.... k....

    I wonder if they could release anything ugly

  26. S.... M....

    My story is similar to Jonny’s. I grew up in a Christian home, my mom was very religious and she had already battled cancer once. Shortly after my fourth child was born, she became sick again and this time she just held to her faith... and prayed for a miracle.
    I could see her body and mind failing her and my thought process was God you take her or you fix her but I can’t see her in pain anymore. When he says “tightly she holds, but the plan still unfolds” I understand exactly what he means... see my mom, she wasn’t ready to go and she fought her sickness... but the cancer overcame her... the 3 weeks of hospice she went from being herself to a mindless soul. I was there holding her in her last moments, holding on until she gave her last breath. This song brings me comfort knowing she’s in God’s glory, I know I have everything I need now and in a blink of an eye we will meet again.

  27. L.... C....

    My grandpa died 6 months ago. Demention is a terible thing. He was 95 years but still to soon. Such a strong, proud and loving person. ❤ Im still so numb, this song brings so much emotion, emotions i keep inside.
    I hold his hand till his last breath and i am so thankfull for that

  28. p.... g....

    Damn man. Fade in fade out- dad. 9/23/1952 to 6/20/2002
    And this... My mom
    10/4/1961-1/16/2016
    Fucking shit.

  29. A.... B....

    Not gonna lie, I lost it at "and she wishes she could still be around when I marry".

  30. J.... C....

    "Into the Light" by In This Moment is probably the most heartbreaking song I have heard. This is a close second.

  31. A.... N....

    I don't have a good relationship with my mother, nor my father. But this song successfully did something i cannot foresee before. I cried....

  32. A.... C....

    Everyone knows not to leave anyone behind god left us behind

  33. A.... C....

    I still think god should get involved and do something vs nothing I understand all these lyrics

  34. O.... Y....

    My mom passed away 9 years ago in my arms and this song turns me into a blubbering baby every time I hear it. RIP mom rock on nothing more....🤘😪🤘

  35. D.... X....

    Got some lyrics tattooed on me. In memory of my son. 😩❤️

  36. S.... U....

    This song makes me cry every time I hear it

  37. E.... W....

    To the 464 people who disliked this song.... your moms a hoe. This song made me cry so hard. I just lost both my grandparents back to back within a weeks span. And they were my moms parents. She had cancer and he died of a broken heart. My heart breaks for my poor mom. Even though they’re in a better place, it still hurts for me too. Such tragedy. This song. It brings out my emotions I sort of glaze over. The anger. The hurt. The shock. The hole in your life. I’d lose my mind if I lost my mom.

  38. N.... ....

    Another great song from these guys.

  39. H.... S....

    Ick me up

  40. M.... B....

    I live this song now mine died July 5th and I am only 15 I feel his pain

  41. *.... ....

    I love this song so much. I always listen to it. I have both of my parents still but I will eventually lose them both.. this is sad but we all have to go through it. It sucks.

  42. C.... A....

    This is a really sad song ;-;

  43. P.... P....

    It still makes me cry every time I hear it

  44. s.... s....

    GYM MOoD

  45. c.... a....

    Uh....I'll just go listen to TOOL!

  46. j.... ....

    My mom saw me take my first breath. I saw her take her last....😔

  47. J.... T....

    The fact he made a song for her shows how much he loves her

  48. J.... F....

    i wish someone is here with and just shout it out

  49. J.... F....

    totally relate to this song

  50. J.... F....

    wow awesome song ...miss my dad listening to this..

  51. A.... D....

    I didn't expect to cry so damn much

  52. k.... w....

    just wow again and again I discover another song by this band that gets me

  53. K.... K....

    I can't stop coming back to this song... I love my mom so much, stuff like this has to hurt. I know about this band's religious standings too and it even makes me think about that!

  54. B.... B....

    The ending gets me every time :(

  55. V.... H....

    "If you won't save her, please just take her"
    Fucking hell this lyric tears me up every damn time.

  56. X.... h....

    An angel, broken beyond any kind of reparation. You can’t fix her. Nor him. Both broken, one falls. One shatters. Both of them fall apart. We were far away but still together. Now we are both alone with someone else. Angelic voices get louder and louder, and as she slips away from reality, a blinding light holds the world captive. He repeats; “Keep holding on.” But she still slips slow and steady. He says; “Keep holding on”, and repeats it countlessly. “Keep holding on.” She slips farther and even deeper. The voices get louder and louder. The light even more blinding. He says; “If you can’t save her, please just take her away.” He kneels; “Keep holding on.” Everything stops. The light, the voices. She’s gone. He’s fallen even more. He doesn’t have anyone to tell him; “Keep holding on.” He is alone because he left, and came back too late. It may feel like God Went North, and left you to be. But just know, you have everything you need. So just keep holding on. Don’t let go. Never surrender.
    “Keep holding on.” she used to tell him.
    “Keep holding on.” he told her. She slipped.
    He was too late... she died from her own words...



    (Thank you if you read all of this. I wrote this when I was broken over someone. I was shattered. Now I feel better :))

  57. T.... J....

    Whoever gives this a thumbs down must be heartless :(

  58. C.... O....

    This makes me cry my grandma died last night

  59. A.... B....

    God went North to help the starks defend winterfell.

  60. C.... V....

    I lost my father to cancer back in January 2017. He fought hard for close to 7 months and I’ve never been the same since. I struggled with my faith and I recall being in the bathroom of my fathers hospital room...the door was closed and I just wept and cried to God...asking why He would let something so horrific happen to someone so incredible...I’ve struggled with my faith since then and struggled with being able to trust God ...I’ve put my faith on the back burner for now in my life...I know one day I’ll come back to it...

  61. K.... B....

    I listened to this song so much when I had to watch my grandma suffer with cancer slowly disinigrating daily until God called her home

  62. E.... H....

    Here from become the knight

  63. D.... W....

    This song is everything it breaks my heart but I love it

  64. C.... t....

    4:00 oh, the way he says please...

  65. u.... t....

    i took pills... JUST RIGHT NOW!!!!! im not lying

  66. {.... ....

    It's been 12 years since it all finally ended. I wish I could write to you why this song means a lot to me, but it still hurts too much.

  67. Y.... W....

    This song is the shit

  68. P.... ....

    This is what was playing on my phone (per her request) as my mom slipped away...

    Rest Well, Momma.
    (1964-2017)

  69. M.... ....

    For a second (from the title) i thought it was an Amon Amarth song xD

  70. D.... K....

    I lost my mother in january. I can totally relate. Its devastating to feel such pain. This song gives hope to those that lost someone that lost some one so close. Everyone love your momma with everything you have. You never know when you wont have such a wonderful woman again. If ever

  71. P.... T....

    This song is truly amazing. My mom suffered with cancer for 13 years. The doctors all told her she had 5 years to live and she struggled through taking around 10 pills a day and chemo and I watched her fall apart growing up. She committed suicide 2 years ago and it has shattered me to see her go through all that struggle and end like that. I wish more than anything I could have been there for than I was. Thank you for this beautiful song!

  72. H.... s....

    This song is for my grandmother, who stepped in as my mother, sadly she is gone before I Wed the one I was meant to be with all this time... Nothing More has so many songs that dont just speak to the heart but takes you by the soul and shakes you... This and Fade in / Fade out are two songs That just gets the feelings going

  73. J.... B....

    I know the feels of this song few years back in 2015 I lost my grandfather's I been lost since then they were the only people who guided me to the right path and then they died it broke me to pieces I began arguing with my parents on why they dont care about me and I moved out it's been hard to speak to them since

  74. A.... O....

    I always liked this group and so did my mom, i had a young mother, she actually preferred a lot more modern rock/metal was a really cool mother the best in my eye. I did not relate or care for the sadness of this song then. But i just lost my mom to cancer a few months ago and every word of this song i relate too word for word.

  75. M.... ....

    I’ll hold you 'til the end!!

  76. P.... D....

    I miss my mom... she passed away when i was 10. So many years in the hospital.. i never got to say goodbye to her. I miss her so much.

  77. B.... H....

    I first heard this shortly after my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and listened to it all the time b/c I could see the pain in her eyes and knew that she didn't want to live like she was with the chemo. The day she passed I was driving my dad home from the hospital she died in. This came on my pandora, I thought about skipping it b/c I wasn't ready for it but thought my dad may need to hear it. I pulled over knowing I wasn't going to be able to drive listening to this. So hear we are, my 62 year old dad and my 32yo self bawling on the side of the road when an officer taps on the window. He sees the state we're in and asked what was up, I explained about my mom and the song and he let us go. Anywho, I'm again bawling at my desk typing this but just want to say thank you!

  78. J.... E....

    eu acho q essa musica significa q eu comi de qm ta lendo

  79. T.... D....

    Goosebumps and hairs at its end. Nice 🤘

  80. S.... T....

    Happy birthday grandma rip

  81. S.... T....

    When my grandma and aunt were sick in the hospital slowly dying I’d always here this song and to this day after their passing and before I can never hear this song without bursting into tears
    It’s one of those songs that trigger me into a panic attack

  82. U.... R....

    Nothing More has always been one of my favorite bands, mainly because most if not all of their songs have some sort of meaning.

  83. F.... ....

    Cried like a baby listening to this song. I love you Jonny and Nothing More..you'll never understand how your music makes me feel! 😍❤🔥

  84. A.... C....

    This is all I need. Nothing more.

  85. A.... S....

    So excited to see thes guys live in march. This song is incredible

  86. N.... M....

    This song makes me cry because I was next to my aunt's bed when she was on life support asking God to please end her suffering.

  87. B.... B....

    This is for my mother, grandmother, grandfather, and great uncle. I watched them all wither and die. I watched as they faded. Held my great uncle in my hands after he had a seizure in the last weeks... He was so frail. My grandmother I saw slowly wither. She got bed ridden. My grandfather went into the hospital and never came back. My mother, was killed and taken from this the world far too early. Because of this I was raised by my grandmother. She was my mom. She was so sick. So miserable. So unhappy. My buddy called one day and I let him talk to her. She told my friend over the phone that she wanted to die... They all suffered. I had to watch it. It is like these guys lived my life.

  88. :.... R....

    It sucks when you cant say you dont relate to this

  89. P.... H....

    Excellent,awesome most incredible. Praise God for all Moms.............................

  90. H.... B....

    My grandmother raised me through my mom's drug problem, she was strong and this song reminds me of her, she hadn't passed... But it still makes me think of her.




    "Cut from the cord of the mother."

  91. S.... M....

    wow!! what a beautiful and yet emotional song very touch. ..thinking of my dad lost his battle due to cancer 4 months back..sad......

  92. J.... G....

  93. T.... C....

    This song coming after Jenny makes so much sense, I never realized they were connected. Pyre too. A beautiful end to the album.

  94. O.... i....

    The way he says "please" at 4:00. Unreal vocals man, so raw.
