A pantheon (from Greek Πάνθεον - pantheon, literally "a temple of all gods", "of or common to all gods", from πᾶν pan- "all" + θεῖος theios, "of or for the gods", from θεός theos "god") is a set of all the gods of a particular polytheistic religion or mythology.
Max Weber's 1922 opus, Economy and Society discusses the link between a pantheon of gods and the development of monotheism.
Pantheon can also refer to a temple or sacred building explicitly dedicated to "all deities", avoiding the difficulty of giving an exhaustive list. The most known such structure is the Pantheon of Rome, built in the year 27 BC. The building was dedicated to "all gods" as a gesture embracing the religious syncretism in the increasingly multicultural Roman Empire, with subjects worshipping gods from many cultures and traditions. The building was later renovated for use as a Christian church in 609 under Pope Boniface IV.
Since the 16th century "pantheon" also refers in a secular sense to the set of a society's exalted persons. For example "Mick Jagger was exalted into the pantheon of rock megastars".
Christian Charles Philip Bale (born 30 January 1974) is an English actor. Best known for his roles in American films, Bale has starred in both big budget Hollywood films and the smaller projects from independent producers and art houses.
Bale first caught the public eye at the age of 13, when he was cast in the starring role of Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun (1987). He played an English boy who is separated from his parents and subsequently finds himself lost in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. He is also notable for his role as serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (2000), and for portraying Bruce Wayne/Batman in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and the upcoming finale The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
In 2010, Bale portrayed Dicky Eklund in the biopic The Fighter. He received critical acclaim for his role and won several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role.
It was a long haul
It was a dark road
We were fighting for a light
We had to row the boat
Before we sank it in the river
And the mud, it sank deep in my skin
Watching you crawl from the corner looking in
You said, "we are gods."
It was a long night
Through the desert ride
Before our wheels were sinking in
We didn't know much where we were
Our feet were flying toward the ceiling
And a bird, he said, holding his breath
Looking at me cause he thought we cheated death
He said, "we are gods."
Yeah, we own the road
Oh, got control
We had a chokehold on the rest of the world
Until we slow down
And then we go down round
Yeah, we own the road
Oh, got control
We had a chokehold on the rest of the world
We own the road
Oh, got control
We had a chokehold on it
Cause we are gods.
I'm lying on my death-bed
Light of life begins to fade
I feel how I fall
To the side of death
I hear gods calling me
Call me down to the grave
I know that I won't die
And I'll go there brave
Gods are calling me
Those Gods
Me and my soul we are saved
YES, WE ARE SAVED
Now I've passed my life
On the emptiness I'm flying
No one knows but me
What is after dying
Flying here with those gods
Flyind speed of light
What I was is forgotten
I'm the god without a fight
Gods called me
Me and my soul from the grave
Those gods
Me and my soul we are saved
YES, WE ARE SAVED
I won't come down
From a place which can't be found
Because I live now here
God Status… Musical… Omnipotent
It’s time to go brothers, 11 years and we finally here
Beyond the stars, the trinity
Gods status lets go!

Me and Tech an them started on a quest for M-O-N-E-Y,
we touch’in so many, why? Cause we spiritual
Feel’n every syllable we spit out
We angels, that’s the way we tell’n demons to get out,
so bled out
Baddest nigga represent’n the Midow
Feel’n like the world cannot live wit’out, Ta-dow!
Now we immortal! Someone open up the portal!
Rap is ever lethal when me and Nina was caught on!
We God status, got through a task at us
Told us he make us angels but our missions to kill the
baddest
So we gotta blast the bastards with our rap and
apparatus’s
Never let off the ravage on ‘em like rabbits on
radishes
Who like the Grateful Dead, our fans are the new dead
heads
We keep’n every word we say’n like it’s a pledge
And when you hear them gods and love how it sounded
When ya see the king kneel to the ground, make a fist
and pound it
[Hook]
Who do you believe in? Is it he, is it me? W-E- them G-

I told you I’m forever didn't I?
Highly exalted then christen (your souls) those
grounded I inspire to lift
‘Em up, the holy ghost and the frequency of your audio
speakers
There set on all that can reach us, by now were adios
Witness the blessin’s beliefs and hopefulness I bestow
‘em upon a fan or
Foe
Man or those oppose’n the Chanet growth
I plant it so everyone on the planet can evoke the
entity sent to be this
Music industries manifold
I manifested this bitch, suggested that I rose up from
under the sheets of
God’s baby cradle sent down to pose a threat to
messanic rappers protest
Agonist moral lackage, invested in this infested
depiction of worldwide
Gibberish
Sss soft no more here it is, a little experiment with
Jesus blood and water
When the spirit mix, drink it, it’s so refresh’n just
like the air of my
Message, The breeze carries and once you inhale it then
I will ask you
[Hook]
Who do you believe in? Is it he, is it me? W-E- them G-
O-D’s
(Do you believe, believe, believe)
Do you believe? Do you believe?
Who do you believe in? Is it he, is it me? W-E- them G-

Do you believe? Do you believe?
Who do you believe in?

[Tech N9ne]
Exalted… Bosses, get off his office with crosses,
that’s what he fought
With in darkness's losses, no caustic losses cause the
brains embossed with
The word auspiciousness, Feed my fam flows fluidly,
they would never leave
My land no truancy, cause I am the reason they stand
for unity,
Unlike me with whackness you give yo fans no immunity,
I am the air they share, I am the heir to the throne
where no compare in my
Own zone this lair is home grown, it’s rare but it’s on
strong,
Beware, long gone if you dare got the wrong tone,
Now, we are beyond those who got fame, gave my heart
and many souls were
Obtained, so my lane will definitely not change cause
G.O.D.S. means the
Great Omnipotent Doc Strange
[Hook]
Who do you believe in? is it he, is it me? W-E- them G-

Do you believe? Do you believe?
Who do you believe in?
Gods!
1st Verse:
Before the dawning of your morning sun
I bow down before you for you are the one
Even at noon day to mid afternoon
Evening's arrival you shine like the moon
Hook:
When love's in the place
God's in the space
This the place
The place for you
2nd Verse:
You play the music and I'll keep the time
You give me rhythm and I'll give you rhyme
When friends they don't follow
And peace I can't find
Your words make me humble
With new state of mind
Hook:
When love's in the place
God's in the space
This the place
The place for you
Bridge:
La La La La La La La La
Whoa-o-o-o-oh Yeah
La La La La La La La La
Whoa-o-o-o-oh who
Hook:
When love's in the place
God's in the space
This the place
The place for you
Vamp:
This is This is the place for you
For you, for you, for you
Oh Love, Love, Love
An unreal dream
Where peace is all around
Beneath the glimmer of color
The shadow of the thorn
With open eyes shining
Through the empty halls around
What once seemed real
Just a shadow in my mind
Longing, searching for the truth
Say, say where I stand
Beneath the silent wheel
The same dusty road
A heart marble cold
Feeling nothing but contempt
With eyes in search for freedom
Blinded by prejudice
A mind in search of wisdom
Fooled... again
Longing, searching for the truth
Say, say where I stand
I want to know the answer to
What lies beyond this hand
Betray your will
Release these chains that hold me down
Empty gods that stain you life
Guilt remains
Defeat the gods that hold me down
These pantheon walls no longer stand
Lost within yourself
Try to reach for something new
The rose that promised hope
Withered from within
Stop staring at the sky
