“The Cross”
I can’t seem to figure out the reasons why
You all choose to amass yourselves deep inside
You pray to someone given the name of Christ
After all that he took from you—let you cry
Even when your father fell down, paralyzed
I heard you call to Him despite all the lies
And no matter how hard you wanted to try
You just couldn’t force the spear into his side
You’re not the one who was nailed to the cross
So why should you be punished for the lost?
After all they’re the ones who lost their way
And in the end there’s nothing left to say
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
The pain He sets on you—well, it never will suffice
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
Why couldn’t you just force that damn spear into his side?
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
The things He says to you—well, they never will be right
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
I hope you go blind before you ever see the Light
Jerusalem calls—He doesn’t answer
And I know all the reasons why
Religion befell you like a cancer
Tricked into believing the lies
You’re not the one who was nailed to the cross
So why should you be punished for the lost?
After all they’re the ones who lost their way
And in the end there’s nothing left to say
Now the bombs explode to end yet another human life
The sane sit around and contemplate all the reasons why
Unable to do a thing because of restrictions
Placed upon them by the power of the Lord’s convictions
He’ll just take everything away from you—all that you had
To blur the line of emotion between happy and sad
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
The war drums pound as the terror marches through
And the only thing that can stop them is you
Burn the Book that taught you the things that are right
You’ll be blind before you ever see the light
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
You’re not the one who was nailed to the cross
So why should you be punished for the lost?
After all they’re the ones who lost their way
And in the end there’s nothing left to say
Except
Fuck your God, your Lord and your Christ
He did this to you
Took all you had
And left you this way
The remnants
Of a perfect circle
