Of Prometheus And The Crucifix

I am the Promethean

Tragic figure in this dream

Dream known as life

I bring spark into the lives

Take the molded, show them fire

Fire's the spark in their eyes



My flesh is ripped at daily

It's the cross I bear



I feel it tear out my insides

A pain so heavy I could collapse

I feel it just may kill me

I must brave through this storm



I am made exemplary

Lashed up by the public scene

For bearing my heart, my soul's on fire

I pull my ribs open now

Bleed my heart upon the grounds

Drink of the blood, take me in



My flesh is ripped at daily

It's the cross I bear



I feel it tear out my insides

A pain so heavy I could collapse

I feel it just may kill me

I must brave through this storm



Chain me down, nail me up

It feels so cold on my skin

Flesh cut deep from their claws

Chew my organs out

Salivating with hate

Crown of thorns, deathly boards; won't

Make me cease to be

You've turned this scapegoat into

The lion that will devour you whole



2x

My flesh is ripped at daily

It's the cross I bear



2x

I feel it tear out my insides

A pain so heavy I could collapse

I feel it just may kill me

I must brave through this storm
