I am the priest so I will testify

Here before us is not a lie

This man that bleeds from his hands and eyes

A messiah, a pariah, he gives me life

Weave a spell

None can tell

All's not well

Where they dwell

He is a beast I will falsify

To use this man until he dies

Use his blood to mystify

To anoint you all, drenched in sighs

I count the heads

Of those I've bled

Of those I've lead

To wherе I tread

Where thе blind the one-eyed is king

(Lead us not into temptation)

Some are blind with just good eyes

(Deliver us from contemplation)

Watch the old get religion quick

In the devil you may not believe

(Lead us not into revelation)

But he still believes in you

(Deliver us from fascination)

In vain to escape the tomb

In pain knowing of their doom

I'm reaching out, you're coming in

I'm reaching out, you're wearing thin

I'm reaching out, you're coming in

I'm reaching out, you're wearing thin

He saw the image of a man crucified in the midst of his wings

Hands and his feet nailed to the cross

He's bleeding out, you're coming in

I'm reaching out, you're wearing thin

He's bleeding out, you're drinking in

He's bleeding out to drown your sins

And his mind was flooded with a mixture of joy and sorrow

He was lost in a world of wonder

Each day I'm the god, each hour I'm the rule

Every minute is mine, every second for the fool

Quote from the book but you don't understand

He is what he is, you worshippers of man

Superficial saviours of God

Is what you crave till your grave, still you lead them on

May fate have its vengeance on you

When the last dollar's spent and your days are through

When the death knell, it rings with the tolling of the bell

You'll realize just how far you fell

Red in claw, sharp in tooth

Man is man but the truth is the truth

They turn their backs now to the Son

Red in claw, sharp in tooth

Bore witness but still need proof

They bow their heads as the night falls
