I gaze into the bleak faces The crooked figures coming around here to die On Golgatha-Hill I reside And crucify them There's one amongst them who was living in vain The King of Jews is now a King of Pain First they brought you incense and gold Now they bring you hammer and nails On a ross ends redemption foretold The reign of God is a kingdom which fails I'm your demise Emperor of lies! I drink the wine of fear from your eyes As I lift my hammer up high And feast on your pityful cry With my first nail The only way to salvage your soul Is self-sacrifice, that's what you preach Now I grant you the best chance to teach it The jackals and ravens You told your followers about your kingdom above The first four metres you're already aloft! Now I've taken your blood and your flesh And hung it up high in the wind Now would you please forgive me my sins As you have promised? Oh you glorious ruler benign Tied and fastened in your kingdom up high Bless your followers with arms opened wide And perish forever!
