Stillborn Resurrection

Once upon a time -
two thousand years ago:
a so-called martyr died
to save all human souls,
maybe sent by god,
maybe just a fool,
a spark of love
that turned into
a hellish firestorm:

Nailed to the cross
to die for our sins -
a human sacrifice
to relieve all human means.

Jesus Christ, where are you now,
was it worth the pain?
Seems to me,
your mission has failed,
your life was all in vain!

Two thousand years
of christianity
scarred this plant's face,
in honour of a mighty God
they enslaved the human race,
crusades, inquisitions,
countless holy wars,
suppressing art and science,
force you down to their laws;

Nailed to the cross
to die for our sins -
a human sacrifice
to relieve all human means.

Jesus Christ, do you see,
What they do in your name?
Suppression, exploitation
of the masses
your death was all in vain!

One day they'll find
the scroll with the big red "Q"
to prove for all time:
It's all been just a joke!

Stillborn Resurrection

Jesus Christ, Lord of Lies,
swallowed be thy name!
Thy kingdom falls, thy will be gone
your life was all in vain!
