I am the priest so I will testify what is 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 that none can tell that all's not well where they dwell He is a beast I will falsify to use this man until he dies I will 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 where I tread Where the 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 with his 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 You 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 They bore witness but still need proof they bow their heads as the night falls
