On Display
I hang before the masses
Like a painting on the wall
Villagers that pass me by
Pay no heed at all
I suffer for the moment
But I bear the pain of time
I ressurect the happiness
That's lost inside the mind
I hang before the masses
As a testiment of life
An image of forgotten will
A flag of pain and strife
I bleed the blood of courage
And I harbour tears of shame
All I ask is that the world
Remember me by name
I hang before the masses
Like a poster on the wall
Wondering if anyone
Will remember me at all
I hang before the masses
For all the world to see
A symbol of undying love
To set the spirit free
My arms are stretched out wide
They reach from nail to nail
Cry for me and I will be
Beside you without fail
I hang before the masses
As I wear a thorny crown
I'm guaranteed to be released
Before they let me down
I'll take a three day rest
Until the angels move the stone
Then once again I'll walk the Earth
To prove you're not alone
Rockman :-)
