Messiah

Every day you show me
The meaning of love
By driving another nail
Through the hand
That healed you

Covered in a thousand scars
Only the Father can see
But I expose them to the world
Nailed upon this tree
I whisper in your ear

Beg me…beg me...
Beg me, won’t you...?

Two for my hands
Another for my feet
Hang me up, so all can see
That I’m the only one
I’m the only one
Who will die for you
I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO
WILL DIE FOR YOU!!!

BEG ME, BEG ME, BEG ME!!
WON’T YOU?! WON’T YOU?!

You’re so busy searching for
new reasons to complain
You never stop to think of the pain
YOU NEVER THINK OF PAIN!!!
YOU NEVER THINK OF IT!!!
YOU NEVER!!

God, take me away from this
I can’t stand it any longer
TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!!
PLEASE, GOD JUST TAKE THIS AWAY!!

You desecrate my house
You curse my name
And spit in my face
You call me a liar
You persecute my family
And try to drive me away

So ungrateful
I’d like to leave you behind
So unfaithful
Despite deserving to burn
I’m bleeding to wash away your sin

You deserve to burn
But I know how ignorant you are
Yeah, I know how ignorant you are
I know, I know, I know
CAN’T YOU SEE?!
CAN’T YOU SEE?!
I DO THIS ALL FOR YOU?!
FOR YOU?! FOR YOU?!
ALL OF THIS!!
HOW DO YOU THANK ME?!
HOW DO YOU THANK ME?!

CRUCIFY HIM!!
HIT IT ONE MORE TIME!!
ONE MORE TIME!!

THE HAND THAT HEALED YOU!!
