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  :-)
