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 :-)
