Crucify The Dead

The fire started long ago
The flames burned out, still embers glow
So charred and black
There's nothing left to burn, to burn.

We had the same dream
Lived life to extreme
A loaded gun jammed by a rose.

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah.

The future is unset in stone
Decisions past leave you alone
Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah.

New soldiers now say
That your beggars collect
Re-crucified and paid by you.

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah.

We were like brothers with the world in our hands
You always have too much to say
Someday you look back and you wonder why
You let it all slip away, yeah.

[SOLO]

Crucify the dead
Crucify the dead.

The thorns are knots around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah.
