Of Prometheus And The Crucifix

I am the Promethean
Tragic figure in this dream
Dream known as life
Known as life.

I bring spark into the lives
Take the molded, show them fire
Fire's the spark in their eyes.

My flesh is ripped at daily
It's the cross I bear.

I feel it tear out my insides
A pain so heavy I could collapse
I feel it just may kill me
I must brave through this storm.

I am made exemplary
Lashed up by the public scene
For bearing my heart
My soul's on fire.

I pull my ribs open now
Bleed my heart upon the ground
Drink of the blood, take me in.

My flesh is ripped at daily
It's the cross I bear.

I feel it tear out my insides
A pain so heavy I could collapse
I feel it just may kill me
I must brave through this storm.

Chain me down, nail me up!
It feels so cold on my skin
Flesh cut deep from their claws!
Chew my organs out.

Salivating with hate!
Crown of thorns, deathly boards
Won't make me cease to be.

You've turned this scapegoat
Into the lion that will
Devour you whole.

My flesh is ripped at daily
It's the cross I bear
My flesh is ripped at daily
It's the cross I bear.

I feel it tear out my insides
A pain so heavy I could collapse
I feel it just may kill me
I must brave through this storm.

I feel it tear out my insides
A pain so heavy I could collapse
I feel it just may kill me
I must brave through this storm.
