You held the weight of the world battered and bruised for prizing. Sharp thorns send chills to the bone as you begin your trek oh God Hands tied to the post the heavy blows to the back whips cut through the Skin. You have been pinned to the tree now the myths of the Jewish King have. Fled, by the blood of the lamb, by the blood By the blood I cannot believe that you've held on for this long The world is watching as we spit on your name The traitors laugh at the sound of betrayal And all have witnessed that your murder was priceless The chill of death creeps through your cold veins "Father here is my spirit" Lance driven in spilling blood and water "Father why have you forsaken me?" Your blood has satisfied the lost souls marked with "To be rescued" Your stripes have ripped open making way for the opt and broken Your silence says so loud "I am willing and my love's forever" Your father has witnessed the conqeur of the world and the death of PERFECTION! PERFECTION! You bid to gasp but your lungs are clamped shut by the blood loss Cycles of twisting along the timber graded your back You bit to look but your eyes lock in tears shed from heartache Your teeth they grind and fasten, as I whip out the 9 you Bled by the stripes on your back Bled by the stripes on your back This cross is getting heavy This cross is getting heavy Taste the blood coming from the slash of Christ and tell me that you can't Regard. The world you find will set you free from sin may you never need To feed again. Let's take a look I assure you what you find will be the Hoard of your last being. God is living and he'd love to have you when This world your living leaves your rotten mind. I HAVE BEEN CLEANSED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB! "Father forgive them." IT IS FINISHED (Eli eli lama sabachthani) IT IS FINISHED
