lyrics

Frail soul in a shroud of flame
Fear grows with every step he takes
Waiting for someone to call his name
Gasping for air inside a pit of snakes
All alone, eyes of stone
In silent protest
He will not rest
Until you set him free
From this world of hatred
Free from a world where injustice is king
And the pale, sly serpents
Snap and coil and hiss
Promise joy and bliss
Open wide and get your Judas kiss

He's the sincere assassin
He is a fury, forsaken and reborn
As a human time bomb
Hidden in plain view
Just like me and you
Broken halo battered black and blue

Bound by the chains
Of hope and despair
His mortal remains
Float through the air
No secret plan
No second sight
Only a man
Of anger and light

No crown of thorns
No reasons why
Naked and torn
You'll make him die
"Price you pay
When you play!"

Drowning in a tangled heap
Too bad, he got in way too deep
Crossing the rivers where angels weep
A frail soul, laid to sleep.
