I have been watching you just like an angel
writing your name in my unholy book
I have been trying to warn you of danger
writing you songs and giving you looks
Still, you're slipping away
and you'll never be saved
yes, you all must resign to your fate
Yeah, you're slipping away
and you can't even pray
because you've murdered your gods
with your hate
Oh, I open my window
and spread out my arms to the world
may the wind come like nails
to crucify me to the shadows of my bedroom
where the voices are torturing me

I've seen this world in peculiar state
I've been the victim of rumors and hate
But I guess I've been chosen to carry this cross around
In this ridiculous smallest of towns.
But I will not sell out
I will not give in
and the liars I will not defend
No, I will not sell out
I will not give in
for it's the liars who are always
accusing the righteous of sin

And they're raising up their crosses
and they're looking at me, oh please
And they're picking up stones
they accuse me of sin
but I say go ahead and throw it
for you're casting your stones at the wind

You say I've taken your daughters away
but I say that you gave them no reason to stay
You say that I've taken your sons far away
but they left on their own from denial and hypocrisy
Still, you criticize me and you fear what you see
but you can't even see what you fear
That the fear's within you and you're so scared of the truth
that you project all your ills upon me

Oh, just open up your eyes
and behold the immaculate lie
Our forefathers murdered
to possess this great land
they shed blood for their greed
and now their children do not understand
Who were they anyway to create a law
that should govern a world
that their dying eyes never even saw
Yeah, who were they anyway
that we should cease to evolve
to pay heed and to follow
these outdated and ridiculous laws

I have been watching you just like an angel
writing your name in my unholy book
I have been trying to warn you of danger
writing you songs and giving you looks
.... Oh well.
