lyrics

Back up on the cross again.
Forgive them father, for they don’t know
This is where I have always been.
But I don’t know if I’m
coming back from this.
Not like I can just fade into the mist,
For they still reminisce
Of the times when they shown
That even sitting on a throne
Doesn’t mean your heart is fully pure
If they can show the slightest sign
That you are less than divine
They’ll test and see what you can endure.

We are gods and We are monsters.
We create and we lay waste.
We are looked up to for answers.
We are love and hate.

Hunted down while wearing
This sheep’s wool.
They’re after blood.
Im After somewhere to hide from
This full moon.
Couldn’t leave any clue or any trace
That my arrival was a fall from hell
Or at best a fall from Grace.
But they don’t really care
Either way they remain scared.
Terrified and ready to condemn.
So they will take the chance
To give the evil eye a glance
For they can’t fear what they can apprehend.

We are gods and We are monsters.
We create and we lay waste.
We are looked up to for answers.
We are love and hate.

Savage beasts and sacred saviors
Are different just by name.
We can barely tell the difference.
But they hang just the same.

Back up on the cross again.
Forgive them father, for they don’t know
This is where I have always been.
