Story Behind The Song

I saw the Passion and got mad

Song Description

All I want to say is that this is not meant to be anti-Jesus in any way. It's a song exploring the possibilty of the anger someone might feel after living a good life and then being crucified.

Lyrics

The Passion
Look at me
Mutilated
Can?t you see I?m all of your mistakes
I rain from my eyes
But tears won?t bring back any life to your fields
Only asphyxiate your barren soil

Cut my heel and drain me slowly
Slaughter the last lamb left in you
Cry out my rage
I command the four generals
You wouldn?t see the truth even if it put you in your grave

It?s not about me
My life never was
Add my blood to your collection when my bones aren?t enough
Now I see
As a result of your infliction
My death is liberation in comparison to your love

Cut my heel?

And if I returned
You would probably snuff me out again
And again you?d be misguided
Everybody?s Jesus when they?re right
Everybody thinks they?re Jesus
In a world full of self-proclaimed enlightenment
Humanity is an adolescent species
So quick to think they know
Wearing youth upon their sleeve
And if I returned
You would probably rub me out again
?Cause what I?d say would go against everything that you believe

I promise you won?t find me in a temple
Try looking in the mouth of a crow
That died a long time ago
While you continue to
Define your righteousness by my torture
I ponder the details of my revenge
All I have to do is watch you do it to yourselves
Whatever you do to the least
I know you think you better than me
And vengeance is beautiful
