Scars of the Crucifix Lyrics

[Intro]
Impale the body
Scars of his flesh
Hung up to die on the crucifixion
Bleeding to breathe
Cursing at god
Why?!


[Verse 1]
The glory resurrection live in wounds of recollection
Who take his will unreasoned naivete inside soul defeated
Lascivious redemption justify thy vile absence
Propagate his aggression as you use his words as weapons

[Chorus]
Lies now have you lost, the worthless cause of the crucifixion
The sanctity, to hang and bleed, and in the form of a human cross
Blind by prophecy, his bible fiend, a bloody sword of his fantasy
Tried for heresy, and sacrilege, to bare the scars of the crucifix

[Verse 2]
You walk alone with Jesus in a world of non-believers
Humiliated savior is thy son of heavens failure
For ever left undone on the cross for everyone
His words of god unheard, he is dead and not concerned
[Chorus]
God fatality, the life recedes on the cross of his sign
Finality in search of peace, to beg and plead for the end that will be
The light descends when suffering impaled again for your blasphemous lies
Resented death, his sins confessed, accept the scars of the crucifix

[Outro]
Sad in your sorrow
Withered within
Stand in the shadow of all of our sins
You are the son
Choke on his blood
Die!
