Anacrusis

For forever living in
For forever dying in
The shadow of a killing cross
Born and held accountable
Sworn to bear the burden, now
For sinful nails
Driven deep
But I cant be responsible
For having done the unthinkable
And wont...
No, I wont play that role
For forever living in
For forever dying in
The ashes of a smoldering cross
Born and held accountable
Sworn to bear the burden, now
For shameful hands
Which held the flame
But I cant be responsible
For changing the unchangeable
And wont...
Dont, to ourselves, we owe release?
With rusted chains
We incarcerate and cage ourselves
Cease
We patronize and crucify
And kill ourselves
We seduce the past
And draw it close
And hold it tight
And never let it go
Until we hurt ourselves
And hate ourselves
And blame ourselves again
Again...
No, we cant be responsible
For bearing the unbearable
And wont...
Dont, to ourselves, we owe release?
With rusted chains
We incarcerate and cage ourselves
Cease
We patronize and crucify
And kill ourselves
We seduce the past
And draw it close
And hold it tight
And never let it go
Until we hurt ourselves
And hate ourselves
And blame ourselves again
Again...
