Cowering Messiah Lyrics

Crucify, the pilot said under them.
Behold your king, this Jesus of Nazareth.
Claim him, as your saviour.
Martyred.
In the name of pagan laws,
The scourging, the scars of humiliation.
Impaled as a king, the solitude of excommunication.
Claim him, as your saviour martyred in the name of pagan laws.
Follow me, you will live forever.
Prove your worth supposed son of god.
A self proclaimed king of the Jews.
A trial he will lose.
Convicted as a common thief.
Sentenced for his crimes, found guilty.
Visions of malice, deceit, so vile is his image to me.
Destined to be banished from Earth.
Raises the questions of his birth.
A cowering messiah is dead, to him I shall repent.
To a traitor upon a cross, for whom his life is lost?
Not me!
