Symbol of Despair Lyrics

Look at the crucifix, whom do you see -
God or an outlaw, a saint or a sinner?
Nailed to the cross in every church
Bleeding and pleading for salvation

It was the same thing 2,000 years ago
The priests captured Him, offering prayers
He is held in prison with high towers
Symbolizing the holy sadism, perfumed with incense

The ceremonies are held in front of him
While he suffers and looks down from the cross
The wounds keep bleeding
Crucified Lord hanging by his human neck

Why take off the executed messiah?
Being nailed he looks so pathetic
Brutal symbol created produce a profit
The newly-converted sacrifice their souls

To release him means to lose faith
The church will perish losing its influence
The temples will fall burying suffering
The religious tenets will turn to dust

Evolution of humanity
Is the mockery of the crucified slave
Surrounding yourself with corpses
You hope to get enlightenment

Will the suffering end or a new pain appears?
Supporting the cult you’re nailing yourself to this cross
Thy flesh is pierced by the agony of salvation
Anxiety seizes your mind
