Beaten and bruised with blood on my skin, thoughts run through my brain
The blood, the beatings, I cannot take it, I cannot breath anymore
The wood it's heavy it breaks my back, there is no revenge for me
I'm waiting to die, I try to cry but there's no pain anymore
Crushed, Slashed, beaten, bruised, just for you to be amused
Cant you feel my pain, I cant take it, I don't want to die
Lashings, Beatings, Coming down on top of my skull
Hellfire, Brimstone, judgement soon to unfold
The scorching desert sun puts blisters on my skin as I make my way west
For then I'm hung up high as my weight drags the rope round my arms
The buzzards rake my skin, the insects crawl inside as the sun falls
Jerusalem stands high as the void gapes open to consume me
Crushed, Slashed, beaten, bruised, just for you to be amused
Cant you feel my pain, I cant take it, I don't want to die
Lashings, Beatings, Coming down on top of my skull
Hellfire, Brimstone, judgement soon to unfold
There is no savior, There is no god
I am your savior, I am your god
Lashed to a Fucking cross
