Yeah I know what you are Just an icon for fools to succumb to Yeah I know what you are A false deity, imposter Yeah I know what you are Sacrificed by those you were sent to save Yeah I know what you are The last prayer for the dying The image of your god Nailed to a cross Was that his greatest feat? His most important task? Yeah I know what you are Just an icon for fools to succumb to Yeah I know what you are A false deity, imposter Yeah I know what you are The last hope for the dying The image of your god Nailed to a cross Was that his greatest feat? His most important task? What of the lepers healed The prophecies foretold Why not immortalise these You aren't entirely sold Your magnanimous god Bait for the vultures Can't you tell he's merely a mortal Yet you wait and you wait For 2000 years you wait And still there's no one to save you! See your saviour hang See him wither and die Without an ounce of resistance As the nails drive in Thinks his father'll save him And the nails drive in, there he is Your Jesus Christ on the cross The great martyr Who gave his life for your salvation And where's he now For 2000 years you have waited He couldn't save himself How do you think he can save you?
