Crucifixion

But you know I predicted it, I knew He had to fall
As the Cross is trembling with desire
So good to be alive when the eulogy is read
His cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn

But they all glow brighter from the brilliance of the blaze
First, a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night
'Cause we love you

'Til the giant is aware, someone's pulling at His leg

Now, who would want to hurt such a Hero of the game?
Truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light

But the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat
Time takes her toll and memory fades
'Cause we love you
'Cause we love you

Teach us to be true
But the louder that He screams, longer He's ignored
Come, dance, dance, dance
Yes, the eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind
Drama is distorted, what they want to hear
Excitement is ecstatic, passion places bets
So dance, dance, dance
With the speed of insanity then He died

To dance, dance, dance
'Till the universe explodes as a falling star is raised
But to the silence of distance they are sworn
The Gentle Soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire

The stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie
An assault upon the order, changing of the guard
To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
Teach us to be true
And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars
Teach us to be true
And God help the critic of the dawn
The Spanish bulls are beaten, the crowd is soon beguiled

For blood is the language of the band
The matador is beautiful, a symphony of style
But they all glow brighter from the brilliance of the blaze
So dance, dance, dance
All the canons are horrified, they stagger from the sight
Gracefully He bows to ovations that He gets
Then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar
So dance, dance, dance
And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
How did it happen? I hope His suffering was small
Success is an enemy to the losers of the day
Swimming in their sorrow, in the twisting of a tear
So dance, dance, dance
But His glory is broken in magic that He made
Come, dance, dance, dance
To the safety of sterility, the threat has been refined
And someone is tapping at the door
They say they can't believe it, it's a sacrilegious shame
Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
The child was created, to the slaughterhouse he's led

Come, dance, dance, dance
The rewarding of His pain is the following of the man
'Til the Universe explodes as a falling star is raised
Teach us to be true
Reality is ruined, it's the freeing from the fear
As they wait for a new thrill parade
For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs

'Cause we love you
Come, dance, dance, dance

But ignorance is everywhere and people have their way
In the green fields a turnin', baby is born
'Cause we love you

Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate

And the cycle of sacrifice unwinds
Images of innocence charge Him go on
Tell me every detail, I've got to know it all
Come, dance, dance, dance

And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged
In the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray
But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn
Then His message gathers meaning and it spreads across the land
Climax of emotion, the worship of the dead
And do you have a picture of the pain?
Teach us to be true
And saliva is falling from their smiles
So he stands on the sea and He shouts to the shore
Binding revelation is laid upon His plate
