We stuck another in His back to seal creation's fate
That resonate in prayers of this never should be
And when He groaned, it laid our entire civilization to rest
And tie the tongues of those who lie
A, a crusader begging for a crusade in which to die
Someone plunged a dagger deep into God's chest
Too beautiful to change or perhaps too scared
So now, we turn from wealth in the height of all our poverty
Cut the sinner, bleed redemption through the city streets
Amen to the fools and the cossacks and the pulpits
Amen to the people who think there's still a way to help us
That's greater than us all, greater than us all
When He pulled out the dagger and marveled at the pain He could create
Where lead locusts pierce the heart of men
A belief to fortify this stained glass disgrace
A call that renders me ageless, turning the pages of a belief
Amen to the people, Amen to the people, Amen to the people
The truth behind our lives will be erased
Amen to the people, Amen to the people, Amen to the people
