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