Up Through The Ashes

So you can hear They claim with conviction You've got a crowd So what's your appeal Your voice, your predictions They're getting loud But if I let you die, you must forgive me Raise me up, up through the ashes Take me on, into the light You want to die Create some sensation Be makin' the news An eye for an eye Mocking your creation King of the Jews Before I let you die, you must forgive me Raise me up, up through the ashes Take me on, into the light Give a sign of remorse (I don't need your blood) You will hang on the cross For playing God You, the people, must decide The self-proclaimed prophet, or the novice murderer The king or the convict, it's up to you So tell me who's free to go Raise me up, up through the ashes Take me on, into the light Raise me up, up through the ashes Take me on, into the light
