In the beginning there was a void except for the written word
I was born in such foolish times my guilt is guaranteed
Now I don't want to burn in hell, john told me that I would
Unless I went down to the water my sins purged in his holy blood

See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross

Now I've got my bleeding heart and I wear my crown of thorns
And argue with the old men about the tapestry was torn
I'm waiting for the resurrection, gonna find out what Christ would say

See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross

Read another bible story, I've got to find the truth
Sending loads of telegrams to god, prove my faith is absolute
Going down, down on my knees and pray maybe I'll buy a talisman
Something's got to save me on the judgment day

See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross
