Renunciation

What was meant to sleep

Is now awakening

In a second you crush

All that I've tried to rebuild

Insult to injury, time and time again

You play to the gallery

As you act the victim

Self-righteous, self-appointed

Yes I believe

That you believe you're God

So let those without sin

Be the first ones to be crucified

Then let it be known

That you're the one to pity

Instead of those who died

So hear my renunciation of faith

Through all my life

I have crawled on a leash

Never to follow my heart

Or become what I was born to be

A scornful smile

When I found my own way home

Forever criticized

When I failed to achieve your goals

Always too sure of my ground

But am I not

The very image of my God?

Never again shall I drop to my knees

My God owes me an apology

So let those without sin

Be the first ones to be crucified

Then let it be known

That you're the one to pity

Instead of those who died

Yes, let it be known!

That you're the one to pity

Instead of those who died!
