Crown Of Thorns

I wrote every note that you sung

Fought every battle you won

But I'm pulling out the nails

Of the cross you nailed me too

Because I'll no longer be your shadow

You didn't do this alone

And it's time you should know

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown of thorns

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown of thorns

You said the words but I wrote the poem

Enjoyed the warmth but I built the home

But the grave that you dug

Wasn't deep enough for me

Now you wanna cast me aside

Well hey it's an eye for an eye

And I won't be crucified

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown of thorns

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown of thorns

No more quiet woman behind her man

Waiting to correct another one of his mistakes

An anonymous goddess behind her god

Parting the waters of the world before it gets too late

Well do you hear my gospel that you can't have

You can write it yourself because mine's not yours to take

This time, this time, this time

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown of thorns

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown of thorns

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown of thorns

I turned your bricks into a wall

I built the throne where you sat tall

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown

I let them praise you like messiah

While I wore your crown
