Man of Sorrows
Here in a church, a small boy is kneeling
He prays to a God, he does not know, he cannot feel
All of his sins of childhood he will remember
He will not cry, tears he will not cry
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders what was it all about
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old
"Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why, wondering why
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders what was it all about
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
A man of sorrows, wrecked
With thoughts that dare not speak their name
Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life, "I hate myself!", he cried (he cried)
"Do what thou wilt!", "Do what thou wilt!", he cried
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders what was it all about
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders what was it all about?
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
Has it just begun?
He prays to a God, he does not know, he cannot feel
All of his sins of childhood he will remember
He will not cry, tears he will not cry
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders what was it all about
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old
"Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why, wondering why
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders what was it all about
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
A man of sorrows, wrecked
With thoughts that dare not speak their name
Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life, "I hate myself!", he cried (he cried)
"Do what thou wilt!", "Do what thou wilt!", he cried
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders what was it all about
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders what was it all about?
Is your journey over? Has it just begun?
Has it just begun?
