Christian Vampire

I ask you, Lord
Why can I not bleed
Like your beloved Son
Once did for me

Forsaken from
Thy hollow grounds
I traverse the Earth
My soul hell-bound

But I obey you, Lord
What can I not see
In the mirror
No reflection of peace

And my skin is paper thin
Under your gaze, I feel unclean
Bearing my curse, unholy illness
My final prayer, I ask for forgiveness

I'm just a Christian vampire
I'm just a Christian vampire
I'm just a Christian vampire
I love and they want me to burn

I'm just a Christian vampire
I'm just a Christian vampire
You watched me
Build an empire of grief

Two hundred years
Is a long time to live
Didn't expect to exist
Past my twenties

And cowering down I trust
In my Father's love
I never drank from their blood
Lord, am I still your son?

A symbol of my affection
Tenderize my flesh
I'm begging you for direction
My compass stolen along with my breath

I'm just a Christian vampire
I'm just a Christian vampire
I'm just a Christian vampire
I love and they want me to burn

I'm just a Christian vampire
I'm just a Christian vampire
You watched me
Build an empire of grief

You watched me
You watched me
You watched me
Build an empire of grief
