Savage Messiah
I can see through your smile
Now I have seen all your ways and I am knelt down beside you
At night, when you lay
The light of distraction plays across your face
Swipes right in satisfaction
What's left but my untimely fall from grace?
A savage messiah
Whose crown of thorns hangs a barbwire snake
A social pariah
Was born on my knees, I won't buckle 'til I break
You gentrified my birthright
Commoditised my people in a cultural genocide
Woman, bring me my shotgun
I'ma liberate these facile lives
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
You know I am rightful in my mortal judgment
Lord, knows I'm the righteous one
I'm the righteous one, I'm the righteous one
We all have it coming
In the end, we get what we deserve
Me, I'm as separate
From this ashen tree as the firebird
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
Woman, bring me my shotgun
And I'm the righteous one, and I'm the righteous one
I want to lay you down and suffer you, baby
I want to see them devil's laying in your soul
I want to lay you down and suffer you, baby
I want to see them devil's laying in your soul
Now I have seen all your ways and I am knelt down beside you
At night, when you lay
The light of distraction plays across your face
Swipes right in satisfaction
What's left but my untimely fall from grace?
A savage messiah
Whose crown of thorns hangs a barbwire snake
A social pariah
Was born on my knees, I won't buckle 'til I break
You gentrified my birthright
Commoditised my people in a cultural genocide
Woman, bring me my shotgun
I'ma liberate these facile lives
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
You know I am rightful in my mortal judgment
Lord, knows I'm the righteous one
I'm the righteous one, I'm the righteous one
We all have it coming
In the end, we get what we deserve
Me, I'm as separate
From this ashen tree as the firebird
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
Woman, bring me my shotgun
And I'm the righteous one, and I'm the righteous one
I want to lay you down and suffer you, baby
I want to see them devil's laying in your soul
I want to lay you down and suffer you, baby
I want to see them devil's laying in your soul
