Yeah I know what you are

Just an icon for fools to succumb to

Yeah I know what you are

A false deity, imposter

Yeah I know what you are

Sacrificed by those you were sent to save

Yeah I know what you are

The last prayer for the dying



The image of your god

Nailed to a cross

Was that his greatest feat?

His most important task?



Yeah I know what you are

Just an icon for fools to succumb to

Yeah I know what you are

A false deity, imposter

Yeah I know what you are

The last hope for the dying



The image of your god

Nailed to a cross

Was that his greatest feat?

His most important task?



What of the lepers healed

The prophecies foretold

Why not immortalise these

You aren't entirely sold

Your magnanimous god

Bait for the vultures

Can't you tell he's merely a mortal

Yet you wait and you wait

For 2000 years you wait

And still there's no one to save you!



See your saviour hang

See him wither and die

Without an ounce of resistance

As the nails drive in

Thinks his father'll save him

And the nails drive in, there he is

Your Jesus Christ on the cross

The great martyr

Who gave his life for your salvation

And where's he now

For 2000 years you have waited

He couldn't save himself

How do you think he can save you?
