In the beginning there was a void
Except for the written word
I was born in such foolish times
My guilt was guaranteed
Now I don't wanna burn in hell
John told me that I would
Unless I went down to the water
My sins purged in his holy blood

See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross

Now I got my bleeding heart
And I wear my crown of thorns
And argue with the old men
About the tapestry was torn
I gotta sacrifice my ego
It's such a small price to pay
I'm waiting for the resurrection
Gonna find out what Christ would say

See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross

See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross

Read another Bible story
I've got to find my truth
Sending loads of telegrams to God
Prove my faith is absolute
I'm going down, down on my knees and pray
Maybe I'll buy a talisman
Something's gotta save me
On the judgement day

See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross
See how they run
Sheep to the fold
See how they fall
Corpse from the cross
