Crown of Thorns

There's a crown on my head
There's blood on my chest
My load is much too heavy
It's hard to quicken my steps

I never meant to blame them
For they just don't know
How deeply I'm in love with
All my friends and foes

Behold me now
It's a lamb with a bleeding heart
It's your lord and savior
Father's work of art

I was born for this moment
to sacrifice my life
The Son of man is falling
The Son of God will rise

This is my passion
I know you are watching now
So take me in your hands
For me you are pleased and proud

This is the ending
It's bitter-sweet somehow
So let me rest in your arms
It's been a life-long route
