Here, in a church, a small boy is kneeling |
|
He prays to a god he does not know, he cannot feel |
|
All of his sins of childhood he will remember |
|
He will not cry, tears he will not cry |
|
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face |
|
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace |
|
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? |
|
Is your journey over - has it just begun? |
|
Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old |
|
'Do what thou wilt!', he screams from his cursed soul |
|
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness |
|
Wondering why, wondering why... |
|
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face |
|
(I won't see your face) |
|
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace |
|
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? |
|
Is your journey over - has it just begun? |
|
A man of sorrows, racked |
|
With thoughts that dare not speak their name |
|
Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame |
|
His anger all his life - 'I hate myself!', he cried |
|
'Do what thou wilt!' |
|
'Do what thou wilt!', he cried |
|
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face |
|
(I won't see your face) |
|
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace |
|
(left without a trace) |
|
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? |
|
Is your journey over - has it just begun? |
|
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face |
|
(I won't see your face) |
|
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace |
|
(left without a trace) |
|
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? |
|
Is your journey over - has it just begun? |
|
Has it just begun? |
