作曲 : Moses Adame There was once a man who was confused by the world So he took it in his hands and he cut it into pieces Exposing the rancid core, this sweet meaty crust Calling men to see the laughing lies of trust The rational called him unstable, the religious called him heretic Bound and thrown into a cell prepared for the mentally sick The inquisitor questioned him with iron tongs and flame He was ordered burned at the stake to relieve the public’s shame There was once a man who grew tired of believing In the self serving idols of the royal viceroys In time binding ties conceptive of the mind Free to set themselves from the pits of dark decline His obvious discontent was nervous smiles away From the son of ill reprieve staring into the fire Set shaping wax boil and boiling demise With screaming pain in his eyes he set the image ablaze The rational called him unstable, the religious called him heretic Bound and thrown into a cell prepared for the mentally sick The inquisitor questioned him with iron tongs and flame He was ordered burned at the stake to relieve the public’s shame Surface yourselves, men of dark decline Surface yourselves, state of confusion Bring me that man, let me look at him Do you deny the charges against you? Ha! He lies! Take him away Next Oh yes, you. Who is that dark man? He is strange and fretting. String him up God will save him if he’s pure of heart Ha. Bring me that man. Let me look at him Do you deny the charges against you? Tell the truth. Take him away Next Oh yes. What about you woman? Are we tired of her yet? Come on in, the fire’s fine What about you? And you? AND YOU? Try to understand the torch is in your hand Try to understand the torch is in your hand Try to understand the torch is in your hand Try to understand the torch is in your hand
