I am the Promethean   Tragic figure in this dream   Dream known as life   I bring spark into the lives   Take the molded, show them fire   Fire's the spark in their eyes     My flesh is ripped at daily   It's the cross I bear     I feel it tear out my insides   A pain so heavy I could collapse   I feel it just may kill me   I must brave through this storm     I am made exemplary   Lashed up by the public scene   For bearing my heart, my soul's on fire   I pull my ribs open now   Bleed my heart upon the grounds   Drink of the blood, take me in     My flesh is ripped at daily   It's the cross I bear     I feel it tear out my insides   A pain so heavy I could collapse   I feel it just may kill me   I must brave through this storm     Chain me down, nail me up   It feels so cold on my skin   Flesh cut deep from their claws   Chew my organs out   Salivating with hate   Crown of thorns, deathly boards; won't   Make me cease to be   You've turned this scapegoat into   The lion that will devour you whole     2x   My flesh is ripped at daily   It's the cross I bear     2x   I feel it tear out my insides   A pain so heavy I could collapse   I feel it just may kill me   I must brave through this storm
