The Ascension

[Verse 1]
I am swimming in a sea of disgrace
Drowning in a medical haze
But my heart is at the brink of desiccation
Bled out to keep pride in love
No love lost
No love found
Damnation from any God above

[Verse 2]
Now I stand the fool
In the play I thought I wrote
She is still summer heat
I am April snow
It was Jesus who tempted the Devil in the desert
And the Devil who said no

[Chorus]
Nail me
Crucify
Enslave me
End it all by driving a stake into my heart
Holy Mary
Let her take me
Roll back the stone
Forsake me
I won't sacrifice eternity as a god
I belong to the sky

[Verse 3]
I am swimming in a sea of disgrace
Drowning in a medical haze
But my heart is at the brink of desiccation
Bled out to keep pride in love
No love lost
No love found
Damnation from any God above

[Verse 4]
Now I stand the fool
In the play I thought I wrote
She is still summer heat
I am April snow
It was Jesus who tempted the Devil in the desert
And the Devil who said no

[Chorus]
Nail me
Crucify
Enslave me
End it all by driving a stake into my heart
Holy Mary
Let her take me
Roll back the stone
Forsake me
I won't sacrifice eternity as a god
I belong to the sky

[Chorus]
Nail me
Crucify
Enslave me
End it all by driving a stake into my heart
Holy Mary
Let her take me
Roll back the stone
Forsake me
I won't sacrifice eternity as a god
I belong to the sky
