I have gotten so many questions and emails about this song. I do not hate Christianity at all. I hate hypocrites who try to use God or the idea of God to put someone down and justify their own actions. This was written about some things I have encountered in my life. It could have been about Buddhis...
[Verse 1]
Lift up a stone and you will find him
Cherish the beauty in the world around us
Not in buildings or crosses made by man
Judge me, fuck you, stop playing god
Your forked tongue prophecies
Carelessly caressing the wounds of the weak
People like you should be crucified
Then maybe, just maybe, you would have an idea
Of what you are talking about
[Pre-Chorus]
My only solace is that one day
Judgment will come for the wicked, then we will see who burns
My only solace is that one day
Judgment will come for the wicked, then we will see who burns
[Chorus]
Raise your heads, unclasp your hands
Your weakness makes me tremble
True strength comes from within
And we were given this life to live
Not exist under standards
Set by some bullshit rule book
[Verse 3]
What prayers of yours, were ever answered, by degrading others
Spare me your biblical back peddling nonsense
For the people that you've hurt, and the being you dishonor
Your fall from grace will finally justify my means
Judge me and now you are me and what's worse
You are now a traitor to your god
Tell me Judas, how does it feel to be looked down upon
Sinners like you should be strung up from the highest tree
[Pre-Chorus]
My only solace is that one day
Judgment will come for the wicked, then we will see who burns
My only solace is that one day
Judgment will come for the wicked, then we will see who burns
[Chorus]
Raise your heads, unclasp your hands
Your weakness makes me tremble
True strength comes from within
And we were given this life to live
Not exist under standards
Set by some bullshit rule book
[Outro]
You judged me and now you are me, stop playing god
You judged me and now you are me, stop playing god
