Savage Messiah

[Verse 1]
I can see through your smile
Now I have seen all your ways and I am knelt down beside you
At night, when you lay
The light of distraction plays across your face
Swipes right in satisfaction
What's left but my untimely fall from grace?

[Verse 2]
A savage messiah
Whose crown of thorns hangs a barbwire snake
A social pariah
Was born on my knees, I won't buckle 'til I break
You gentrified my birthright
Commoditized my people in a cultural genocide
Woman, bring me my shotgun
I'ma liberate these facile lives

[Chorus]
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
You know I am rightful in my mortal judgment
Lord, knows I'm the righteous one
I'm the righteous one, I'm the righteous one

[Verse 2]
We all have it coming
In the end, we get what we deserve
Me, I'm as separate
From this ashen tree as the firebird

[Chorus]
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they're doing
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they've done
You know I am rightful in my mortal judgment
Lord, knows I'm the righteous one
Woman, bring me my shotgun
And I'm the righteous one, and I'm the righteous one

[Outro]
I want to lay you down and suffer you, baby
I want to see them devil's laying in your soul
I want to lay you down and suffer you, baby
I want to see them devil's laying in your soul
