Lyrics

Crucified Again

[Verse 1]

On the 12th of January

You don't need what you can't carry

The blood will flow into the ocean

Their voices break with the emotion

[Refrain]

Crucified, then crucified again

Crucified, then crucified again

[Verse 2]

In the night, they started singing

They had no right to keep believing

But down below, there's someone screaming

A broken church, no bells are ringing

[Refrain]

Crucified, then crucified again

Crucified, then crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again

[Verse 3]

Preachers talk on television

Hand out the judgements of their religion

But when I heard those women singing

They made a sound I could believe in

[Refrain]

Crucified, then crucified again

[Verse 4]

He who strikes the blow forgets it

But he who bears the scar remembers

The fire is burning down to embers

The fire is burning but I can't remember

[Refrain]

Crucified, then crucified again

Crucified, then crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again, and again, and again

[Verse 5]

All you great and mighty nations

Who think you've paid for your high stations

Their cities may be built in the sand

But ours were built by their fathers hands

[Refrain]

They crucify, then crucified again

They crucify, then crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again, and again, and again

[Outro]

‘Til the crowd cry, "do it again!"

Crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again, and again, and again

‘Til the crowd cry, "do it again!"

Crucified again

Crucified again
