Crucify the Dead

[Verse 1]

The fire started long ago

The flames burned out, still embers glow

So charred and black, there's nothing left to burn

To burn

[Pre-Chorus]

We had the same dream

Lived life to extreme

A loaded gun jammed by a rose

[Chorus]

The thorns are not around your head

Your ego cut you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah

[Verse 2]

The future isn't set in stone

Decisions past leave you alone

Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed

Your greed, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

New soldiers now stand

At your beck and command

Recruited, all bought and paid by you

[Chorus]

The thorns are not around your head

Your ego cut you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah

[Bridge]

We were like brothers with the world in our hands

You always had too much to say

Someday you'll look back and you'll wonder why

You let it all slip away, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Crucify the dead

Crucify the dead

[Chorus]

The thorns are not around your head

Your ego cut you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me you're dead, yeah
