Lyrics

On the Cross

We were taught to kneel and bow our heads
Tried simply standing up instead
Heard rumors of transparent legs
And walked for days and days
These days we reach for so much more
We reached the point where we can't go home
Alone, we wait here underground
Amidst the others waiting

So pray then
If it makes you feel safe
But all I can say is "we go our own way"
We go our own way
So save us

You were guessed, you were the chosen one
The right place, you were the firstborn son
Once questioned stable state of mind
To spend some time in the gutter
A full collapse and caving in
Just wait for faith to kick in
Lost track of time as I stood in line
Amidst the other believers

So pray then
If it makes you feel safe
And all I can say is "we go our own way"
So pray then
If it makes you feel safe
All I can say is "we go our own way"
We go our own way
So save us

Over and over and I still cannot believe
We can't save ourselves
Give me a chance up on the cross and watch me bleed
Now ask for help
Having faith in something you can't see
Takes something else
Over and over and I still cannot believe
We can save ourselves

So pray then
If it makes you feel safe
All I can say (all I can say)
Is "we go our own way"
So pray then
If it makes you feel safe
All I can say (all I can say)
Is "we go our own way"
Send your prayers our way
To save us
