Nazarene Narrative

Crucified in public
In front of all  
the judgement  
All the hungry eyes  
Getting satisfied  
Roaring from the crowd  
The voices getting loud  
Too loud to hear  
the truth  
 
What you knew  
in your youth  
Those golden pony shows  
Pretty picture pose  
Where nobody knows  
What goes on inside  
The reels of your mind  
spinning against the tide  
 
With your mouth open wide  
Trying to scream  
From all the obscene dreams  
Vivid vulgar violence  
And nothing but silence  
Staring back from mirror  
 
I wish they could hear  
What I'm trying to say  
That there is no  
Other way to the light  
You must fight  
Off the demons  
and beasts of the air  
and it's not fair  
 
When you're trapped  
In The Lair of Dismay  
And told to obey the master  
of your own disaster  
The blood runs faster  
Through the veins  
And down the thighs  
Of decay and demise  
So you fall towards death  
Inhale/exhale a final breath  
 
And then die  
 
Breathe  
come back to life  
as the wife and the bride  
Of the bread and the light  
 
No, that don't seem right  
If you're living in sin  
Back to where you begin  
And nothing ever changes  
No heart changing lanes  
Mind just playing games  
Believing all the lies  
they used to hypnotize  
And blind your eyes  
 
But you never open up  
your eyes wide  
And never open  
your heart to a neighbor  
Or your life to a savior  
Who comes from above  
Only recognizing the love  
 
That you gave to each other  
Like a child to a mother  
Only seeing the bliss  
Of her sweetest kiss  
And the warmth  
Of the arms  
That keeps safe from harm  
 
Is where you should be  
If you want to be free  
By true love and devotion  
That spans every ocean  
And closes the divide  
With arms open wide
