[Verse 1]
I am God
The only one
I will bring back
Freedom to your heart
You won't believe
That blind can see
No one else before me ever knew
The way to paradise
For another bloody crime
I shall return

[Pre-Chorus]
I am your light on through the night

[Chorus]
Why am I born
Will I fail to rise again
Another crucifixion for another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Can't stop what's going on

[Verse 2]
Sooner or later you must understand
My words bring freedom
And rescue for man
What else to call me your Messiah
Oh, I wish there could be another way
(Watch out tomorrow's child)
Cross and nails are already prepared
(Watch out tomorrow's child)
My sell out
Waits till I'm crucified
I will die before my vision ends
[Chorus]
Why am I born
Will I fail to rise again
Another crucifixion for another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Can't stop what's going on

[Bridge]
Wait for the dawn
To take me away
What will be if I fail
Another golden calf
Never, never ending
Pain and agony
Hit me, nail me, make me god

[Chorus]
Why am I born
Will I fail to rise again
Another crucifixion for another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Can't stop what's going on
Why am I born
Will I fail to rise again
Another crucifixion for another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Another holy war
Can't stop what's going on
